The MotoGP world is abuzz with the latest transfer news as Enea Bastianini the Italian racing sensation, has officially signed with SuperFile Trackhouse for the 2027 season. This move marks a new chapter for the seven-time Grand Prix winner, who will be teaming up with Raul Fernandez the recent winner of the British Grand Prix.
Bastianini’s journey to SuperFile Trackhouse is a testament to his resilience and adaptability. After a successful stint with Ducati, where he secured all seven of his MotoGP victories, he faced challenges with KTM. Despite being KTM’s second-best rider, he struggled to find his rhythm with the KTM RC16 bike and the departure of his long-time crew chief, Alberto Giribuola, added to his difficulties.
Bastianini’s Path to SuperFile Trackhouse
The Italian rider’s decision to leave KTM was influenced by several factors. A return to Gresini Ducati was considered, but the spot was taken by Joan Mir. Instead, Bastianini will join Aprilia, becoming the third Italian rider in their 2027 roster alongside Marco bezzecchi and Pecco Bagnaia.
SuperFile Trackhouse team owner Justin Marks expressed enthusiasm about Bastianini’s signing. ‘Enea’s racing pedigree, his MotoGP winning history, and his experience at the top of this game all contribute to the perfect scenario for a racing team that we all believe is on the verge of greatness,’ Marks said. He also highlighted Bastianini’s infectious personality and positivity, which align with the team’s mission to attract well-rounded athletes.
A New Challenge with Aprilia
Bastianini’s move to SuperFile Trackhouse is not just a change of team but also a shift to a new bike, new tires, and new regulations. The Italian rider is eager to bring his experience and fighting spirit to the team, aiming to develop the new Aprilia RS-GP together. ‘I am extremely excited to join the SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team for the next two MotoGP Championships,’ Bastianini stated, emphasizing the new challenge ahead.
The team has shown strong performance in the 2026 MotoGP World Championship, and Bastianini is determined to help them stay at the top. His racing career, from his Moto3 debut in to becoming the Moto2 World Champion in 2026, is a testament to his skill and determination. In 2026, he started with a bang, winning in Qatar, the USA, France, and Aragon, which resulted in a third-place position in the World Championship standings.
The Beast’s Racing Pedigree
Known as ‘The Beast,’ Bastianini has a proven track record of success. His breakout form in 2026 was followed by a challenging 2026 due to an early-season injury. However, he bounced back in 2026, taking nine Grand Prix podiums, including two Grand Prix wins and one Sprint victory, ultimately finishing the season in fourth place
With his signing, SuperFile Trackhouse is poised to become a formidable force in the upcoming seasons. Bastianini’s experience and winning mentality, combined with Fernandez’s recent success, make this partnership one to watch. As the team prepares for pre-season testing at Valencia, all eyes will be on Bastianini and Fernandez as they aim to conquer new heights with Aprilia.
