After Sepang, just one extra official check, at Buriram from February 12-13, will stay earlier than the Thai season-opener begins on February 28.
Engine specification for Ducati, KTM and Aprilia will probably be frozen from the Thai GP till the top of 2026, to scale back improvement prices forward of the brand new 850cc period in 2027.
Honda and Yamaha are at present free to proceed engine improvement, resulting from their D concession rating.
