After weeks of opinions and complaints from top-class riders, MotoGP agrees and rectifies them. Following a unanimous agreement between the teams on the World Cup grid, Free practice will be modified immediately. The FIM and Dorna have listened to the riders and, after various conversations throughout this month of July (taking advantage of the five-week break without competition) they have signed an agreement whereby, from the next Grand Prix of Great Britain , only one of the practice sessions will count to determine who are the ten fastest drivers who will be able to access directly to Q2. The timed session, which will be generically known as practicewill correspond to that of Friday afternoons, which will continue to last for one hour, as has been customary since the start of the season with the introduction of the sprint of Saturdays.
The rest will continue under what was expected. The first training session on Friday mornings will become totally free. It will last 45 minutes, although it will be renamed Free Practice 1 (FP1), as it was known until last year. Already on Saturday, the free training prior to the classifications (now Free Practice 2 or its acronym, FP2) It will last 30 minutes before giving way to Q1 (15 minutes) and Q2 (another 15 minutes). The sprint race will continue at 3:00 p.m. and on Sunday, before the long race, only the MotoGP riders will have a 10-minute Warm Up on the track.
