After taking his second Moto2 victory of the season at the Austrian Grand Prix, Diogo Moreira is openly planning to move up to MotoGP next year with the goal of joining a manufacturer team. In his second season in Moto2, Moreira started slower than expected for a rider who, on paper, had everything to contend for the intermediate category title. But after overcoming a shaky start, the Italtrans rider found his rhythm, and his momentum is so strong that it now seems inevitable that he will move up to MotoGP in 2026 – potentially as Moto2 world champion, after the São Paulo rider took his second victory of the season.

Marc Márquez continued his march toward the MotoGP world title with another Grand Prix victory at the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday. The victory represented another one-two finish following Saturday's sprint success, completing the factory Ducati rider's sixth consecutive perfect race weekend—a streak dating back to the Aragon Grand Prix in June. Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi led much of the race from pole position before Márquez took the lead. The Italian then succumbed to pressure on Gresini Ducati rider Fermin Aldeguer, who achieved his best MotoGP result with second place.

After dividing their efforts between new and old bikes in MotoGP this season, there is a good argument for Ducati to bet all on the GP26 next year The emergence of Alex Márquez, together with the commitments of Ducati with Fermin Aldeguer and Fabio Di Giannantonio, among other factors, presents the ideal scenario for the Italian brand to place six identical motorcycles on the MotoGP grid this year. Over the last decade – more or less since Gigi Dall'Igna took over as general manager – Ducati has gradually distanced itself from its direct rivals in MotoGP, reaching a milestone that, in the short and medium term, seems unequaled. His project in the rain category is meticulous in all aspects; Its base is a superb motorcycle that has been explored to the maximum. A satellite team sponsor pays Ducati around €2 million to accommodate the most recent Desmosedici. This value is the goal for a previous year's version. There have been moments, like in 2021, when three different model years are aligned not simultaneously.

The German automotive giant admitted that establishing a MotoGP team in time for the 2027 rule change was “not feasible,” but did not close the door on a future MotoGP entry. With three major European manufacturers already on the MotoGP grid—Ducati, KTM, and Aprilia (of the Piaggio Group)—the absence of German giant BMW has always seemed an anomaly. This is especially true considering its current presence and success in the WorldSBK production motorcycle category with Toprak Razgatlioglu. BMW has flirted with the idea of entering MotoGP since its inception in 2002, when the new era of 990cc prototypes began. At that time, the project never progressed beyond a full-scale mockup.
