Giacomo Agostini, the 15-time world champion, welcomed MotoGP's 2027 technical overhaul that removes ride-height devices, tightens aerodynamic wing limits and cuts engine capacity from 1000cc to 850cc.
Agostini told Moto.it he has long pushed for such changes because modern MotoGP relies too much on technology and he expects the new rules to shift results more toward rider skill.
He said smaller wings and lower power should reduce downforce, tyre and brake stress, allowing riders to push harder from the start rather than managing tyres to the finish.
Agostini added that "wings belong on planes" and noted in discussion with Brembo that brakes are already at their limit, while the public may not notice the 850cc change but racing dynamics should improve.
