<\/p>\nThe upcoming Brno post-race test will offer the first chance for MotoGP race riders to try next year\u2019s 850cc prototypes and Pirelli tyres.<\/p>\n
According to AS.com, the behind-closed-doors test is \u2018limited to a maximum of two riders per factory, and Pirelli requires that at least one be a regular rider\u2019.<\/p>\n
That sounds like a simple enough task, and with next year\u2019s prototypes still in an early stage of development, it probably wouldn\u2019t be possible to have more than two bikes per manufacturer anyway.<\/p>\n

However, officially, only three riders present at Brno have confirmed contracts<\/a> to remain at their current manufacturer for 2027: Marco Bezzecchi <\/a>(Aprilia), Toprak Razgatlioglu<\/a> (Pramac Yamaha) and Diogo Moreira <\/a>(LCR Honda).<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Moreira\u2019s team-mate Johann Zarco also has a contract but is injured.<\/p>\n In reality, all the future factory team seats have been decided, with the silence on announcements pending completion of the next MSMA-MotoGP<\/a> SEG commercial deal.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, even adding ‘unofficial’ deals into the equation, rider choice for the Brno test is still limited.<\/p>\n The large number of 2027 seat-swaps means only two more names – reigning champion Marc Marquez<\/a> and fellow Ducati rider Fermin Aldeguer <\/a>– are added to the list of those staying with their present manufacturer.<\/p>\n Unless a factory is prepared to give the prized outing to a departing rider, that’s only five out of a possible ten race riders on track – although Aprilia, Yamaha, Honda and Ducati could at least meet the \u2018one race rider\u2019 request.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Maverick Vinales, 2026 Hungarian MotoGP.<\/p>\n \u00a9\u00a0Gold and Goose<\/p>\n KTM, expected to run an all-new factory line-up next season of Fabio di Giannantonio and Alex Marquez, faces a more complicated choice.<\/p>\n Of its present riders, Pedro Acosta is set to move to Ducati, with Tech3\u2019s Enea Bastianini heavily linked with Trackhouse Aprilia.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the futures of Brad Binder and Maverick Vinales remain unresolved. Which of the pair, if either, is selected for the Brno test could offer a clear hint about who remains in contention for 2027.<\/p>\n However, with test riders of the calibre of Pol Espargaro<\/a> and Dani Pedrosa<\/a>, Pirelli might well be content for the former MotoGP stars to represent the Austrian factory in Brno.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n The next Pirelli test with race riders is then expected to be held in September.<\/p>\n Subscribe to our MotoGP Newsletter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The upcoming Brno post-race test will offer the first chance for MotoGP race riders to try next year\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":727735,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[89838,64,63,352517,13844,3554,12370,15612,4280,40801,806,805,803,804,34524,85,23899],"class_list":["post-727734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-89838","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-autodrom-brno","tag-brad-binder","tag-diogo-moreira","tag-fermin-aldeguer","tag-johann-zarco","tag-marc-marquez","tag-maverick-vinales","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-pirelli","tag-sports","tag-toprak-razgatlioglu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/727734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=727734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/727734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/727735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=727734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=727734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=727734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Maverick](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gng_1323685_hires_1600x900.jpg\")
