The Grand Prix Commission has announced a tweak to rules regarding wet weather 🅘racing, stating that it is no longer required that a changed bike must have a different type of tyre.

As it stands,🙈 during a race that has been declared as wet, when a rider enters the pit-lane to change bike, that machine must be equipped with a different type of tyre.

However, 🅰a meeting of the commission unanimously decided to amend this ruling, declaring it potentially unsafe to compel a rider to rejoin the circuit with slick tyres.

"The Commission unanimously decided to modify the regulation concerning the change of MotoGP class machines during a race held in wet conditions. In future, once a race is declared wet, meaning that riders may enter the pits and 💟change to a different machine, it is no longer a requirement that the new machine must be fitted with a different type of tyre.

"The reason for this change is that a wet race may be held at an event where teams and riders have had no experience of the tyre wear in wet conditions. For🐠 reaso𝓰ns of safety it is clearly unreasonable to compel a rider to re-join the race with slick tyres. So, under the changed regulations."
