Rule changes

A new concession system for manufacturers has been introduced. It categorizes manufacturers based on their recent performance in two evaluation windows. The system covers various aspects, including test days, riders, wildcard appearances, engines, aero updates, and testing tyre allocations.[30]

During the warm up lap of the sprint or race, race direction may use the white flag signifying that bike changes are allowed due to rain. Riders may enter pit lane to change tyres or bike and subsequently start the race from pit lane without further penalty.[30]
