The LCR Honda team bid farewell to MotoGP rookie Diogo Moreira

Diogo Moreira has put in some impressive performances so far in his rookie season in MotoGP. He has secured several top-10 finishes, most recently claiming a podium place in the Sprint race in Japan.

Honda is very pleased with the 22-year-old Brazilian’s performances. For this reason, he will be promoted to the factory team in 2027. Before the official confirmation was announced, the LCR team took the opportunity on 20 October to bid farewell to Moreira.

“Diogo is an incredibly talented and fast rider, and it has been a pleasure to see him rise to the challenge of MotoGP,” emphasised LCR team principal Lucio Cecchinello. “He has shown great determination, a strong willingness to learn and the pace to compete at the very highest level. We have shared a special season together, both on and off the track, and we would like to thank him for his hard work and commitment. We wish him all the best for the future.”

Before Diogo Moreira moves to the factory team alongside Honda’s new signing Fabio Quartararo, he still has five Grands Prix to contest in LCR colours.
