Dorna had previously floated the idea to ꦗtweak a MotoGP rule and allow🌺 the struggling Japanese manufacturer more technical privileges to help them become more competitive.

Ducati, Aprilia an𒈔d KTM have not been particularly welcoming🥂 to the suggestion.

But Carmelo Ezpeleta, Dorna CEO, insists the concessions can go ahead even without approval f🧔rom every team.

"Why is it difficult? B🌳ecause you have tಌo convince people,” he was quoted by . 

“We have a theory which is that technical changes♏ in the middle of a period, which is five years, I🌱 want them to be made unanimously. 

“But if they can't be made unanimously... well, we will have to think by majori🌞ty. 

“But I prefer to convince people.

"There will be changes. T♓he concessions is something that wa𒉰s done when Ducati, in its day, did not win and Yamaha and Honda were generous in letting the brands that entered have some benefits. 

“And we are going to try to🌟 achieve it aga♛in for next year. 

“It's not that there are concessions for Yamaha and Honda, it's🌌 that the concession system is more adapted to what is the reality of the results now. It's about being competitive. 

“From the moral point of view, those who once gave way to concessions are the ones who are now, theoretic🐭ally, mos꧑t in need.”

Concessions - a range of t𒊎echnical perks to enable teams to get up to speed quicker - were dished out to Ducati, Suzuki, KTM and Aprilia in the past.

As the teamsಌ improved, their concessions were reduced♏.

In 2016 the rule changed when mandatory use of the standard ECU was introd♊uced.

The new 2023 weekend format, which includes sprint races and lessens practice, allows less time for struggling teams to develop 💛their bikes.

The current rule only allows concessions for a team which hasn’t earned a podium finish in a😼n entire season - but Yamaha and Honda h꧑ave both managed this in 2023, hence the suggested tweak of the rule.

Yamaha’s Fabio Quartara🐬ro and Honda’s Marc Marquez are the two high-profile victims of their manufacturers’ struggles.

Ezpeleta said: "I see that they are two fantastꦇic riders who do not have the bike they need at the moment. 

“We have to know 🌸that the differences are very mini♚mal. 

“Marc, in training times, is less than a second behind the winner♓. 

“Things are very competitive and if something goes wrong, you're gon🐠e.

ꩵ“Normally, Marc solved many of those things, and Quartararo too. 

“You ๊have to see what their teammates do. The teammates of Marc, like Quartararo, they don't usually beat them.”

Ezpeleta said about the possibility of expanding the grid: “More teams? Those that exist have an agreement until 2026. “More motorcycles? We want fewe💧r, that there be 22 and not 24.”
