Overview

• Test riders from all five manufacturers—Augusto Fernandez (Yamaha), Dani Pedrosa (KTM), Takaaki Nakagami (Honda), Lorenzo Savadori (Aprilia) and Michele Pirro (Ducati)—took part in a closed Misano session using one bike per team.
• Pirelli reported the most appreciated traits as grip, warm-up speed and rider confidence, noting a positive first readout with no lap times disclosed.
• To approximate the 2027 ruleset, teams ran current 1000cc prototypes with ride-height devices deactivated and, in some cases, reduced power and revised aerodynamics.
• Each team evaluated seven sets in 17-inch sizes—two front variants and three rear options—and the run plan included a sprint race simulation.
• A follow-up test is scheduled immediately after the Valencia post-season test in mid-November, with manufacturers using these tyre findings to inform 2027 chassis work.
