The FIM (Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme) just dropped some bombshell changes for the 2025 MotoGP World Championship regulations. Like, seriously, these changes are going to shake things up big time! So, get ready for some major adjustments, folks.
First off, starting from 29 April, they’re introducing a test day for riders coming back from injuries. It’s like a rehab day for MotoGP riders, giving them a chance to get back in the game after being sidelined. And hey, it’s about time they sorted out those startline procedures, especially after that whole mess in Austin. No more confusion, no more chaos – just smooth starts from now on.
But wait, there’s more! The FIM also spilled the beans on an agreement about testing those fancy prototype bikes that manufacturers are cooking up for the 2027 season. We’re talking about some serious technical overhaul here, folks. They’re switching to 850cc engines, toning down the aerodynamics, and simplifying ride-height devices. It’s like MotoGP is getting a whole new makeover!
Now, here’s the catch – even though some manufacturers are already ahead of the game with their 2027 prototypes, they can’t hit the track until the end of the 2025 season. It’s like a waiting game, you know? The FIM made it crystal clear that these futuristic bikes can only be tested from 17 November 2025 onwards. Gotta play by the rules, right?
Oh, and guess what? The 2025 season wraps up in Valencia on 16 November, but the 2026 pre-season test kicks off right after on 18 November. Talk about a quick turnaround! And hold onto your seats because MotoGP is getting a new tyre supplier in 2027 – Pirelli is taking over from Michelin. It’s like a changing of the guard in the tyre world, folks.
Pirelli is all set to test out their premier-class tyre compounds later this season. They’re going all out, funding the test themselves and bringing in some test riders and a 1000cc bike with no ride-height devices and basic aerodynamics. It’s like a sneak peek into the future of MotoGP tyres, and it’s happening at the Aragon circuit, date TBD. Exciting stuff, right?
And hey, good news – the Pirelli test is still on track, no hiccups there. No need to worry about the new regulations messing that up. So, it’s full steam ahead for Pirelli as they gear up for their big debut in 2027. Get ready for some serious tyre action, MotoGP fans!
So, there you have it, folks. The FIM is shaking things up, Pirelli is making moves, and MotoGP is heading towards a bold new era in 2027. It’s like a whole new ball game out there on the track, and we can’t wait to see how it all unfolds. Stay tuned for more updates, because the world of MotoGP is about to get a whole lot more exciting!
