The concession system introduced last year in MotoGP is set to allow KTM and Aprilia to develop their engines and conduct tests with their factory riders starting in August.
KTM and Aprilia are currently in category C, which restricts private testing and engine modifications. Ducati is in group A, Honda and Yamaha in group D with unlimited testing and full engine development permitted.
This system was created to close the performance gap Ducati has built over its competitors in MotoGP.
KTM and Aprilia are likely to move up to group D alongside Honda and Yamaha due to their current performance.
Aprilia faces a challenging task of earning enough points to remain in category C, while KTM is in a better position to meet the requirements.
Yamaha’s concessions will remain despite Fabio Quartararo’s recent strong performance in Jerez.
