MotoGP is overhauling its race weekend from 2027: the Sprint gets its own qualifying session on Friday, and the Warm-up on Sunday is dropped. This changes the schedule on all three days, and riders will have less free practice time in the very year of the new 850s.
Aleix Espargaro returns to MotoGP at the Indonesian Grand Prix, replacing the still-absent Joan Mir in Honda’s factory team. The call-up comes just six months after his serious testing crash in Sepang and is more of an emergency solution than a dream scenario for Honda.
Marc Márquez is back on the top step of the podium, but he clearly doesn’t feel like celebrating. Behind the serious face lies a deliberate plan that reveals a lot about his body and his fight for the world title.
Franco Morbidelli is leaving MotoGP after nine years and will ride for the Ducati factory team Aruba.it Racing in the Superbike World Championship in 2027. He takes over the Panigale V4 R of world champion Nicolò Bulega, and his experience with Michelin tyres plays an important role.
Marc Marquez won both the Sprint and the Grand Prix at Motegi and is now just two points behind Jorge Martin in the championship. After the race it became clear why Martin had no chance despite an almost flawless race, and which riders struggled most this weekend.
Marc Marquez has won the Japanese Grand Prix, taking the lead from Jorge Martin on lap 11. Heading into the race in Indonesia, just two points now separate the two title rivals.
After shredded rear tyres for Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin in the sprint, nobody is allowed to start the Japanese Grand Prix on the soft rear tyre. Michelin explicitly recommends the hard tyre with reinforced carcass, but it is not mandatory.
KTM motorsport director Pit Beirer looks back openly on the engine problems of the 2026 MotoGP season and calls them the worst time of the entire MotoGP project. His account shows how a faulty supplier part, sealed engines and an additional electronics failure held the manufacturer back for months.
After missing four Grands Prix, Maverick Vinales returns to the Tech3 team at the Japanese Grand Prix in Motegi. The Spaniard is not fully fit yet, and the remaining races of the 2026 season are likely to be his last in MotoGP.
Two test riders who have been developing the new MotoGP generation for months have a clear preference. Takaaki Nakagami and Pol Espargaro explain what makes the 850cc bikes different and why the current Michelin tyres have to be so hard.
The CFMoto V4 SR-RR is turning its first laps on the race track, with riders in the saddle who will soon be racing in MotoGP. The test with the Aspar team shows how closely CFMoto links its first superbike to its own racing plans.
Red Bull returns to the Honda MotoGP factory team as a sponsor in 2027. For Fabio Quartararo, this means saying goodbye to Monster Energy, which has been with him since his first day in the premier class.
At the last Pirelli test of the season with regular riders, Diogo Moreira set the fastest unofficial time on the new 850cc Honda. The lap times show that the 2027 bikes can already keep up with the current 1000s despite their smaller capacity.
With Daniel Holgado and Senna Agius, two Moto2 race winners move up to MotoGP in 2027, while championship leader Manuel Gonzalez is left without a seat. Holgado explains why the new technology should make his debut easier, and Tech3 CEO Günther Steiner explains why he decided against the championship leader.
After three crashes in a row, Francesco Bagnaia is looking for a new approach to his Ducati, while Toprak Razgatlioglu is going through the toughest phase of his career as a rookie. At the same time, Fabio Quartararo criticises that the riders are once again not being consulted on the plans for the 2027 MotoGP weekend.
MotoGP has set the calendar for the first season of the 850cc era: 22 races between 5 March in Thailand and 28 November in Valencia. Buenos Aires and a street circuit in Adelaide are new, but not every date is fully confirmed yet.
The Grand Prix Commission has officially written the 20,000 rpm rev limit into the MotoGP regulations and banned practice starts from the pit lane at all circuits. On top of that come a reset of Moto2 concessions and a postponement of non-fossil fuel.
MotoGP will not race in Hungary in 2027, with Balaton Park losing its place on the calendar after just two Grands Prix. Behind the exit are too few spectators, a bankrupt promoter and a Hungaroring that is not yet ready for motorcycles.
Marc Marquez only came home fifth at the Austrian Grand Prix because the front brake lever had no firm bite point for long stretches. After the race, three more Ducati riders reported exactly the same problem: Francesco Bagnaia, Fermin Aldeguer and Fabio Di Giannantonio.
Pedro Acosta has taken his first Grand Prix victory in MotoGP at the Grand Prix of Austria, a day after throwing away the sprint and a few hours after another crash in the warm-up. The 22-year-old had previously stood on the podium 15 times without ever reaching the top step.
