Pirelli to replace Michelin as Motogp’s tire supplier in 2027

After the current deal of Michelin ends, Pirelli will become the official tire manufacturer of Motogi from 2027 to 2031.

It is a logical move for the Italian brand, supplying its rubber to the Moto2 and Moto3 series since last year, as well as the World Superbike Championship in a long -term partnership started in 2004.

After providing a tire to the Formula 1 World Championship since 2011, but beyond 2024, it decided not to pursue its participation in the World Rally Championships, Pirelli now adds another big competition to her portfolio, as well as the Moto series.

This announcement comes to some extent as a surprise, as Michelin-which has been the only provider of Motogp tires since 2016-started working on novel compounds before the new-2027 technical rules.

Nevertheless, the last decade has been frightened by criticism of riders and teams, targeting the manufacturer from Cleeramont-Frand.

It has been a regular theme, especially over the last few years, Honda with Michelin and Auds with Aprilia respectively, Markage’s high-toed and pre-season test at the 2022 Indonesian Grand Prix has left the inconceivable champion in the pre-season test in the pre-season tests in Sepang, which is left unlit to participate in the first two tours. Martin also partially convicted the defeat of his 2023 title on the tire, which he understood for not working properly.

This is the second major series that Michelin has left in recent years, which has been replaced by Hankuk for the Formula E K Jane 3, which began in late 2022. However, the French brand still supplies its rubber to all contestants in the Hypercar class of the World Dheeraj Championship with the IMSA Sportscar Championship.
