Pedro Acosta has raised serious concerns about the MotoGP format planned from 2027, warning that the increase in decisive sessions could put riders under major pressure and even shorten their careers.
The Spaniard fears that, with qualifying, sprint races and the new rules, the space to recover physically and mentally will become too small. In his view, the change could end up favouring only those who can best handle the extreme demands of the weekend.
