Young Colombian rider David Alonso has been confirmed to move up to MotoGP with Honda in 2027. Whether he lands with the factory squad or LCR Honda remains undecided, though he says he isn't concerned either way, calling both 'specialist teams.'
I like how unbothered Alonso is about which seat he lands in. Hearing that Stoner, Martin, Bagnaia, and Acosta all started on satellite bikes tells you the badge on the tank doesn't matter once you've got that throttle feel dialed in.

Genuinely excited to see a Colombian rider make it to MotoGP.
LCR's independent but still gets to run under Honda's name?
Yep, as long as the deal's in place they run Honda machinery.
Stoner and Martin both started satellite, that's just fact.
Great riders have been forged on satellite bikes forever.
Not caring factory or LCR shows real composure.
Deep down he's gotta prefer the factory seat though, right?
