Yamaha has officially confirmed that Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins will leave the team at the end of this season. Their paths with the M1 will part ways once the 2026 season concludes. Quartararo is moving to Honda, while Rins will look for a new seat.
I've watched it over and over in the pits, but deciding to leave a factory team is no half-hearted thing. 2021 champion Quartararo has given up on the M1 and is heading to Honda. Rins is searching for new ground too. How the two of them ride next season — I can't take my eyes off it until the very end.

Not being able to land a Ducati seat kind of tells you everything already.
It's rough that Rins's next destination is still just 'searching', there aren't any open seats right now.
Feel really bad for Rins, without a landing spot he's looking at either a satellite ride or retirement.
Quartararo to Honda, I'd genuinely want to see that, a big-name transfer for the first time in a while.
Quartararo to Honda, if he can't win on the M1, is there any guarantee he'd bounce back on the RC213V? Worried he might get stuck in the mud.
Is Honda really that weak right now? My image of them used to be dominant.
So the 2021 champion's leaving Yamaha for Honda... sign of the times.
