MotoGP’s long-rumoured revised system of technical Concessions has been announced.
Aprilia’s achievement of enough podium results allowed them to join other factories on the same technical rules this season, rendering the previous Concessions system redundant. However, there is now a clear divide between the performance of European (Ducati, KTM, and Aprilia) and Japanese (Honda and Yamaha) factories, with the latter experiencing a decline in recent years. European bikes dominated the riders’ championship and constructors’ standings, with Yamaha and Honda achieving some success. The revised race weekend format, with a new Sprint race on Saturdays, has made it harder to bridge the technical gap. In response to struggling manufacturers, a more complex Concession system has been agreed upon, allowing for more opportunities to develop bikes based on constructors’ points scored. This includes changes in test tyre allowances, private testing privileges, wildcard allowances, and engine and aero updates based on Concession rank.
