Yamaha has reportedly been confirmed as the exclusive manufacturer supplying machinery for the Moto3 class from 2028 through 2033. The junior GP class will transition into a new era built around CP2-based engines. It's a major structural shift entrusting the entry-level category's equipment to a single manufacturer, with implications for cost and talent development drawing attention.

Yamaha handling all of Moto3 from 2028, and exclusively through 2033 — this is huge news that changes the landscape of young-rider development. The junior class shifting to a CP2 base is interesting too. Single-manufacturer supply is divisive, but on the cost side, it opens the door wider for young riders. Thinking that the next era's champion grows up on a Yamaha machine genuinely gets me excited.

If it lowers costs and brings in more entrant teams, growing the base of young riders is a good outcome either way.

Is 'CP2-based' the same lineage as the CP2 engine in the regular production bikes?

It's probably based on the parallel-twin CP2 tech used in bikes like the MT-07.

Switching from KTM-exclusive to Yamaha-exclusive is quietly a real shift in the balance of power.

When the feeder-class machinery gets unified under one manufacturer, talent gets judged more by rider skill than engine, which seems like a good thing.

Six years exclusive supply from 2028 to 2033 - isn't that a bit long? Single-supplier's good for cost but doesn't that kill competition?

For Moto3, previously a KTM single-make series, to switch like this, they must have built up serious CP2 durability data.
