This year, the rules about the minimum pressure of the front tyre in MotoGP will be more strict. Last year, the penalized riders lost time at the end of the race, but in 2024 the consequence will be draconian – a disqualification.
Francesco Guidotti, Red Bull KTM’s team manager, is settled with the rule, but he gave a hint that the penalty for these infractions could still change:
– We have to stick with the rules. It’s the same for everyone, it’s something we already experienced last year and wasn’t a drama. So at the moment the penalty will be a disqualification, but maybe there’s still room to manage the penalty. If everybody… first, if Michelin will agree and everybody has to agree on maybe a some new proposal.
