Francesco Bellei and Cat Moto will not continue their partnership into 2027. The team has announced the Italian rider’s departure, explaining that Bellei has been offered a new opportunity that Cat Moto simply cannot provide. Where his future lies has not yet been announced.
According to the team, Bellei had a difficult start to the season but continued to make progress throughout the year. His hard work eventually paid off, and the Italian rider finished his season strongly.
The partnership now comes to an end after just one year. Cat Moto has emphasized that it fully supports Bellei in pursuing his new opportunity.
“Francesco has now been given an opportunity that we simply cannot match. Ultimately, we see that as proof that we have done good work together,” the team stated.
Cat Moto therefore says goodbye to its rider on a positive note.
“Thank you for the season, Francesco! We wish you all the best for the future and for the next chapter.”
Where Bellei will line up in 2027 has not yet been officially announced.
