Jake Dixon is on the shortlist for a MotoGP team in 2026, according to Italian media.

The Moto2 rider has long flirted with the premier class without ever g🏅etting the right opportunity to make the jum𝓰p.

But the uncertain rider market in MotoGP, caused by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin, has created movement.

And Aprilia have placed Di💃xon as “a candidate” sh𝄹ould they have a vacant seat next year, report.

However💧, the path for Dixon onto ෴the factory Aprilia is complicated and depends largely on others.

Jake Dixon has a shot at MotoGP in 2026?

Firstly, Martin and Aprilia must✤ solve their stand-off.

The MotoGP champion was back 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结♚果历史:wearing the team’s colours and riding their bike at a promotional day at Misano at the weekend.

There is the possibility of reconciliation, as Aprilia CEO Massimo Rivol꧂a has hoped for, with Martin.

He hinted at 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:a second chance, when he returns from injury, by racing several rounds to learn about the future competitiveness of the proj😼ect.

But Martin plans to involve a contractual clause to leave for another team in 202𝓀6. Honda are strongly linke𝔍d with his signature.

Aprilia also have Enea Bastianini reportedly in their si🦄ghts as a replaceme🌸nt for Martin.

Bastianiꦛni (and Martin) lost out in the battle for a factory Ducati to Marc Marquez this year, so he went to Tech3 KT🦩M.

But the Italian rider has never got to grips with hiജs new machine and an opportunity to again be a factory rider, for an Italy-based brand, is logical.

But Moto2 rider Dixon🦩 is also mentioned as a possibility, with his passport reportedly “useful”. There is no permanent British rider in MotoGP, and hasn’t been since Cal Crutchlow stepped away from regularly racing in 2020.

Now𓆉 with Elf Marc VDS Racing, this is༒ Dixon’s fourth season in Moto2. He is currently third in the standings.
