Part 3: Pecco Bagnaia Confirmed With Multi-Year Deal At Aprilia

Part 3: Pecco Bagnaia Confirmed With Multi-Year Deal At Aprilia The next brick in the 2027 MotoGP rider edifice has been laid, and once again, it is one that we have known about for many months. Today, Aprilia announced that they have signed Pecco Bagnaia to race alongside Marco Bezzecchi for 2027 and beyond. The most interesting detail is that Bagnaia has signed a four-year deal with Aprilia, committing him through 2030. Though as past experience has shown, such contracts remain contingent on results. Miguel Oliveira had a contract with Yamaha for 2026, but is racing in WorldSBK with BMW this year. The last time that anyone signed a four-year contract was Marc Marquez with Honda, starting in 2021, and he left to Ducati a year early, at the end of 2023. The announcement of Bagnaia confirms that Jorge Martin is leaving. The 2024 world champion's move to Yamaha is still awaiting official confirmation. But such confirmation is certain to come over the following days.
