MotoGP is considering the introduction of a helmet radio system to provide riders with messages from Race Di🐻rection, while on track.

A prototype waไs evalua𒁏ted by Repsol Honda's Stefan Bradl during Friday practice at Misano.

The helmet radio has been proposed&n⛎bsp;to solve instances of trackside yellow flags and/or dashboard messages being missed by the riders.

"Dorna came to me and wanted to try something with radio connection to the rider," Bradl expla🎃ined. "For example, some crash happened, and when you are all in a group it’s difficult to sometimes see yellow or red𝕴 flags. We were talking about this in the Safety Commission.

"With the radio, Race Direction can giveဣ us some warning in🤪 case something happened. The system was working good. It was the first step in terms of safety, but it can be a big step for us.

"I got some messages like ‘Warning’ or ‘Yellow flag’. The voice I had in my ear was fine. I could hear it very well. It was not dangerous or distracting me. From tha♓t point of view they are ma﷽king a good job.

"But we have to find better solutions because we are moving a lot more with the head c♌ompared to F1 drivers.

"Also the noise is sometimes different. If you are inside 🌸the windscreen and go out it changes a lot with the wind. We need to find better connections going into the ea𒊎r, covering the noise.

"We already have som♒e ideas so we can move forward quickly to introduce this syste🦩m quickly in the future. "

While the radio would initially be used to pass on instructions from Rac👍e Direction, MotoGP sporting director Carlos Ezpeleta admitted that the system could eventually involve into full F1-style communications between&nb🎐sp;rider and team.

"One of the things we’ve been addressing this year is the visibility of the yellow flags and flags in gene♛ral," Ezpeleta told the official Mot🎉oGP website.

"After the events in Austria we spoke to some of the riders in the Saf🐠ety Commission and they asked if we could try the radio system again. We had tested this in the past with various 𝄹riders and they said it was disturbing. Now technology has improved a lot we decided to give it another try.

"We tested🐟 with Stefan. It went well. It was just a preliminary test. The system itse🃏lf is the first prototype. At the beginning, this will only be used to communicate predetermined recorded messages about flags, penalties, things like this.

"Then maybe🦩 in the future we co♊uld open up to communication with the teams and if it’s possible from riders back to the teams.

"We’re very happy with this first test today. The idea is we’ll test it again on Tuesday at the MotoGP test here at Misano. Hopefully, ♊we’ll be able to🎃 present something soon in the following seasons."
