MotoGP sporting director Carlos Ezpeleta insists the championship is🅘 “working hard꧂ to help” the struggling Japanese manufacturers who recently ruled but now languish behind.

Concessions have, in 💧the past, aided each of the European manufacturers but the rule could be tweak🌸ed to assist former powerhouses Honda and Yamaha.

"The 'concessions' are not the right approach," ไsaid Stefan Pierer, CEO of the Pierer Group which owns KTM,😼 to . 

"The Japanese don't want thaꦗt either, because such a process is tantamount to humiliation.

“Something like that hurts the pr👍ide🌱 of the Japanese, you don't do that. 

“But we can imagine other concessions. For example, more test days so that th🔜ey catch up closer to the top ag♓ain.”

The 2014 concessions rule benefitted any team whichꦡ had not achieved a dry win in the previous season, including♏ Ducati.

The technical advantages that came with concessions were reduced ꧟in 201💦6 when mandatory ECUs were introduced.

The current rule states that a team is only eligible for concessions if they go a whole season with⛦out a podium - but both Honda and Yamaha have managed to do this already.

The major concern is that the manufacturers, if they do not improve, could f🙈ollow fellow Japanese brand Suzuki by quitting MotoGP.

So KTM are on board with helping them somehow.

"I think the current discussions abo🥂ut the regulations are reasonable," Pierer said.

“Now we wait and see what comes out. 

“It is important that we keep the two Jap🍒anese manufacturers in the championship."
