KTM confirmed it has received approval from manufacturer association MSMA to correct a supplier-component defect blamed for a string of RC16 MotoGP engine failures. At Silverstone the four RC16 riders will still race under an interim, rev-limited setup, with the actual fix targeted for the next round at Aragon (August 28-30) under IRTA supervision. Once completed, the engines are expected to return to their original maximum rpm.

Word in the pit is they're bracing for Silverstone with the power turned down on that high-speed layout — and trust me, with throttle feel practically wired into my fingers, racing those fast corners on a de-tuned bike is brutal. Whether KTM gets the fix done in time for Aragon could swing the whole second half of their championship fight.

Mid-season engine fix... isn't this just exploiting a loophole in the development freeze?

They got MSMA approval, so it's the proper process. Component defects happen.
