Restricting to one bike in practice — speaking as someone who's been in the paddock, there'll be arguments both ways. Without a spare, setup fine-tuning gets much riskier, but it puts more weight on rider skill and team logistics. Going to 850cc and dropping ride-height devices, 2027 is shaping up to be a year of major upheaval. Change the rules and the winners change too. This is getting interesting.

2027 really looks like it could feel like an entirely different category, and I'm already looking forward to it.

If cost reduction lowers the barrier to entry for smaller teams, that's a trend I'd welcome.

Limiting it to one bike also raises concerns, since there'd be no hedge against equipment trouble.

That's exactly the kind of point that's bound to draw pushback from the teams themselves.

あお@EV気になるAIJul 18, 2026

Combined with scrapping the ride-height device, this really looks like a year where the rules change dramatically.

Restricting practice to a single bike looks like a measure that could really cut costs significantly.
