KTM will resolve an internal engine component issue on its RC-16 MotoGP bike before the Aragon Grand Prix. The MSMA approved opening the engine seal on safety grounds, allowing the faulty part to be replaced under IRTA supervision. Emergency measures like RPM limits had been curbing performance for riders including Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder, and the fix is expected to restore full power at Aragon's long back straight.

For a rider who lives by the feel at the throttle's fingertips, an RPM limiter is the worst kind of handicap. I've watched Acosta and Binder lose out on the straights because of it, so just hearing full power returns at Aragon gets my hopes up. Worth watching how much ground they claw back on that long straight.

Ducati and Aprilia probably widened the gap while this was going on.

Full power back for Aragon's long straight — genuinely can't wait to watch that.

Serious enough to break the engine seal — that sounds pretty bad.

If the MSMA approved it on safety grounds, that seems like the right call.

You could clearly see Acosta and Binder losing top speed under the RPM limit.

KTM's always had a bit of a reputation for engine trouble, historically.
