2025 MOTOGP™ RACE FORMATS
MotoGP will undergo minimal changes for 2025 as it is largely preparing for the regulation switch in 2027.
However, some adjustments are still in the works. Tyre supplier Michelin is set to roll out a revised front tyre designed to handle the increased loads from aerodynamics and ride-height devices. This new tyre will also help address temperature and pressure sensitivity when closely trailing another bike.
