The new weekend schedule will come into effect at Silverstꦗone this weekend on ꦛAugust 4-6, the next round of the championship.

New MotoGP format

Friday morning: 45-minute Free Practice 1
Friday afternoon: 60-minute Practice (session🥂 timed for entry ▨into Q2)

Saturday morning: 30-minute Free Practice 2
Saturday morning: 15-minute Qualifying 1
Saturday morning: 15-minute Qualifying 2
Saturday afternoon: Sprint race

Sunday: Warm-up
Sunday: Race

The key change is that the first session of the weekend, now🥃 a 45-minute Free Practice on Friday morning, will no longer be timed for entry into Qualifying 2.

This was approved by🙈 the Grand Prix Com⭕mission after a unanimous agreement by every MotoGP team.

From now on, a second session on Friday afternoon called Practice will be the only timed s♛ession for entry into ♔Q2.

Riders and teams will then get a 30-minute Free Practice 2 sessionಌ on Saturday morning, before the🐽 usual sprint race.

Sunday is unchanged.
