The entrance of BMW in the MotoGP World Championship This is something that has been around for a long time. Rumors and various news coming out indicated that the most credible option is to enter 2027, the year in which the radical change in regulations is implemented with less powerful motorcycles and more reduced aerodynamics .
However, and despite that fact suzuki He left a vacant post two years ago, MotoGP confirms that it is not part of its plans to go from the current 22 riders to 24 that he was with the Japanese on the grid two seasons ago.
In an interview for the German portal Speedweek, Carlos Ezpeleta, MotoGP sports director, He explained that Suzuki’s seats were no longer reserved for another independent project coming in.
“In the end, what matters to us is the quality of the eleven teams. Also, five or six manufacturers provide them. But it’s no secret that our priority at the moment is five manufacturers,” he commented. So far the five manufacturers are Yamaha, Honda, Ducati, Aprilia and KTM. “That doesn’t mean we want to prevent a sixth manufacturer from entering, but it does mean it has to work with one of the eleven teams“.
Therefore, BMW has two options left to enter the championship if the project convinces them in the end. As Ezpeleta said, he will have to negotiate with a private team like he did Aprilia with Gresini in 2015. He is with the Italians until the 2021 season.
Another possible scenario is that at some point one of the five current manufacturers decides to leave the championship and leave the space open for the Germans to enter their own structure.
