A plan to limit MotoGP teams to one bike per rider in 2027 has gone down very badly with some
Tech3 team boss Guenther Steiner expressed his support for MotoGP riders opposing the switch to a single-bike format in 2027. MotoGP teams currently provide two bikes per rider for flexibility during race weekends, including swift changes in wet conditions. The proposal to limit riders to one bike has been met with criticism, notably from riders and surprising ally Steiner, who highlighted potential cost implications. Steiner emphasized the importance of maintaining the spectacle and fan experience in MotoGP, recommending alternative cost-saving measures like budget caps or reduced testing. While opinions vary among riders, with some acknowledging the precedent in Moto2 and Moto3, concerns persist about the impact on the excitement and drama of the sport.
