Italian tire manufacturer Pirelli is preparing to test the new compounds it is developing for MotoGP during an event in Spain later this year, Motorsport.com has learned. The test will see five manufacturers trial new compounds that Pirelli is developing ahead of its MotoGP debut in 2027.
Pirelli will become MotoGP’s exclusive tire supplier from 2027, following the departure of Michelin. The French brand initially stated that it intended to remain in the series beyond 2026, but MotoGP instead opted to unify its tire supplies across all three world championship categories, as well as the electric MotoE series.
