Pirelli replaces Michelin as MotoGP's tyre supplier from 2027
Formula One's sole tyre supplier Pirelli will become the official tyre supplier to MotoGP from the 2027 onwards, the premier class of motorcycle racing has announced.
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.
A new agreement is being finalised that will see Pirelli become single tyre supplier for the MotoGP, Moto2 & Moto3 categories, as the Italian tyre company is set to expand their presence into the MotoGP class.
MotoGP elected to have a single supplier in the paddock as it hopes that it "will provide the perfect development ladder for the champions of tomorrow to hone their craft on their way to the top. Further details on the tyre allocations and specifications to be supplied by Pirelli will be announced soon."
Pirelli currently supply Moto2, Moto3 and much of the Road to MotoGP. Now, their presence in the sport will expand to the pinnacle of racing, MotoGP, and into MotoE, the electric World Championship.
French manufacturer Michelin will remain the exclusive supplier for MotoGP and MotoE until the end of the current technical regulations, at the close of the 2026 season.
