Overview
- The Race reports Bagnaia is in the final stages of agreeing to join Aprilia from 2027, creating an all-Italian pairing with Marco Bezzecchi.
- With Bezzecchi already extended, landing Bagnaia would make Aprilia the first factory to lock its full 2027 line-up under the new regulations.
- Yahoo reports Aprilia has raised its offer and identified Fabio Di Giannantonio as a fallback if the Bagnaia talks fail.
- Yamaha, which pursued Bagnaia with a big-money proposal, is now planning its 2027 partner for the reported incoming Jorge Martin, with options said to include Di Giannantonio and Enea Bastianini.
- Market movement remains constrained as Marc Marquez’s Ducati extension is still not signed, a delay sources say is affecting other deals.
