MotoGP organiser Dorna has announced that the CryptoData-owned RNF Aprilia team has not been selected for a place on the 2024 grid, as first reported by The Race last weekend
The CryptoData-owned RNF Aprilia team has been expelled from the MotoGP grid for the 2024 season due to repeated infractions and breaches of the Participation Agreement, which have affected the public image of MotoGP. Despite having a contract agreement until 2026, the team will not be participating. The MotoGP Selection Committee will be reviewing applications for a new independent team using Aprilia machinery to join the grid in 2024. The team’s two grid spots and factory Aprilia support are expected to be taken over by NASCAR Cup squad Team Trackhouse as part of a new satellite entity. The decision by Dorna has sparked controversy, with the former team principal removed and the team’s majority shareholders intending to fight the decision in court.
