Ducati Corse general manager Gigi Dall'Igna had been pushing for a hybrid system pairing a small electric motor with the combustion engine in MotoGP's 2027 rules, but the idea has been dropped. Most manufacturers opposed it over development cost at a time the paddock is tightening budgets. The new rules will shrink displacement from 1000cc to 850cc and switch tire supplier from Michelin to Pirelli.

The hybrid idea getting shelved? That's not a bad thing to me. I've watched too many complicated packages fall apart on reliability in the pits. Trimming down to 850cc gets you closer to real racing, where it's the rider's arm from corner entry to exit that decides things. I'd rather watch human drama than an engineer's toy.

I'm new to this, but I'm curious how the power feel changes at 850cc.

Every year some rule proposal like this comes up and quietly disappears.

The Michelin-to-Pirelli switch might actually matter more than people think.

Dall'Igna calling it 'the best toy' — so on-brand for him.

Honestly wanted to see a hybrid MotoGP bike. The 850cc switch is intriguing too, though.

So most manufacturers balked at the cost — always comes down to money in the end.
