After Sepang, only one more official test, at Buriram from February 12-13, will remain before the Thai season-opener starts on February 28.
Engine specification for Ducati, KTM and Aprilia will be frozen from the Thai GP until the end of 2026, to reduce development costs ahead of the new 850cc era in 2027.
Honda and Yamaha are currently free to continue engine development, due to their D concession ranking.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
