Red Bull KTM has announced its new lineup for the 2027 MotoGP season. Ducati-bred riders Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio join the factory team, while Brad Binder departs. Both riders sign multi-year deals to pilot the factory-spec GP26.
If you ask me, KTM assembling Alex Márquez and Di Giannantonio is a genuinely serious move. Di Gia is 3rd this season with 3 podiums, and having watched this stuff on the ground, his speed when it matters is the real deal. Two riders entrusted with the factory GP26 — the pit's going to be tense next season.

What kind of rider is Di Giannantonio?
Alex getting a factory KTM ride is just pure hype.
Both riders raised on Ducati moving to KTM together, the poaching war is insane.
Pulling both headliners from a rival shows KTM's genuinely serious.
Handing the GP26 to Alex Marquez and Di Giannantonio on a multi-year deal shows a lot of confidence in them.
So they're letting Binder go? Cold, considering how much he's delivered.
Even delivering results, getting squeezed out by politics is just how MotoGP works.
