M✨otoGP sporting director Carlos Ezpeleta insists the championship is “workin🔜g hard to help” the struggling Japanese manufacturers who recently ruled but now languish behind.

Concessions have, in the past, aided each of the European manufacturers but the rule could be tweak꧋ed to assist former powerhouses Honda and Yamaha.

"The 'concessions' are not the right approach," said Stefan Pierer, CEO of the Pierඣer Group which 𝐆owns KTM, to . 

"The Japanese don't want that either, because such a process is tanta🏅mount to humiliatioജn.

“Something like that ꦕhurts the pride of the Japanese, you don't do ♛that. 

“But we can imagine other concessions. For example, more t✃est days so that they catch up closer to the top again.”

The 2014 concessions rule benefitted any team which had not achieved 🦩a dry win in the previous season, including Ducati.

The technical advantages that cam🧔e with con🍬cessions were reduced in 2016 when mandatory ECUs were introduced.

The cu𒅌rrent rule states that a team is only eligible for concessions if they go a whole season without a podium - but both Honda and Yamaha have managed to do this already.

The major concern is that the manufacturers, if they do not💎 improve, could follow f🦩ellow Japanese brand Suzuki by quitting MotoGP.

So KTM are on board with helping them somehow.

"I thi🃏nk the current discussions about the regulations are reasonable," Pierer said.

“Now we wait and see what comes out. 

“It is important that we keep the two Japaneseꦓ manufacturers in the championship."
