Five MotoGP veterans are set to leave the world championship's premier class for 2027, GPOne reports. Brad Binder has agreed a deal with BMW's WorldSBK team to replace Danilo Petrucci, while Franco Morbidelli is moving to the factory-backed Aruba.it Ducati squad in place of Nicolò Bulega. Alex Rins is in talks with the Go Eleven Ducati team and Jack Miller is weighing a Yamaha WorldSBK offer from the Crescent squad.

Binder and Morbidelli making the call — I get it, having watched this game from the inside. That split-second decision-making from corner entry to exit translates straight over to Superbike. Rins and Miller still hanging in limbo smells like paddock politics to me, and honestly that's a game I can't read. Either way, I want both of them on a podium next year.

If Rins and Miller are also weighing moves, next year's grid's gonna look totally different

Makes sense injured vets bail to WSBK, no need to force it in the top class

Morbidelli going Ducati WSBK could be huge, so hyped

Whether he pops off depends on the tires tho, don't get your hopes up

Morbidelli's replacing Bulega, guess the Aruba lineup name changes again

Binder taking over from Petrucci, guess WSBK's generational shift is moving fast now

Isn't Ducati stronger in WSBK though? Not sure BMW's the smart pick
