MotoGP riders have fiercely criticized a newly proposed regulation that would limit teams to just one bike per rider starting in the 2027 season.
The grid completely slammed the cost-cutting idea, labeling it a highly dangerous and counterproductive move for the pinnacle of motorcycle racing.
Riders argued that removing the second bike would severely disrupt practice sessions during crashes and make wet-weather flag-to-flag bike swaps practically impossible.
Many expressed deep safety concerns, pointing out that rushed repairs on a single chassis under immense time pressure could easily lead to mechanical failures on track.
The overwhelming consensus across the paddock urges championship organizers to completely abandon the single-bike concept and find safer, alternative ways to reduce team expenses.
