Enea Bastianini will race for the SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team from 2027, signing for the 2027 and 2028 seasons aboard the Aprilia RS-GP. He lines up alongside Raul Fernandez, who recently renewed, and begins testing at Valencia once the 2026 championship wraps up.
This is the guy who won in Qatar, the USA, France and Aragon in 2022 and finished third overall. From what I've watched, Bastianini is a rider who closes the deal on Sunday. The RS-GP is turning into a bike that can actually win right now. Two years going head to head with Raul Fernandez on identical machinery — that's going to be worth watching.

Justin Marks comes from NASCAR, right? It's unusual for one owner to run both a car and a bike team.
In 2024 he took nine podiums, two wins and a sprint victory for fourth overall. On the numbers alone he's a real asset.
Trackhouse is a satellite team, though. Is that really where a rider who finished third overall in 2022 should be going?
Once Raul Fernandez signed his renewal, you can't really write that team off as second tier any more.
A two-year deal. That feels like a fair amount of time for Bastianini to settle in and develop the bike.
The RS-GP is picky about its rider. You'll read everything from his face at that first Valencia test.
