Honda is entrusting the development test of its new 850cc machine to a rider who is leaving the manufacturer at the end of the season. At the same time, a prominent test rider is returning to KTM’s prototype in Misano, and the first major factory rider test of the new era is drawing closer.

Before the MotoGP weekend in Brno, the title fight is intensifying: Marc Marquez has recently gained significant ground but remains well behind Aprilia.

Pirelli takes over as the sole tire supplier for MotoGP in 2027 and is in the midst of developing the new tires.

After the conclusion of the Isle of Man TT 2026, the organisers presented three special awards honouring individual riders beyond the race results. James Chawke, Rhys Stephenson and Barry Furber take centre stage: as fan favourite, most promising newcomer and best privateer of the season.

The Senior TT restart on the Isle of Man has been delayed by approximately three hours on Saturday. With Sunday no longer available as a reserve day, this is the final opportunity to run the most prestigious race of the Tourist Trophy.
