Step between Moto3 and Moto2 ‘too big’, as Dorna teases ‘exciting announcement’
Dorna’s chief sporting officer Carlos Ezpeleta has hinted at upcoming announcements regarding the future of Moto3, acknowledging the current gap between Moto3 and Moto2 is too large. The Moto3 class, introduced in 2012 as a replacement for the 125cc machinery, is set to transition to a spec championship in 2027 with Yamaha potentially providing engines and Kalex designing chassis. This move aims to reduce costs in Moto3 and align it with Moto2, which does not utilize prototype machinery. Official updates on Moto3’s future are expected by the end of the year, recognizing the need to bridge the gap between Moto3 and Moto2. Dorna is looking to enhance Moto3, increase opportunities for young talents globally, and ensure a smoother transition from Moto3 to Moto2. This strategic development plan emphasizes continuous investment in the lower categories of MotoGP to maintain equality and elevate standards across the championship.
