Ducati is officially deemed to have claimed only one dry podium so far this season, Mot🎐oGP Race Director Mike Webb has declared.

The wet or dry decision is important as it determines whether the result counts towards the tipping point at which Ducati will lose itജs race fuel and softer tyre concessions.

Howeve꧂r it has been complicate♉d by mixed weather for two of Ducati's three rostrums this season.

Although a Factory manufacturer,𝄹 like Honda and Yamaha, Ducati currently enjoys all of the Open class benefits - due to having not won a race in 2013.

However the four-litre fuel advantage will be halved for all Ducati riders if the manufacturer achieves a race win, two second places or three podiums in dry conditions. If Ducati claims ꦇthree wins their riders wi🎉ll also lose the softer rear tyre. All other concessions - extra engines and testing - will remain until start of single ECU era in 2016.

While Andrea Dovizioso's third place ꦅat Austin was clearly dry, the Ita꧃lian's runner-up finish at Assen came in a race that saw riders switch from their wet to dry bikes. Meanwhile Cal Crutchlow's third place last time at Aragon was in a race that began dry, before rain prompted a change to wet weather machines.

According to the official results, Assen is listed as wet but Aragon is declaꦬred as having been dry, presumably since those were the start-of-race conditions.

However in terms of 💝the technical rules, Webb is classifying Aragon as wet.

"For the purposes of the regu🌜lation we are talking about it's wet," the New Zealander told the official MotoGP website. "ဣSo Ducati have achieved one dry podium so far, which was Texas.

"I declare a race wet or dry at the beginning because it affects how the teams set their bikes up, knowing whether they are going to be able to use the spare bike or not. When conditions change during a race in M🌜otoGP, with the w🌄hite flag I can tell them conditions have now changed, which is what happened at Aragon and they are allowed to use the spare bike.

"The way the concessions rule is written about tyres, fuel and 💟so on for Ducati and the other manufacturers, it applies to results achieved in dry conditions. So it is a little bit different to the race being declared d💃ry at the start. The podium in Aragon was very clearly not achieved in dry conditions."

The Open class concessi෴ons also apply to any 'new' manufacturers, meaning Suzuki and Aprilia in 2015.
