It is known that in 2027, MotoGP will have new technical regulations that could considerably change the bikes. Pit Beirer, sports director of KTM, spoke about the subject and what can and should be done.
Speaking to the press, the Austrian told he is happy with the direction followed for the future regulations: ‘I feel that some very smart decisions have been made for the 2027 regulations. Maybe one or other idea we should even discuss if it would not make sense to make the changes earlier. But in general to take out a little bit of extreme technology which is influencing the riding style, the riding itself, we should take out a little bit to give the tool a bit more back to the rider – to decide when I brake, when I pass, how I manage the race, how I manage the front tyre’.
Regarding what could be in the pipeline for 2027, Beirer stated: ‘Looking for 2027, reducing the engine capacity, getting rid of ride height devices, limiting the aerodynamic size of the package – the wings and stuff – they are the right decisions for sure. I feel everybody is aware what’s going on and things are going in the right direction’.
The KTM director also appraised Dorna: ‘I think Dorna is also thinking heavily how to promote the sport even stronger, but we couldn’t have a better partner than Dorna promoting our sport. We really enjoy what we have in MotoGP, because we are also working with other promoters, we are in many different disciplines as a manufacturer, and clearly MotoGP is one step above everything else’.
