There are some riders who are changing brands who have also been able to get 850cc laps in: Luca Marini and Joan Mir for Honda, and Pedro Acosta for KTM.<\/p>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp 1920w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=1800&amp;format=webp 1800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=1600&amp;format=webp 1600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=1500&amp;format=webp 1500w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=1200&amp;format=webp 1200w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=900&amp;format=webp 900w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=800&amp;format=webp 800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=600&amp;format=webp 600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=400&amp;format=webp 400w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 710px, (min-width:768px) 62vw, 97vw\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><figcaption>\n<div>Ducati 850cc prototype, 2026 Red Bull Ring MotoGP.<\/div>\n<div class=\"source\"> \u00a9\u00a0Gold and Goose<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Nicolo Bulega has also been able to gain 850cc mileage during this year, riding as Ducati\u2019s official test rider in a number of private tests since the spring.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of the 2027 race riders, Bulega will have more experience of the package he will ride next season than anyone else, but the other riders who have tested the 850cc machines also have much more experience of next year\u2019s bikes than riders like Enea Bastianini, who will move from Tech3 KTM to Trackhouse Aprilia and will not ride an 850cc bike until the post-season test in Valencia next month.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bastianini\u2019s case is repeated several times over across the grid: Jorge Martin, Ai Ogura, Francesco Bagnaia, Alex Marquez, and Fabio Di Giannantonio being some of the other names who have not ridden in the official tests held during the 2027 season.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It means that, going into next February\u2019s Sepang test, riders like Bastianini will have completed only one day of running on their 2027 bike, whereas others will have had several. The most extreme case is Bulega, who, as a rookie, will also be able to take part in the Sepang Shakedown in advance of the official Sepang test.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bastianini is pushing for MotoGP to change the rules for the Shakedown test to allow riders who are changing brands to be able to ride at Sepang during those two days in order to make up for the comparative lack of track time they\u2019ve had with next year\u2019s bikes in 2026.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp 1920w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=1800&amp;format=webp 1800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=1600&amp;format=webp 1600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=1500&amp;format=webp 1500w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=1200&amp;format=webp 1200w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=900&amp;format=webp 900w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=800&amp;format=webp 800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=600&amp;format=webp 600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=400&amp;format=webp 400w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 710px, (min-width:768px) 62vw, 97vw\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><figcaption>\n<div>Enea Bastianini speaks to the media at 2026 MotoGP Malaysian Grand Prix.

considers \u201cnot fair\u201d at the moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">KTM rider Enea Bastianini is continuing to push for a change to MotoGP\u2019s test rules for next season.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">2027 will see MotoGP introduce its new 850cc bikes, but some riders are set to start the season with much more experience of the new machines \u2013 which also have different aerodynamics, new tyres from Pirelli, and are free of ride height devices \u2013 than others.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ducati, for example, has had both Marc Marquez and Fermin Aldeguer riding its 850cc Desmosedici at the official tests that have been run this year at Brno and the Red Bull Ring; Toprak Razgatlioglu has ridden the Yamaha; both Marco Bezzecchi and Raul Fernandez have been able to sample the new Aprilia; and Diogo Moreira has had laps on Honda\u2019s 850.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">All of these riders are staying with the same manufacturer next season. There are some riders who are changing brands who have also been able to get 850cc laps in: Luca Marini and Joan Mir for Honda, and Pedro Acosta for KTM.<\/p>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp 1920w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=1800&amp;format=webp 1800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=1600&amp;format=webp 1600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=1500&amp;format=webp 1500w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=1200&amp;format=webp 1200w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=900&amp;format=webp 900w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=800&amp;format=webp 800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=600&amp;format=webp 600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-09\/gng_1347311_hires_1600x900.jpg?width=400&amp;format=webp 400w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 710px, (min-width:768px) 62vw, 97vw\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><figcaption>\n<div>Ducati 850cc prototype, 2026 Red Bull Ring MotoGP.<\/div>\n<div class=\"source\"> \u00a9\u00a0Gold and Goose<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Nicolo Bulega has also been able to gain 850cc mileage during this year, riding as Ducati\u2019s official test rider in a number of private tests since the spring.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of the 2027 race riders, Bulega will have more experience of the package he will ride next season than anyone else, but the other riders who have tested the 850cc machines also have much more experience of next year\u2019s bikes than riders like Enea Bastianini, who will move from Tech3 KTM to Trackhouse Aprilia and will not ride an 850cc bike until the post-season test in Valencia next month.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bastianini\u2019s case is repeated several times over across the grid: Jorge Martin, Ai Ogura, Francesco Bagnaia, Alex Marquez, and Fabio Di Giannantonio being some of the other names who have not ridden in the official tests held during the 2027 season.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It means that, going into next February\u2019s Sepang test, riders like Bastianini will have completed only one day of running on their 2027 bike, whereas others will have had several. The most extreme case is Bulega, who, as a rookie, will also be able to take part in the Sepang Shakedown in advance of the official Sepang test.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bastianini is pushing for MotoGP to change the rules for the Shakedown test to allow riders who are changing brands to be able to ride at Sepang during those two days in order to make up for the comparative lack of track time they\u2019ve had with next year\u2019s bikes in 2026.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp 1920w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=1800&amp;format=webp 1800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=1600&amp;format=webp 1600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=1500&amp;format=webp 1500w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=1200&amp;format=webp 1200w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=900&amp;format=webp 900w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=800&amp;format=webp 800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=600&amp;format=webp 600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-10\/gng_1357576_hires.jpg?width=400&amp;format=webp 400w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 710px, (min-width:768px) 62vw, 97vw\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><figcaption>\n<div>Enea Bastianini speaks to the media at 2026 MotoGP Malaysian Grand Prix.
