P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ducati has received a further fuel flow penalty ahead of the Czech Round this weekend.
This weekend’s WorldSBK Czech Round will impose another fuel flow penalty on Ducati, reducing its maximum flow by 0.5kg/h in Most.
The penalty comes after Ducati was previously penalized by 0.5kg/h before the Dutch Round last April.
WorldSBK implements fuel flow penalties every second round based on a performance algorithm, spacing penalties for Ducati due to its dominating season with wins in every race and top standings in riders’ positions.
Ducati’s maximum fuel flow is now at 44kg/h due to the penalty.
Bimota received a similar penalty in Assen, but with no podium finishes in the last two rounds, they did not face another reduction this time.
Yamaha, in contrast, was granted a 0.5kg/h increase under the concession system due to its slower speed performance, moving from the baseline of 46.5kg/h to 47kg/h for the season.
