The Grand Prix Commission has announced an immediate ban on front holeshot devices. Fitting them to bikes will no longer be permitted starting at the next round, Assen. The ruling also widens grid spacing from the German GP (Sachsenring) onward, and includes a rule capping the number of bikes on the grid per manufacturer at a maximum of six starting in 2028.

The immediate ban on holeshot devices is a huge deal on the ground. With the whole launch dynamic getting reset, the fight to turn one goes straight back to a bare-knuckle contest. Skill and clutch work start to matter again. Coming from an old-timer like me, this is honestly a change I want to welcome.

Losing that scramble off the start is quietly a bit sad.

I'm all for widening the grid gaps, that tight-packed start always makes me nervous.

Effective immediately from Assen? Changing it mid-season like that is way too sloppy, the manufacturers have already built these things in.

Including the 2028 six-bikes-per-manufacturer cap, this is basically a move to cripple Ducati, they did have 8 lined up after all.

Back in the day riders nailed the start with pure skill, no device needed.

So only the front holeshot device gets banned. The rear device sticks around then.

Holeshot device is the one that lowers ride height at the start, right?
