Honda Target Six Bikes in 2027 as Gresini Switch From Ducati Edges Closer

Honda is planning to field six bikes in MotoGP from 2027, targeting a second satellite team alongside LCR to expand its presence at the start of the 850cc era. Gresini Racing is close to finalising a switch from Ducati back to Honda, a return to the partnership that ran from 1997 to 2014. The move would open a path to the grid for David Alonso and potentially Enea Bastianini. The 2027 grid is taking shape fast.
