The concession system introduced last year in MotoGP to help manufacturers is set to allow KTM and Aprilia to develop their engines and conduct tests with their factory riders from August.
Out of the four existing MotoGP manufacturer categories (A, B, C, and D), both the Austrian and Italian manufacturers are currently classified in category C, which prohibits their riders from carrying out any private testing and prevents them from modifying their engines, which are frozen by regulation.
