While the 2027 tires are being tested behind closed doors in Brno, various confirmations regarding the movements of the drivers are awaited after the agreement between Case and Circus. And also the renewals, including the imminent one for Marc Marquez with the red one
Today we’re back on track, in Brno. In a somewhat carbonaro way, to be honest. Because Pirelli’s tests with the new 850 cc bikes, the prototypes that we will see in the 2027 MotoGP, are strictly behind closed doors. Already yesterday evening in Brno the paddock was completely dismantled. Today is entirely “technical”, a series of tests commissioned by the new Italian tire manufacturer which will replace Michelin as the sole supplier from next season. So no chance to see, no images. Then, who knows, maybe some time, passed from voice to voice from a friend’s friend, it will also arrive. For what it’s worth.

Two things matter much more. The first: Marco Bezzecchi, by getting back on his motorbike, will be able to start leaving behind the nightmares of the 2026 Czech Republic GP, the sleepless nights, the feelings of guilt, the remorse, the anger at not having been able to race, the regret for the many points lost in the standings. Knowing him, it’s certain that whizzing away on his new Aprilia will be the best way to refuel. The other very relevant fact of the day were the exclusions, which left more than one mouth turned up. The drivers who will not be reconfirmed in the companies for which they race are not on the track today. With the whistle that the teams allowed them to experiment with a bike that will become their opponent in a few months. So Pecco Bagnaia with the Ducati is not riding in Brno, nor Fabio Quartararo with the Yamaha, Jorge Martin with the Aprilia, Pedro Acosta with the KTM, nor Fabio Di Giannantonio with the yellow VR46 Ducati. In practice, not one donkey falls, half a dozen do. All the Pulcinella secrets that the teams have pretended to keep in recent months are revealed. This is why last Thursday, at the opening of the Brno GP, the agreement between the manufacturers’ association and MotoGP was made official. Today we went on track with the 2027 bikes: how could it be possible to argue that there were not yet the conditions to make the 2027 season official?

And then, once it is said that there is an agreement, even without specifying the terms, except with a series of rather vague formulas, the market is triggered. Finally. At the right time the “free all” arrived for the press releases of the unprecedented dominoes that will define the grid for next season. Because it’s true that we’ve known everything for months now, but the extent of what will be put down in black and white in the next few hours is sensational. There is Pedro Acosta who will arrive at Ducati, destined to become the national team of the Red Furies of Spain. There’s Pecco Bagnaia who moves from Borgo Panigale to Noale: next year he will wear black, thanks to a four-year contract with Aprilia. And again Jorge Martin who from the same Italian company will end up in Yamaha. Where does Quartararo go from here, destined for Honda. And again Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio at KTM.

Without forgetting the renewals, perhaps obvious, but not of little importance. Above all that of Marc Márquez, who will most likely be the first card to be placed in the next few hours. Perhaps, or rather probably, already tomorrow, Tuesday 23rd. And then a whole series of other arrivals, also from other championships: particularly interesting and fascinating, also as a sporting and human story, that of Nicolò Bulega, returning to the MotoGP paddock, which he left rather sadly a few years ago. Now Nico returns to glory, thanks to an amazing streak of consecutive victories in Superbike, right in the team he started with, that of Valentino Rossi. Then, in 2016, with Sky’s light blue, white and blue livery in Moto3; now with the fluorescent yellow of the VR46.
