It has been officially announced that 2021 MotoGP champion Fabio Quartararo will join Honda starting in 2027. The move by the French star, who has long carried Yamaha, is major news that will significantly shake up the balance of power from next season onward.
This is a big deal, I honestly got chills. Quartararo leaving Yamaha for Honda — a champion's decision is always thrilling. Honda's struggled in recent years, but when a top rider genuinely drives development, the picture changes. In 2027, I'm going to watch how this bet plays out with everything I've got.

Wait, how many years ago was it that Quartararo actually became champion?
Just once, back in 2021. Yamaha's been struggling ever since.
Zero titles since 2021. His win rate itself isn't bad, but it's not translating into championships.
What's Yamaha going to do once their star rider leaves? Not having an ace on the M1 is a pretty big loss.
Reminds me of when Rossi went to Ducati. A star rider's transfer can go either way, poison or cure.
Just imagining Quartararo at HRC gives me chills, can't take my eyes off next season.
The 2021 champion actually going out of his way to pick up Honda... this all comes down to how far along the RC213V really is.
But after seeing Marquez's comeback story last year, I can feel Honda might have a shot at turning things around too.
