MotoGP set for radical qualifying overhaul from 2027

MotoGP is preparing a broad qualifying format review for 2027, a season that will also introduce new technical rules and 850cc engines. The goal is to make the sessions more competitive and reduce the advantages gained by riders best placed under the current system.

The project is still being evaluated, so its details and final schedule have not been confirmed. However, the reform should affect how riders earn access to the decisive stages, with the aim of increasing track action and balance between teams.
