Until the end of 2026 MotoGP will remain as before. Amidst a campaign of rumors about a premature farewell to Marc Márquez from Honda to switch to KTMthe factory that is betting the most on him, Dorna spoke loud and clear about those two places he has held since Suzuki’s surprise: they are for a new manufacturer and not for a new team that has -link to current factories.
The same thing happens with technical issues, the MotoGP regulations will not be changed until the end of 2026 due to the agreement signed by the promoter Dorna, the FIM and the manufacturers to have stability in costs. But in the current five years, some points susceptible to retouching are being discussed.
One of them was aerodynamics which with these MotoGP holiday dates is once again the subject of intense debate. The last to join the opposition is the two-time MotoGP champion Casey Stoner that at the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed he was blunt: “All that shit has to go, bikes without wings, no holeshot, no anti-wheelie control, traction control reduced to a minimum… costs need to come down and standards need to last ten years for the worst performing manufacturers to catch up.
If since Gigi Dall’Igna took charge of Ducati there has been an escalation in aerodynamic evolutions, the next step in ‘and you more’ is the adaptation of solutions from F1 to MotoGP. Synergies embrace managers and technicians with a background in four wheels. And we mustn’t forget that Honda not only has one foot in both worlds, but since this year they’ve been twins at HRC.
For this 2023 the MotoGP regulations have been readapted the aerodynamic section with appendages of the lower part attached to the swingarm is from a height of 15mm from the ground to the current 35mm.
Another invention adapted by Dall’Igna from 2019, the ‘holeshot’ at the beginning of this campaign has also been retouched allegedly in this case the increase in development costs. The front holeshot is preserved for the moment of exit to accelerate at the start, but dynamic forward movement is prohibited. For now, the dynamic rear is still in effect, but the months may also be numbered.
