Yamaha and Honda could benefit from a change to the concessions rule, even if their rivals do not agree to it.
Dorna had previously floated the idea to tweak a MotoGP rule and allow the struggling Japanese manufacturer more technical privileges to help them become more competitive.Video of Honda & Yamaha to get CONCESSIONS in MotoGP?
But Carmelo Ezpeleta, Dorna CEO, insists the concessions can go ahead even without approval from every team.“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 I prefer to convince people. "There will be changes. The concessions is something that was done when Ducati, in its day, did not win and Yamaha and Honda were generous in letting the brands that entered have some benefits.“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, theoretically, most in need.” Concessions - a range of technical perks to enable teams to get up to speed quicker - were dished out to Ducati, Suzuki, KTM and Aprilia in the past.
