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.
As negotiations near a conclusion on MotoGP’s revised concessions package for 2024, Fabio Quartararo has emphasised that Yamaha must not let what might be a limited opportunity slip away.
Aleix Espargaro doesn’t want Aprilia to be sucked back into MotoGP technical Concessions but is also ‘not against’ the rumoured changes to help struggling manufacturers Honda and Yamaha.
If Aprilia can continue its upward MotoGP trend following the loss of technical concessions, it will be the first manufacturer not to take a step back the following season.
Lorenzo Savadori will continue as Aprilia’s MotoGP test and wild-card rider for the 2023 season, but hopes 'to once again race for an entire season' in future.
With three MotoGP podiums - including two victories - already this season, plus a further rostrum at Valencia 2018, KTM has now sailed past the threshold of 6 Concession points.
