MotoGP's 2027 Line-Up Finalized with Australian Addition

Confirmed

Sports Desk

In Short: The MotoGP line-up for 2027 is set to see a significant change with the addition of an Australian rider, as the series pushes for a new circuit in Adelaide.

According to reports, the MotoGP line-up for 2027 is complete with the addition of an Australian rider, signaling a significant shift in the grid. This move is linked to MotoGP's push to replace the iconic Phillip Island circuit with a new parklands circuit in Adelaide, with the importance of having a local racer on the grid believed to have played a role.

Tech3's rider, Agius, is set to join the line-up, while Jack Miller, a countryman and stalwart of the grid, departs. The only question marks left in the radically changed 2027 MotoGP line-up are the positions of Honda riders Diogo Moreira and David Alonso. Only five of the current line-up will remain in the same teams as this year, or six if Moreira stays at LCR.

Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP rider, who had been linked with a move to WorldSBK, has ruled out that possibility. He has decided to pursue a different project, which he says is not yet ready to be announced. The move to sign an Australian rider, as opposed to Miller, has been linked to the importance of having a local racer on the grid for the new Adelaide circuit.
