MotoGP bans 2027-spec bike tests until conclusion of 2025 season

The FIM (Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme) announced a series of changes to the 2025 MotoGP World Championship regulations earlier this week. The changes, which took effect on April 29, most notably included the introduction of a test day for riders returning from injury and clarified startline procedures sparked by the recent debacle in Austin.

In addition to the modified regulations, the FIM also announced an agreement regarding testing of prototype bikes that manufacturers are already developing in anticipation of the 2027 season. A major technical overhaul of MotoGP is coming in 2027, including a shift to 850cc engines, reduced aerodynamics and simplified ride-height devices.
