MotoGP riders discuss 2027 regulation changes and future team shifts

MotoGP riders are discussing the upcoming 2027 regulation changes, which will see engine capacities reduced to 850cc. Pol Espargaró has expressed concerns regarding the competitive advantage Nicolò Bulega may hold. Because Bulega is a Ducati test rider working directly with the new 850cc prototype, Espargaró believes he will have an unfair level of experience compared to other riders, potentially allowing him to outperform established stars like Marc Márquez and Pedro Acosta.

Meanwhile, Fabio Quartararo has shared insights into his career moves ahead of the technical shifts. While attracted to the Ducati project, Quartararo noted the difficulty of finding space within their highly structured hierarchy. He has instead expressed interest in the evolving Honda factory project, noting the brand's recent developmental progress and the talent within the team, including riders like Johann Zarco.
