Description: Marco Bezzecchi is staying put. Marc Marquez will, too. After that - nearly everone else is on the move in what promises to be a crazy Silly Season. But do riders know what they are getting into for 2027? I analyze all the rumors, and talk about who is headed to the right place to start the 850cc MotoGP era.

The Rundown:

- Silly Season - this time, it will truly be silly!
- Into the unknown: 2027 brings opportunity, but also uncertainty about which bikes will be best
- Confirmed: Marco Bezzecchi is married to the idea of Aprilia
- Confirmed: Marc will be with Ducati - but is he hedging for Honda, or retirement in the future?
- MotoGP Silly Season Rumors:
- Pedro Acosta - nobody is surprised, Ducati gets what they are looking for
- Pecco Bagnaia doesn't want Yamaha money, Jorge Martin does 
- Fabio Quartararo could be Honda's secret weapon
- KTM and a pair of riders set to take a big chance on each other. 

There is still more to come! Tuesday we talk testing and manufacturer prospects heading into 2026, and Wednesday look for a preview of theThaiGP!
