As the saying goes, a good compromise is when the various parties are dissatisfied with something, and that’s roughly the case with the new MotoGP concessions ranking.
A new ranking system has been introduced in MotoGP, replacing the previous system of podium points. The ranking system is determined by each manufacturer’s percentage score of maximum constructors’ points, with four different tiers. Ducati, starting in Ranking A with 96% of the maximum constructors’ points, will have a reduction in testing tyres and wild-cards compared to last season. KTM and Aprilia will be in Ranking C, where they will gain both testing tyres and wild-cards. Yamaha and Honda will be in Ranking D and will benefit from the full range of concessions, including increased testing tyres. Ducati supports the new system, but disagrees with the separation from KTM and Aprilia. The new system was approved unanimously after Ducati dropped its opposition to the perks for KTM and Aprilia.
