MXGP is looking very healthy in 2027, with 14 factory riders in the big boy class as of now. Obviously the might of HRC lead the way with Jeffrey Herlings and Tom Vialle racing for Honda, while Yamaha will have Tim Gajser and Ruben Fernandez, Ducati will have Romain Febvre and Andrea Bonacorsi, Triumph have Guillem Farres and Mikkel Haarup, Red Bull KTM have Andrea Adamo and Maxime Renaux, Red Bull Husqvarna have Kay De Wolf, Kawasaki have Pauls Jonass and ZXMoto roll into the paddock for the first time with Kevin Horgmo and Oriol Oliver.

If you add the leading privateer riders, of Calvin Vlaanderen, Jago Geerts, Jan Pancar, Isak Gifting and Ben Watson, its a pretty impressive field of quality riders for next season in the 450 class. Many more names and teams will be involved, but here are some of the leading riders below.
