MotoGP manufacturers have announced plans to limit each rider to one motorcycle during practice sessions starting in 2027. This change will accompany a reduction in overall track time throughout race weekends. These decisions stem from discussions at the Motorcycle Sports Manufacturers Association (MSMA) meeting in Balaton Park, aimed at reducing costs for manufacturers and teams. The modifications are pending formal drafting and must be approved by the Grand Prix Commission. While these shifts seek to streamline practices and operations, internal opinions within the MSMA vary regarding their effectiveness.
- •Riders will have only one bike in practice from 2027.
- •Track time will be shortened across the weekend.
- •These changes are intended to reduce costs for teams.
- •The proposals need approval from the Grand Prix Commission.
- •Some MSMA members express doubts about the proposed effectiveness.
