Finally, MotoGP is about to adopt radio communications, a change many have been expecting, considering other racing series already use this feature.

MotoGP bikes reach impressive speeds of up to 350 km/h, and while pit stop panels are useful, glancing away to read messages can be tricky and distracting.

The introduction of radio communications aims to improve the exchange of information in critical situations during races. Starting in 2025, only the race director will have direct access to the riders via radios, with two-way communication being considered for 2026.

This change will allow riders and teams to communicate directly, which could enhance live broadcasts’ entertainment value. This follows the example of Formula 1, where radio communication has already become a regular part of broadcasts.
