In this race, MotoGP officially tested a new technology, the stability control system. This technology is designed to reduce the risk of accidents and improve rider safety, particularly in situations where control is lost when exiting a corner.[1]
The Grand Prix Commission has extended the grid procedure for MotoGP sprint races from 15 minutes to 20 minutes, starting this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg. The change is intended to give teams more time to make adjustments to their bikes or change tires before the race begins.[2]
