MotoGP is exploring new ways to improve rider safety, including testing rider radios during a recent test day at Aragon. The goal is to enhance communication between race direction and the riders.
Alex Marquez, brad Binder, Lorenzo Savadori, and Johann Zarco were among those who tested the devices. The MotoGP rider radios aim to provide real-time safety details, perhaps preventing accidents and improving race management.

Savadori, who has previous experience with the device, offered a positive assessment. He noted improvements in clarity when receiving instructions in the pit box. However, he pointed out challenges in maintaining clear audio at high speeds due to helmet movement. The safety communication system uses bone conduction technology.
Marquez acknowledged the potential of the communication devices but emphasized the need for further refinement, notably during high-speed laps. He noted that clear communication is crucial, especially when riders are pushing their limits.
“For the first time race direction spoke with me, I listened well to the race direction in the box,” said Savadori. ”During the [time] when I used it on the bike, I listened but it’s not super clear at the moment – but every time [we run it]we improve the feeling.”
“It is not easy to understand at many points what they’re talking [about] or to hear very clearly, but you know, it was the first thing to try [today in testing]because next year it looks like [it will be] mandatory for safety and I was hoping to try it. I did one run and it was good,” marquez said.
What’s next
MotoGP plans to continue developing and refining the rider radio system based on feedback from these tests. the goal is to implement a reliable and effective communication system that enhances rider safety across all race conditions.
