The main features of the new Saturday afternoon race - half-distance, half-points and same grid as the Sunday race - 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:were confirmed last month, but with further details subject to talks wit💎h the manufacturers, teams and 🐼riders.

On the technical side, some teams raised concerns over the absence of a reduced fuel limit for the Sprint race, which would allow engines to be run in flat out ‘qualifying s🌳peꦯc’ for the entire distance.

That has now been addressed with, Carlos Ezpe༒leta, Chief Sporting Officer at Dorna, announci൩ng that a 12-litre limit will be in place for the Sprint race, broadly proportional to the 22-litre for the normal distance.

Might that now mean som𒁃e teams fit special sma🧜ller tanks and use the space gained to create a more aerodynamic rider position, for example?

• Marc Marquez ‘happy with myself’, Kalex swi🅠ngarm ‘not clear’
• Crutchlow: Toprak should ‘take the jump’ to MotoGP, even with a satellite team
• 2023 MotoGP World Championship - Final rider line-up

Another grey area concerned penalties and whether any Long Laps picked up in practice, for example, would then be served in the Sprint or G♕P race.

Ezpeleta explained that pre-race penalties will be carried over to  the Sunday, with only in-race infringements likely to be served during the Sprint𓃲. Track limit warninওgs will also be reduced from 5 to 3, compared to the full GP race.

In terms of the weekend schedule, the main changes are the removal of Sunday morning warm-up for the Moto2 and Moto3 classes, reduction of MotoGP warm-up from 20 to 10 🐻minutes and extension of Friday afternoon MotoGP practice from 45 to 60 minutes.

The Sprint race podium will ‘probably’ be held in 🍨a different location to the Sunday podium, while MotoGP riders will take part in a new 30-minute fan show after the warm-up on Sundays.

Sprint results will not count as ‘Grand Prix’ results and instead be listed separately on each rider’s official profile. The Saturday races, at every round, will be broadcast as part o🥂f the existing MotoGP TV packages.
