Overview

• Five factory test riders—Lorenzo Savadori, Michele Pirro, Takaaki Nakagami, Dani Pedrosa and Augusto Fernandez—evaluated the new rubber in a full-day program that included a sprint simulation.
• Teams ran current 1000cc machines with ride-height devices disabled, reduced power and revised aerodynamics to approximate the expected 2027 configuration.
• Pirelli supplied seven sets per team in the current 17-inch sizes, with two front specifications and three rears to enable back-to-back comparisons.
• Pirelli reported encouraging first feedback, citing strong grip, quick warm-up and rider confidence, and said the session yielded extensive data for continued development.
• A follow-up test is slated for Valencia after the post-season session in mid-November, as Pirelli remains supplier for Moto2 and Moto3 in 2027 and Michelin takes over WorldSBK.
