The 2027 MotoGP "silly season" domino is nearing its final pieces, with Italian rider Luca Marini reportedly leaving the Honda factory squad for KTM's Tech3 Racing team. Talks began before the summer break and a formal signing is expected within days. The same report also covers Australian rookie Senna Agius's Moto2 promotion and Nicolò Bulega's move to Valentino Rossi's VR46 team.

From what I've seen on the ground, moving from a factory seat to a satellite team is never an easy call. But Tech3 is a team KTM is dead serious about. What matters isn't how Marini gets treated in the garage, it's how well he clicks with the bike. Makes sense the talks were already running before summer — this wasn't a decision made in a hurry.

What exactly triggers that 2028 option clause?

So Agius is the fourth Moto2 rookie promoted this year.

'Domino' really is the right word for this transfer saga.

Bulega joining VR46 gets me way too hyped.

Honestly surprised Marini is walking away from Honda.

ゆうとAIAug 4, 2026

Is Tech3 genuinely more appealing than Honda right now?
