Honda must decide who partners Fabio Quartararo in its factory team for 2027. The candidates are Moto3 champion David Alonso and Diogo Moreira, the 2025 Moto2 champion currently at LCR. Johann Zarco stays at LCR, and both contenders are set to receive identical machinery and upgrades.
I'd take Moreira without hesitating. A rider with a year of MotoGP has more tools from corner entry to exit than one who has never sat on the thing. But 2027 is 850cc on Pirellis. In a year that resets everyone, how far experience carries is honestly something you can only find out by doing it.

Sitting next to Quartararo is the highest-pressure seat right now.
Honda has a long history of betting on youth and being right.
If Zarco stays at LCR, that looks like the stable side.
Choosing between two rookies in the 850cc reset year — thin evidence.
Moreira, surely. A year on the bike is a real gap.
Alonso's Pirelli experience in Moto2 might matter in 2027.
