The latest revisions are a repeat of the rpm modifications introducedꦕ for Catalunya, with Ducati - whose lead rider Alvaro Bautista has won 14 of the 16 rounds - losing another 250 rpm.

The decision has been made following ‘the latest analysis🍎 of the relative performance of the machines over the last three rounds’.

An algorithm is used to help balance performance between the different machines competing in WorldS▨BK taking into account a long list of potential factors such as lap times, speed, results and laps lead.

• Offi🌳cial: Sam Lowes to World Superbike with Marc VDS
• Brad Bin🐲der: Blessing to have a fast team-mate - and Jack Mil💧ler’s Ducati knowhow
• Sam Lowes: Acosta, Arbolino deserve MotoGP | ‘I can’t do that’ like Rins

If the results of the algorithm suggest changes are needed, the rev limit for each manufacturer can be adjusted in increments o𝔉f 250 rpm (up or down), after every third rou🐷nd.

Although Bautista is dominating this season, the next best Ducati rider - Axel B🦹assani - is only fifth in the world c🌞hampionship, behind the Yamahas of Toprak Razgatlioglu and Andrea Locatelli, plus the lead Kawasaki of Jonathan Rea.

As at Catalunya, Kawasaki - still without a win this season - has again ‘elected to use five concession points to benefi✤t from a 250 rpm rev limit increase’ from Imola.

Razgatlioglu is the only rider other than Baꦚutista to win a race so far this year, with victories in the Mandalika and Donington Pa🔯rk sprint.
