Other changes to be instituted include removal of tire warmers at the one-minute board, new qualifying rules, plus transponders that alert riders to flag signals
In order to address the issue of riders who are continually warned or penalized for “endangering other riders or committing other serious offenses like assaulting marshals or other officials”, the MotoGP rule-making Grand Prix Commission approved the institution of a new “Penalty Points” system. Race Direction will have the option of sanctioning a rider with a number of penalty points between one and 10 in addition to any other penalties that are handed down for the infraction. Certain thresholds were set for penalty points accumulated during the season, with the following sanctions to be imposed:
- Four points: Starts next race from rear of the grid
- Seven points: Starts next race from pit lane
- 10 points: Disqualification from the next event
