Valencia test to open to public with new 2027 MotoGP bikes

The first group test of the 2027 MotoGP season will take place at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia on 1 December, the Tuesday after the Valencian Community Grand Prix. Tickets are on sale, with general admission at 10 euros, a grandstand overlooking the pits at 15 euros, and free entry for children up to 14. The test runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time.

The main technical focus will be the new 850 cc MotoGP bikes, which replace the current 1000s. The 2027 regulations bring reduced aerodynamics, the removal of ride-height devices and a switch from Michelin to Pirelli tyres, forcing riders and engineers to rethink much of their existing setup.

The rider market reshuffle will also be on display. Pecco Bagnaia makes his debut on the Aprilia alongside Marco Bezzecchi, while Pedro Acosta joins Marc Marquez at Ducati after leaving KTM. Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio move to the KTM factory team, and Fabio Quartararo joins HRC after leaving Yamaha.
