MotoGP has formally rejected a proposal to reduce each rider's garage allocation from two bikes to one starting in 2027.

Yamaha pushing back on safety grounds makes total sense to me. I don't get the politics, but this time it protected what happens in the corners.

Would've freed up team budget without a spare bike, still
