Get ready, MotoGP fans! Diogo Moreira, the newly crowned Moto2 World Champion, is about to shake things up in the premier class. And the first big reveal? His race number for the 2026 season!
After a whirlwind victory in Valencia, Moreira is trading in his Moto2 number for a fresh start in MotoGP. He's announced he'll be sporting the #11 on his LCR Honda for his debut. But here's where it gets interesting... his usual number, #10, is already claimed by Luca Marini.
This marks a significant milestone in Moreira's career, and the timing couldn't be better. Just days after securing the Moto2 title, he's gearing up for the Valencia Test, a crucial step towards his MotoGP debut.
But that's not all! MotoGP is making a grand return to Brazil in 2026, with a race in Goiânia. This is the first time since 2004!
And this is the part most people miss... Moreira isn't the only rider with a number change in the works. Toprak Razgatlioglu is also set to announce his number, and Jorge Martin is reclaiming his old number, #89.
It's shaping up to be an electrifying year, starting with the Valencia Test. What do you think about Moreira's number choice? Do you think the return to Brazil will be a success? Let us know in the comments!
