There is good news for MotoGP, with a big manufacturer that is interested in making its debut in the future. That’s who it is.
The MotoGP spectacle returns to the track this weekend, with the French Grand Prix on the Le Mans track. Everyone is chasing world leader Jorge Martinwhich maintains a 17-point lead over Pecco Bagnaiawho redeemed himself after a complex period with the victory in Jerez de la Frontera.
The news of the week, however, is linked to the announcement of the new regulations, which in 2027 will give rise to a total revolution. 850 cc engines, cutting aerodynamics and stopping lowering are the items to be circled in red, with MotoGP which, thanks to the new rules, could also attract a new home. Let’s find out what it is.
MotoGP, BMW is seriously interested
Some time ago there was talk of a possible entry of a new manufacturer into MotoGP, and now the rumors seem confirmed. We are talking about BMW, which is doing so well in Superbikewith Toprak Razgatlioglu just 6 points in the world championship from Ducati Of Alvaro Bautistaa tandem that last year was unattainable for the Munich manufacturer.
Markus Flesh, the CEO of the Motorrad department, took office in November last year, and immediately showed himself to be very interested in motorsport. In his opinion, the new regulations could be the perfect opportunity to enter MotoGP, since everyone will be starting almost from scratch. During an interview given to “Speedweek.com“, gave guarantees in this sense.
Here are his words: “When everyone starts from scratch, it’s the right time to think about an entry. But until then, we need to be successful at what we already do. For me there is no way to get promoted without winning first. I told the team right from the start, we have to win the Superbike world championship, we will only decide if we are successful there. This will do the difference“.
In essence, BMW will only reach the top class after winning the Superbike, although Flesh said that in the meantime, preparation for the premier class could already begin. After the farewell of Suzuki, the MotoGP championship found itself without an important manufacturer, and a giant like BMW could seriously aim high. The next few months and the results among the series derivatives will be decisive.
