Mat Oxley: After further R&D the #MotoGP shoulder cam is back - the best way for fans to get an idea of what the rider is actually doing on the bike. Think there could be a sponsorship opportunity for Aleix Espargaro here - a nice corporate tattoo under his chin?

Season Length Sees MotoGP Engine Allocation Increased From 7 To 8 Engines Submitted by David Emmett on Fri, 2022-05-13 02:08
With the expansion of the MotoGP season to a record 21 races for 2022, the Grand Prix Commission has agreed to increase the number of engines each rider is allowed to use throughout the season. For this year, and if no events are canceled, then each rider will have 8, rather than 7 engines to use throughout the season.
The change is a response to the length of the season, and comes with conditions. Riders will only be allowed to use their 8th engine starting from the 19th event of the season. This gives the riders 7 engines to use for the first 18 events, plus an additional engine to be used from FP1 at the 19th round, the Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island.
This change will be applied for subsequent seasons as well. From now on, if the MotoGP calendar published before the start of the season has up to 20 races scheduled, then riders will be allowed 7 engines per season. If the calendar has 21 or 22 races (the current maximum number agreed with the teams in the contracts signed with Dorna), then they will be allowed 8 engines, with the 8th only available from the 19th event onward.

Mat Oxley: Espargaro is using Aprilia's new carbon clutch. Big improvement: lots better on starts, quicker and smoother upshifts and lighter. Slightly different feeling to the engine-braking but no negative. I think Aprilia were the first in MotoGP with a carbon clutch, with the Cube

Sportsmanship lesson in MotoGP: Quartararo's gesture with Márquez. Quartararo did not hesitate to give Marquez a cable. Thanks to this, the Catalan finished the FP3 in fourth position.
