Road Racing World Championship season. The season consisted of 18 races for the MotoGP class and 17 for the 125cc and 250cc classes, beginning with the Qatar motorcycle Grand Prix on 10 March 2007 and ending with the Valencian Community motorcycle Grand Prix on 4 November. Season summary The 2007 season was significant as it introduced a new regulation which specifies that competitors in the MotoGP class were allowed use up to 800cc motorcycles; between 2002 and 2006, competitors had been allowed to use 990 cc motorcycles. While the 800cc motorcycles had less power than their 990cc counterparts, their ability to brake later and carry more speed through turns due to their lighter weight (which actually increased their power to weight ratio) allowed them to break lap records in pre-season testing.Pedrosa puts Honda on top, Hopkins hurt. https://web.archive.org/web/20070219000002/http://www.crash.net/news_View~t~Pedrosa-puts-Honda-on-top--Hopkins-hurt-~cid~6~id~143298.htm 2007-02-19 Crash.net, 2007-02-16. Casey Stoner won the MotoGP title, winning 10 of the 18 races to finish with a lead of 125 points over second placed Dani Pedrosa. Jorge Lorenzo won his second 250cc title, and Gábor Talmácsi won the 125cc title. Stoner had a breakthrough season on the Ducati, the team winning its first world title on the Grand Prix scene. It was also the first time since 1974 that the premiere category had not been won by a Japanese constructor. The new 800cc Ducati engine had a significant advantage over the other manufacturers in straight line speed but was tricky to ride through corners for Stoner's experienced teammate Loris Capirossi. Stoner was in strong contention early on but Valentino Rossi was very close for a long period of the season, before Stoner started to pull away at mid-season and sealed his title with several races to go, with Rossi's title challenge fading. Up to the end of 2006, speculation suggested that Honda would have the advantage of the new 800cc engines, as they could modify their existing engines easier than other manufacturers. In practice, Honda suffered the most from the regulation change, with only Dani Pedrosa and Marco Melandri making any impression on the leaders. Stoner scored a string of wins for Ducati, Suzuki saw Chris Vermeulen take their first win since the advent of four-stroke regulations and John Hopkins posted his first podium finish. The Kawasaki team also made progress with improved results. In addition to the capacity reduction, MotoGP teams were also restricted to 31 tires per race weekend per rider. This change seemed to have favored the Bridgestone's wider performance range over the more temperature- and track-specific Michelins.Noyes Dennis MOTOGP: MotoGP Boss Calls Current Tire Rules 'an Error' (Part II) SpeedTV.com 2007-08-28 http://www.speedtv.com/articles/moto/motogp/39796/ 2008-03-06 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120207164522/http://www.speedtv.com/articles/moto/motogp/39796/ February 7, 2012 Pressure from top riders and declining viewership led Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta to propose a single-tire manufacturer for MotoGP.Noyes Dennis MOTOGP: Dorna Pressures Bridgestone to Supply Rossi, or Else!

Any use of two-way radio voice communication is now prohibited. Technical regulations Originally in 2004, it was decided to reduce the engine capacity of all bikes from 990cc to 900cc from the 2007 season onwards in the MotoGP class. However, it was decided to instead limit it to 800cc instead in 2005. The minimum weights for the bikes has been changed for the MotoGP class. The weights are now as follows: For bikes with two cylinders or less, the minimum weight will be 133 kg. For bikes with three cylinders, the minimum weight will be 140,5 kg. For bikes with four cylinders, the minimum weight will be 148 kg. For bikes with five cylinders, the minimum weight will be 155, 5 kg. For bikes with six cylinders or more, the minimum weight will be 163 kg. The use of oval pistons will now be banned in the MotoGP class. From this year onwards, the use of two-stroke engines will now be banned in the MotoGP class. The fuel tank capacity for all bikes will be lowered from 22 to 21 litres in the MotoGP class. Changes have been made for the use of fuel, oil and other coolants. Unleaded petrol will comply with the FIM specifications if they have the following features: - Property Units Min. Max.

A wet tyre is specified as 'a tyre which has a land to sea ratio of at least 20% overall, and a minimum ratio of 7% in each third of the section profile'. The tyre can be shaped or hand cut, but each groove must have a minimum depth of at least three millimeters over 90% of its total length. Any tyre with a land to sea ratio which is lower than 20% will be marked as a slick tyre. If there is a dispute, the decision of the Technical Director will be considered final. Before the start of the season (defined as 'the day before the start of the first IRTA MotoGP test of the current year'), all teams must register the tyre brand they will be using with the Grand Prix Technical Director. If a team opts to change its designated tyre brand during the season, said team must inform the Technical Director via writing prior to the start before the start of examining at the event where the change will happen. Teams that are supplied by a tyre manufacturer that has accomplished at least two MotoGP race wins in dry conditions since the first race of the 2005 season will be restricted in the number of slick tyres that each of the teams' riders can use at a single event. The amount will be as follows: During all practice sessions, the warm-up and the race, a maximum of 31 slick tyres will be permitted. Of this, the amount of allowed front tyres are fourteen and the amount of allowed rear tyres are seventeen. When a tyre manufacturer who is not subject to the limitations at the beginning of the season manages to score two MotoGP wins in dry conditions during the current season, it will become subject to the restrictions at the third event after the one where the second win was accomplished. Between 12:00 and 17:00 on the day before the start of the first official practice session, the Technical Director will mark the available tyres for each entered rider. Every motorcycle entering the track fitted with either slick or hand cut tyres must have its tyres checked for compliance. In the event of an interrupted race, a rider must use tyres from his designation of marked tyres for the restarted race. In the unlikely event of a tyre being damaged accidentally during the process of fitting it on, it may be replaced with a new tyre of the same specification with the consent of the Technical Director. These replacement tyres will be marked and included in the assignment of the specific rider. If an uncommon or unpredictable safety concern emerges for a manufacturer during an even, causing a team supplied with its tyres to not safely compete in the race, then that manufacturer must inform and prove the seriousness of the problem to the Technical Director. The Technical Director may then ask the Race Direction to permit an exception. A request must be made before 17:00 on the day of qualifying practice. If an exception is allowed, each rider using tyres supplied by the manufacturer which is permitted the exception will be supplied with three tyres of a new specification (front and/or rear depending on the discovery of the problem). Such replacement tyres will be marked by the Technical Director and only these tyres can be used in the race. A new provisional starting grid will be published with all of the riders supplied with the tyres of the manufacturers granted the exception starting at the bottom of the grid in the order of their qualifying positions. 2007 Grand Prix season results Round Date Grand Prix Circuit 125cc winner 250cc winner MotoGP winner Report 1 10 March †† QAT Qatar motorcycle Grand Prix Losail ESP Héctor Faubel ESP Jorge Lorenzo AUS Casey Stoner Report 2 25 March ESP Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix Jerez HUN Gábor Talmácsi ESP Jorge Lorenzo ITA Valentino Rossi Report 3 22 April TUR Turkish motorcycle Grand Prix Istanbul ITA Simone Corsi ITA Andrea Dovizioso AUS Casey Stoner Report 4 6 May CHN Chinese motorcycle Grand Prix Shanghai CZE Lukáš Pešek ESP Jorge Lorenzo AUS Casey Stoner Report 5 20 May FRA French motorcycle Grand Prix Le Mans ESP Sergio Gadea ESP Jorge Lorenzo AUS Chris Vermeulen Report 6 27 May ITA Italian motorcycle Grand Prix Mugello ESP Héctor Faubel ESP Álvaro Bautista ITA Valentino Rossi Report 7 10 June Catalonia Catalan motorcycle Grand Prix Catalunya JPN Tomoyoshi Koyama ESP Jorge Lorenzo AUS Casey Stoner Report 8 24 June GBR British motorcycle Grand Prix Donington ITA Mattia Pasini ITA Andrea Dovizioso AUS Casey Stoner Report 9 30 June †† NLD Dutch TT Assen ITA Mattia Pasini ESP Jorge Lorenzo ITA Valentino Rossi Report 10 15 July DEU German motorcycle Grand Prix Sachsenring HUN Gábor Talmácsi JPN Hiroshi Aoyama ESP Dani Pedrosa Report 11 22 July † USA United States motorcycle Grand Prix Laguna Seca No 125cc and 250cc race AUS Casey Stoner Report 12 19 August CZE Czech Republic motorcycle Grand Prix Brno ESP Héctor Faubel ESP Jorge Lorenzo AUS Casey Stoner Report 13 2 September SMR San Marino and Rimini Riviera motorcycle Grand Prix Misano ITA Mattia Pasini ESP Jorge Lorenzo AUS Casey Stoner Report 14 16 September PRT Portuguese motorcycle Grand Prix Estoril ESP Héctor Faubel ESP Álvaro Bautista ITA Valentino Rossi Report 15 23 September JPN Japanese motorcycle Grand Prix Motegi ITA Mattia Pasini FIN Mika Kallio ITA Loris Capirossi Report 16 14 October AUS Australian motorcycle Grand Prix Phillip Island CZE Lukáš Pešek ESP Jorge Lorenzo AUS Casey Stoner Report 17 21 October MYS Malaysian motorcycle Grand Prix Sepang HUN Gábor Talmácsi JPN Hiroshi Aoyama AUS Casey Stoner Report 18 4 November Valencia Valencian Community motorcycle Grand Prix Valencia ESP Héctor Faubel FIN Mika Kallio ESP Dani Pedrosa Report † = MotoGP class only †† = Saturday Race Participants MotoGP participants TeamConstructorMotorcycleTyreNo. Bike numberRiderRoundsITA Ducati Marlboro TeamDucati Team (rd 11) Ducati Desmosedici GP7 Bridgestone 27 AUS Casey Stoner All 65 ITA Loris Capirossi AllITA Pramac d'Antin 4 BRA Alex Barros All 66 DEU Alex Hofmann 1–10, 13–14 57 GBR Chaz Davies 11, 16–18 22 ESP Iván Silva 12 72 JPN Shinichi Ito 15JPN Repsol Honda Team Honda RC212V Michelin 1 USA Nicky Hayden All 26 ESP Dani Pedrosa AllITA Honda Gresini Bridgestone 24 ESP Toni Elías 1–9, 12–18 84 ITA Michel Fabrizio 10 17 CAN Miguel Duhamel 11 33 ITA Marco Melandri All MCO Konica Minolta Honda Michelin 56 JPN Shinya Nakano All MCO Honda LCR 7 ESP Carlos Checa AllGBR Ilmor GP† Ilmor GP X3 Michelin 88 AUS Andrew Pitt 1 99 GBR Jeremy McWilliams 1JPN Kawasaki Racing Team Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR Bridgestone 14 FRA Randy de Puniet All 19 FRA Olivier Jacque 1–4, 6–7 11 ESP Fonsi Nieto 5 13 AUS Anthony West 8–18 95 USA Roger Lee Hayden 11 87 JPN Akira Yanagawa 15USA Team Roberts Team Roberts KR212V Michelin 10 USA Kenny Roberts Jr. 1–7 80 USA Kurtis Roberts 8–18 80 USA Kurtis Roberts 6–7JPN Rizla Suzuki MotoGP Suzuki GSV-R Bridgestone 21 USA John Hopkins All 71 AUS Chris Vermeulen All 64 JPN Kousuke Akiyoshi 2, 15 9 JPN Nobuatsu Aoki 17JPN Fiat Yamaha Team Yamaha YZR-M1 Michelin 5 USA Colin Edwards All 46 ITA Valentino Rossi AllFRA Dunlop Yamaha Tech 3 Dunlop 6 JPN Makoto Tamada All 50 FRA Sylvain Guintoli AllKey Regular rider Wildcard rider Replacement rider † Ilmor GP withdrew before Spanish race.
