Fabio Quartararo in Honda for 2027. The bombshell was dropped by our colleagues at Motorsport, who reported that Fabio's move to HRC for next season seems to be a done deal. It hasn't yet been made official, but everything is pointing in that direction.
The French rider's manager commented on the matter: "Has Fabio signed with HRC? The only thing I can confirm is that there are several negotiations on the table, and Honda is one of them. But, as of today, nothing has been signed."
These are the statements made by Thomas "Tom" Maubant to Canal+. In some ways, one might say, "excusatio non petita", that is: he who excuses himself, accuses himself.
The fact is that Fabio's manager has actually admitted to having negotiated with Honda and is waiting for the manufacturers to make the deal official.
