Carlos Ezpeleta<br />
reveals 2024 plans for<br />
Concessions and more<br />
Ahead of the annual MotoGP summer<br />
break, Dorna Sports Chief Sporting<br />
Officer Carlos Ezpeleta has been chatting<br />
with Catalunya Radio about a number of<br />
interesting topics. Most notably, potential<br />
plans for Honda and Yamaha to receive<br />
Concessions.<br />
“We are working on being able to help, not<br />
only Honda, but also Yamaha, so that they<br />
can be competitive again in a faster way,”<br />
said Ezpeleta.<br />
“Honda and Yamaha were very considerate<br />
with the concession rules in the past, and<br />
that was vital for Ducati to be competitive<br />
and also for Suzuki to be competitive so<br />
quickly, and for KTM and Aprilia to officially<br />
enter the World Championship and be<br />
competitive as well. Dorna’s official position<br />
is that the concessions system should be<br />
updated,” continued Ezpeleta.<br />
Ezpeleta also explains that having more<br />
than 22 bikes – the current allocation – on<br />
the grid next year “isn’t planned”, and what<br />
that means for Marc Marquez’s Repsol<br />
Honda Team future. In addition, Ezpeleta<br />
touched on the potential of a Friday<br />
Free Practice MotoGP session being<br />
introduced into the weekend schedule.
