The CEO of Dorna has hinted at a timeline for BMW’s decision about whether to enღter MotoGP.

A change in the maꦍnagement structure of the famous manufacturer has increased the possibility 🐓that they could enter the world’s top two-wheel racing series.

MotoGP will introduce new technical regulations from 2027, which could level the playing field and offer the best possible time for newco🔯mers to immediately be competitive.

🔜“It’s one thi🌟ng for it to be possible, and another for it to be feasible,” Carmelo Ezpeleta said about BMW’s entry to .

“Obviously we have to wait for the new regulations which will 🔯be published soon.

“🙈I think we won’t have to wait more than a month, a month and a half, and then the manufacturers can consider the pos🤡sibilities.

“It would be important for other manufacturers to come in. And BMW is a very import♔ant manufacturer.”

BMW previou🅠sly knocked back the possibility of replacing Suzuki, wh𓆏o quit MotoGP.

But they have found success in WorldSBK, ꦍclaiming the𓄧ir first race since coming back as a factory team through Toprak Razgatlioglu this season.

But 𒐪it is the introduction of Markus Flasch as the new✱ boss at BMW Motorrad which has accelerated the possibility of entering MotoGP.

A racing enthusiast♚, he has publicly opened the door to an entry.

“2027 could be the perfect ti﷽me to get inv𒀰olved in MotoGP as this is when a new regulation will be introduced,” Flasch is quoted by .

"We are in contact with Dorna and we are t▨alking a🅺bout the regulations.

“It is part of our evaluation.

“The 2027 season would 🌞be an obvious time to sta🌳rt.

“Buꦓt that do𝐆es not pressure us to make a decision.”
