The massive MotoGP change coming for 2027
Added 2025-03-11 09:00:11 +0000 UTCMotoGP’s 2027 rules reset has become even more seismic with the news the substantial technical regulation changes will coincide with Pirelli ousting Michelin as the series’ tyre supplier.
Simon Patterson joins Matt Beer to explain all the implications for the championship, teams and riders, and to answer The Race Members’ Club’s questions about the potential consequences.
We discuss what Pirelli’s work (and controversies) on the MotoGP ladder, in World Superbikes and even Formula 1 tells us about how its tyres might impact the quality and style of racing in MotoGP.
Is the tyre change a guarantee of a wide open and competitive 2027 season? Simon reckons so - find out why on the pod.

2025-03-12 08:40:47 +0000 UTCAm I going crazy or did I hear Simon say endurance is still a tyre war? Is that in IMSA? the WEC Qatar race had the entire gt3 field on one spec of Goodyear, not even a choice of compounds
