Great, but it's a pity he was so premature with the whole Aprilia saga. Any updates on that front? :unsure:

I don't think anything concrete at the moment. Hoepfully if he has a good couple of upcoming races, along with Bez' recent form, it could convince him to stay. I still think it would be a better option than Honda but maybe he knows something about the 2027 spec bikes and the new regs that we don't.
 
If you're Aprilia do you even want to keep him after him / his team have been saying what they have? Bez / Ogura have shown that bike is quick and to be honest there is no shortage of talent on the grid

Some changes on the horizon for Moto3 - hope it keeps the close racing we've all come to love


tl/dr: moving from 60 to 80 bhp, double the current displacement and reduction in overall cost for teams

I'd like to think that a relatively small increase in performance won't result in a drastic reduction in the action. But yeah, if the changes move the action closer to what we see in Moto2, that will be a great shame.
 
Moto2 as one-make motor and open chassis has generally been pretty dull from the start and a lot of that is because of the too close match in capabilities. And MM93, maybe Zarco aside, everyone has struggled with the huge jump to MotoGP.

It would be real shame if Moto3 became dull and drawn out, but I like the idea of this better engine and even more so with multiple suppliers. 250 2 stroke was some of the most spectacular racing with incredible corner speeds.

It will almost certainly stretch the field out.

I recall this discussion coming up a couple of years ago, with riders complaining that the low power Moto3 machines made it easy for younger, inexperienced riders to sit with the pack and cause problems, while the better, more experienced riders found it difficult to break the slipstream and get away from the pack.

More power will demand a little more talent, with experience also coming through. Good riders will thus likely be able to get away from the pack while younger hot shots won't be coming through the pack like wrecking balls.
