The new MotoGP regulations for 2027 focus mainly on the bikes, but there is also a rule not directly related to the machines: after each session, the GPS data of all riders will be available to everyone. Something that Jack Miller does not agree with.
According to the Australian from Red Bull KTM, this regulatory change goes against the very spirit of what motorcycle races are and part of their challenge:
– The only thing I didn’t like was that all GPS data will be available to everyone. I mean, at the end of the day it’s motorcycle racing and the whole idea is to have an advantage over your opponents and not tell them exactly where you are faster. It’s the guessing game of this, that’s what makes the sport beautiful.
Miller admitted that he does not understand how the rules regarding GPS data were agreed upon by the manufacturers: ‘I didn’t like that, I don’t understand how it passed through the manufacturers, but it did‘.
