Jake Dixon’s 2025 Moto2 season has been inconsistent to say the least, but it hasn’t prevented him from being linked to a promotion to MotoGP.

Currently, he’s the closest Briton to being able to make the jump to the premier class and has spent the last eight years in Moto2.

He made his MotoGP debut for Yamaha in 2021, but a 19th place and a retirement didn’t properly show what he could do.

Three consecutive top-eight finishes in the standings have put some teams on alert, and even saw him closely linked to Aprilia for 2026.

However, Jorge Martin’s decision to stay at Aprilia means that Dixon no longer has the option to join the Italian manufacturer.

Martin’s 2026 contract U-turn may have arisen after witnessing how much their bike has improved lately. It’s a shame for British fans, who might have had someone to cheer on again back on the grid.

Jake Dixon will now make ‘clear’ move to Honda’s World Superbike factory team for 2026

With there being few rides to choose from for the 2026 season, it’s understandable that Dixon may want to wait until 2027 or put his eggs in another basket.

If he was the leader in the Moto2 championship, he might be fielding a few more calls, however, some bad luck at times means he trails top man Manu Gonzalez by 58 points.

SPEEDWEEK now reports that it’s ‘clear’ he will be making the move to the World Superbike Championship for 2026.

The German outlet believes that he will be joining Honda’s factory team. They will gain an experienced rider who should be entering his prime.

The Japanese manufacturer’s highest-placed rider is currently seventh with 90 points, 255 behind overall leader Toprak Razgatlioglu, so Dixon will have some work to do.

What has hurt Jake Dixon’s 2025 Moto2 title charge the most?

Judging by his results in 2025, there is one thing which has hurt his ability to be higher in the championship currently.

A retirement in Qatar and a 17th at Mugello offered him 0 points, while the top two in the standings managed to finish both events in the top three.

Second-placed Aron Canet has finished in the points at every single race this year, and is leaving nothing on the table.

It’s that sort of consistency which Dixon is looking for in order to make a title push. If he can come back in the second half of the season, the title could be there for the taking.
