2026: A new season, a new challenge for MotoGP\u2019s latest rookie, Diogo Moreira! The Brazilian is just one of the hot topics ahead of Tuesday\u2019s Valencia Test as he prepares to join LCR Honda for 2026. After plenty of speculation, Moreira has now revealed on social media what number he will use next season.<\/p>\n
The newly crowned Moto2 World Champion will change to #11 for his rookie MotoGP season, switching from his usual #10. The change comes as he moves up to the premier class, where Luca Marini (Honda HRC Castrol) already uses the Brazilian\u2019s previous number.<\/p>\n
It marks an exciting point in Moreira\u2019s career as he prepares to move to the premier class, just two days after wrapping up the Moto2 title in Valencia. Moreira also has a trip to Goi\u00e2nia to look forward to in 2026 as MotoGP returns to Brazil for the first time since 2004!<\/p>\n
Moreira isn\u2019t the only rider changing race number in 2026. Toprak Razgatlioglu is also set to announce his race number for next season, while Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) returns to #89 after spending one season using #1. It\u2019s building to be an incredible year, beginning at the Valencia Test on Tuesday \u2013 don\u2019t miss a moment of the action!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026: A new season, a new challenge for MotoGP\u2019s latest rookie, Diogo Moreira!
