Grid changes and injury testing: Learn about the new MotoGP rules, which have immediate effect

The FIM Grand Prix Commission has introduced a set of regulation changes, now in effect across all classes of the World Championship, following meetings held in March and April 2025.

One of the main updates applies to all riders who leave the starting grid before a race. From now on, regardless of whether the reason is technical or weather-related (e.g. tyre changes), any rider who exits the grid must begin the warm-up lap from pit lane, return to their original grid position, and serve a standard double long lap penalty. This also applies to riders who do not go to the grid at all. Under existing rules, missing the warm-up lap still results in starting the race from pit lane.

In the MotoGP class, where riders have two machines, bike changes are allowed under these conditions. The current time penalty for starting from pit lane remains unchanged, as does the maximum of ten riders allowed to start a race from pit lane — a limit that does not apply to the warm-up lap.

The Commission stated that it is not possible to objectively distinguish whether a rider leaves the grid due to a technical issue or a strategic tyre switch. Hence, the uniform penalty aims to simplify the regulations, maintain fairness, and provide clarity for fans and teams alike.

Another major change affects injured MotoGP riders. Those who have missed three or more consecutive events, or have been absent from competition for at least 45 consecutive days, are now eligible to complete a single test with a MotoGP machine to aid physical preparation. This is optional and exclusive to the premier class.

The test must take place at a track approved by the manufacturer or on a circuit where no further MotoGP races will occur within the following eight weeks. Tyre use is limited to three sets, which count toward the manufacturer’s testing allocation.

In addition, all manufacturers have agreed not to test 2027-specification motorcycles until 17 November 2025, ensuring an even playing field during the current development phase.

Finally, Moto2 and Moto3 classes will now impose limits on wildcard entries. Each rider is allowed a maximum of three wildcard appearances per season, and each team may also field no more than three wildcards per year. This aims to encourage riders seeking regular competition to pursue full-time grid positions rather than relying on multiple wildcard entries.
