  "account": "The final Pirelli MotoGP test in Austria will take place on Monday, 22 June, at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg. This is the second and final Pirelli test of the season before the first pre-season test in Valencia on 1 December. Open to all MotoGP riders, the event will see race riders and test riders compete with the new Pirelli tyres, which will replace the current supplier in 2027. However, not all manufacturers have chosen to invite every rider. KTM has asked Pedro Acosta to test their 2027 bike, despite him racing for Ducati next season, while Yamaha and Aprilia have closed their slots to riders departing at the end of the year. Notable riders to participate include Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha), Jorge Martin (Aprilia), Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio (both Ducati), and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati). While some new faces will join the test, others like Honda's factory riders, Mir and Marini, have not been invited.",
  "summary": "The Red Bull Ring, venue for the Austrian GP this weekend, will extend its working schedule by one more day to host a Pirelli tyre test for MotoGP riders",
