French company Michelin, the sole supplier for the premier category since 2016, has been replaced by Pirelli as the tyre supplier.

In a significant shift for the MotoGP championship, Italian tyre manufacturer Pirelli will take over as the series’ sole tyre supplier from 2027, ending Michelin’s decade-long tenure in the premier class. The announcement comes as MotoGP prepares for major technical regulation changes, including a switch from 1000cc to 850cc engines aimed at improving rider safety and reducing lap times.

Pirelli’s move to MotoGP has been anticipated for some time, particularly after the company secured the contract to supply tyres for Moto2 and Moto3 starting in 2024, replacing Dunlop. The 2027 season marks the ideal timing for Pirelli’s entry into MotoGP, aligning with the introduction of new technical regulations and a fresh era for the sport.

The 2027 season will see significant changes to MotoGP’s technical regulations, with the premier class transitioning to 850cc engines. This shift is designed to enhance rider safety and create more competitive racing. Pirelli’s five-year contract, running until 2031, will coincide with this new chapter in MotoGP’s history.

In a press statement, Dorna, the series organizer, confirmed the partnership: “Pirelli will become the official tyre supplier to MotoGP from 2027. A new five-year contract until 2031 inclusive, currently being finalised, will coincide with a new era for the sport as new MotoGP bikes and technical regulations debut in 2027. The strategy of having a single supplier in the paddock will provide the perfect development ladder for the champions of tomorrow to hone their craft on their way to the top.” Dorna also noted that further details on tyre allocations and specifications will be announced soon.

Pirelli’s appointment as MotoGP’s sole tyre supplier further solidifies its position as a leading force in motorsport. The company is already the exclusive tyre supplier for Formula 1, a role it has held since 2011. While Pirelli’s involvement in both F1 and MotoGP highlights its expertise in high-performance tyre manufacturing, the company has clarified that its plans for the two series are not connected. 

The timing of Pirelli’s MotoGP entry is notable, as it coincides with Liberty Media’s efforts to finalize its acquisition of Dorna Sports, the commercial rights holder of MotoGP. However, Pirelli’s role in MotoGP is independent of Liberty Media’s ownership of F1.

Michelin’s departure from MotoGP marks the end of a successful 10-year partnership with the series. The French manufacturer has been instrumental in developing tyres that have withstood the demands of modern MotoGP racing, contributing to thrilling battles and record-breaking performances.

As Pirelli prepares to take the reins, the focus will be on how its tyres adapt to the new 850cc engines and the evolving technical landscape of MotoGP. With its proven track record in both two-wheeled and four-wheeled motorsport, Pirelli is well-positioned to meet the challenges ahead and support the next generation of MotoGP champions.

The 2027 season promises to be a landmark year for MotoGP, with new technical regulations, a new tyre supplier, and a renewed focus on safety and competition. Fans and teams alike will be eagerly anticipating the debut of Pirelli’s tyres and the exciting changes they will bring to the sport.
