KTM's Miguel Oliveira believes MotoGP concessions shouldn't be used to just help the struggling Japanese marques - but must be aimed at closing up the entire grid.
Yamaha and Honda's current crisis has led Dorna Sports to consider reviving manufacturer concessions in a bid to help the struggling Japanese brands.believes teams with more bikes should face restrictions, and struggling smaller teams should be given more test days and tyres than those seeing success.
“That starts with the number of the bikes on the grid. I don’t think now the championship has allowed Ducati to have eight bikes on the grid that you should take them off the grid. “That also maybe applies to the manufacturer that has two bikes. Maybe that manufacturer with two bikes on the grid, who is struggling more, maybe give them more test days, give them more tyres to test, more chances to actually bring a plan down to get valuable track time.”Concessions were introduced in 2014 in a bid to help balance the field and provide a greater competitive platform for prospective manufacturers, which helped bring Suzuki, Aprilia and KTM to the grid between 2015 and 2017.
Aprilia was the last manufacturer to lose concessions, doing so last year, with all manufacturers in 2023 running to the same rules.
