Marc Marquez has once again warned about the impact of advanced aerodynamics in MotoGP, adding that waiting until 2027 to change the regulations is ‘too late’.
The Pramac Ducati rider qualified in twelfth, climbed quickly to seventh, but then dropped to 13th after serving a long lap penalty.
The Spaniard, who fought through to seventh again, pointed the finger at the higher starting tyre pressures needed to avoid a risk of a post-race penalty, under the new system of stricter pressure enforcement. “It’s a pressure thing. With these pressure limits,” Martin said of the spread-out racing. “Normally we go into the [correct tyre pressure] range on the ninth lap and already on the first lap I had a good pressure! So this means at lap nine, I was overheating quite a lot.“That is why coming from 13th was very complicated and as soon as I had [fresh air] I pulled six seconds away from the rider behind.
“It is another braking point that overheats the tyres more. But for sure it is also less dangerous for the third corner,” he said. The current five-year cycle of technical rules runs until the end of 2026. Any changes before then can only be made on safety grounds or with unanimous agreement from the five manufacturers.
