Ducati, Aprilia, Honda and KTM tested their 2027-spec 850cc MotoGP prototypes at Mugello over two days. Ducati's Nicolo Bulega set the fastest time on day two, a 1:45.859 that came within about two seconds of Marco Bezzecchi's current MotoGP pole (1:43.921). The next test is scheduled for Misano.

1:45.859, under two seconds off pole? That genuinely surprised me. From what I remember riding, dropping displacement always blunts your drive off the corner. Posting that number on baked August tarmac tells me the 850s are going to be won on mid-corner speed and braking, not top end. Can't wait to see how they behave through Misano's slower stuff.

What did you think?

Every displacement change, predictions of it being slower miss

Under two seconds off pole is faster than I expected

Depends a lot on fuel load and conditions during testing though
