MotoGP is considering a more compact weekend format designed to reduce team spending and simplify travel logistics. The proposal would change the amount of track activity and the workload for the squads.
The downside concerns preparation: with less time to gather data and find the right set-up, the competitive order could shift more quickly. The result would be a less predictable championship, offering greater opportunities to those who interpret weekend conditions most effectively.
