The main features of the new Saturday afternoon race - half-distance, half-points and same grid as the Sunday race - 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:were confirmed last month, but with fur❀ther details subjecဣt to talks with the manufacturers, teams and riders.

On the te🦄chnical side, some teams raised concerns over the absence o♈f a reduced fuel limit for the Sprint race, which would allow engines to be run in flat out ‘qualifying spec’ for the entire distance.

That has now been addressed with, Carlos Ezpeleta, Chief Sporting Officer at Dorna, announcing that a 12-litre limit will be in place for the Sprint race, broadly propo൲rtional to the 22-litre for the normal distance.

Might that now mean some 🍌teams fit special smaller tanks and use the space gained to create a more aerodynamic rider position, for example?

• Marc Marquez ‘happy with myself’, Kalex swingaওrm ‘not clear’
• Crutchlow: Toprak should ‘take the jump’ to MotoGP, even with a satellite team
• 2023 MotoGP World Championship - Final rider line-up

Another gre🍷y area concerned penalties and whether any Long Laps picked up in practice, for example, would then be served in 🐭the Sprint or GP race.

Ezpeleta explained that pre-race penalties will be carried over to  the Sunday, with only in-rac⛎e infringements likely to be served during the Sprint. Track limit warnings will also be reduced from 5 to 3, compared to the full GP race.

In terms of the weekend schedule, the main changes are the removal of Sunday morning wa🌊rm-up for the Moto2 and Moto3 classes, reduction of MotoGP warm-up from 20 to 10 minutes and extens✃ion of Friday afternoon MotoGP practice from 45 to 60 minutes.

The Sprint race podium will ‘probably𒁏’ be held in a different location to the Sunday podium, while MotoGP riders will take pꦆart in a new 30-minute fan show after the warm-up on Sundays.

Sprint results will not count as ‘Grand Prix’ results and instead be listed separately on each rider’s official profile. The Saturday races, at every roဣund, will be broadcast as part of the existing MotoGP TV packages.
