The current regulations for the MotoGP World Championship are in effect until the end of the 2026 season, meaning that while the development of motorcycles is possible, there will likely be no major revolutions. Roland Berger, the director of the FIM technical commission, foresees a convergence in the coming years, despite Ferrari’s recent superiority.
Berger stated to SPEEDWEEK.com: ‘It has always happened that a manufacturer comes up with a stroke of genius here and there. Then, it took two or three years for the opponents to catch up’.
In Berger’s view, KTM stood out in the progress made among the pursuers of Ducati: ‘Ducati was clear: 87 victories in MotoGP, 14 of them by customer teams in recent years, but the biggest leap in 2023 was made by KTM. It just wasn’t enough’.
According to the Austrian, there will be a convergence in performance: ‘The closer the leaders get – and they will – the more interesting the races will become. After all, the Japanese won’t be as «fast» as they were last year for much longer’, he said.
