Moto GP: Championship leader Jorge Martin crashed out in his home GP in Spain, while Bagnaia took out a dramatic win.
Downsized engines, a reduction in aerodynamics and a total ban on ride-height devices are among the new regulations set to reshape MotoGP in 2027, after the series announced a suite of sweeping changes on Monday.
Previously, MotoGP employed 800cc engines from 2007-11, while 900cc engines were used from the advent of the MotoGP era between 2002-06. Under current rules, aerodynamic homologation only applies to the front and sides of the bikes, leaving manufacturers to come up with ever-more complex aero solutions to the rear of their machines, most of which now feature rear wings more akin to miniature F1 cars.
Rear ride-height devices, originally developed to help control wheelies off a standing start but now employed more widely by riders to control the exit on every corner, have been banned altogether to place the skill in exiting corners back into the riders’ hands. A ban on front ride-height devices came into effect this season.
