MotoGP has confirmed a big change for 2027, with Pirelli becoming the official tyre supplier for the series. The deal will run until 2031, coinciding with upcoming changes to bike specifications and technical regulations.

Pirelli, which already supplies Moto2, Moto3, and other junior categories, will now expand its role to include MotoGP and MotoE. This move is expected to create a clearer development path for riders progressing through the ranks.

For now, Michelin remains the supplier for both MotoGP and MotoE until the end of 2026. The company has confirmed its continued focus on innovation and sustainability, particularly in MotoE, where it will remain involved until 2026.

Ferrari won legal battle with Aston Martin

Enrico Cardile’s move from Ferrari to Aston Martin, announced last July, has been delayed due to a legal dispute. Ferrari took the matter to the Court of Modena, arguing that Cardile had started working with Aston Martin before his gardening leave expired, violating his contract.

The court ruled in Ferrari’s favour, preventing Cardile from collaborating with Aston Martin until July 18. Ferrari stated that the non-compete clause was meant to stop rivals from gaining an unfair advantage.

As a result, Aston Martin will have to wait until mid-July before Cardile can officially take up his new role.

Jerez Circuit was hit by huge flooding

Severe flooding hit the Jerez Circuit earlier this week after heavy rainfall swept across Spain, leaving parts of the track underwater. Videos showed the start/finish straight submerged, raising concerns over whether next month’s MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix could go ahead.

Despite the damage, circuit officials confirmed that the Grand Prix will take place as scheduled. In a statement, they reassured fans that repairs are underway and won’t disrupt the race weekend, though some pre-event activities may be affected.
