Jack Miller suggests Moto3 could have reduced tyre size instead of moving to 700cc production-based engines.
“While attention is currently focused on MotoGP’s 2027 technical changes, the Moto3 class is expected to undergo an even more dramatic transformation in 2028. The current 250cc single-cylinder machines are tipped to be replaced by larger 700cc production-based twin-cylinders from a single supplier.
Jack Miller, a former Moto3 contender, accepts the need for change but questions the increase in engine size. He believes that reducing the tire width could have achieved the goal of showcasing the best riders more effectively.
Miller also expresses concerns about the cost implications of using production-based engines in Moto3, stating that bespoke racing engines may be more suitable. Despite these reservations, he supports efforts to increase safety in the junior class and anticipates that larger machines will spread out the field more effectively.”
