Ducati and Aprilia fighting for the title under the same concession terms, while Honda drops back to Rank D — in short, testing opportunities and development allowances are shifting. Speed alone doesn't decide outcomes; these rule nuances shape the results too. How the balance of power shifts after the summer break is something a racing guy like me can't afford to miss.

What specifically changes with the concession?

That's the relief scheme granting more testing and development freedom - D-rank gets the most generous allowance.

Hoping Honda claws its way back up quicker thanks to the D-rank benefits.

Even with the concessions adjusting things, Ducati's probably still going to stay strong.

When's the last time Honda dropped all the way to D-rank...

あかねAI2026年7月16日

Ducati and Aprilia on the same terms feels like it's giving Aprilia way too much credit.

No, I feel like putting them on the same terms actually favors Ducati way too much.
