Acosta warns MotoGP 2027 format could “shorten careers”

Pedro Acosta has voiced strong doubts about the Sprint qualifying format planned as part of the 2027 MotoGP regulations. According to the KTM rider, the added intensity could increase physical strain and the level of risk for competitors.

MotoGP is preparing for a major technical overhaul in 2027, with new motorcycles and changes to the race weekend. Acosta fears that an already demanding calendar, combined with increasingly intense sessions, could reduce the length of riders’ careers.
