Rookie watch: the class of 2026

Two MotoGP rookies, thirteen across the three classes, and one very fast Honda.

Diogo Moreira has 47 points on the LCR Honda with a best finish of sixth at Balaton Park, and has been through the Silverstone speed trap at 362.4 km/h — quicker than anything else in the Honda camp.

Toprak Razgatlioglu has 14 points on the Pramac Yamaha and a best of eleventh, also in Hungary. Eleven Grand Prix starts is not much of a sample; the eleven remaining rounds will be a better one.
