[kropotkin thinks...] - Grand Prix Commission Approves Five Wildcards In 2018 For Mik

-----------------

The Grand Prix Commission met in Switzerland last week to discuss a few updates to the 2018 MotoGP regulations. The changes made were relatively minor, yet contained one or two interesting tidbits that revealed much about the 2017 season.

The most eye-catching rule tweak made was the change to the virtual pit board, or dashboard messages. The press release from the FIM states that the messages sent to a rider via the dashboard be precisely replicated in the message received by Dorna timekeeping and TV. After the controversy surrounding Ducati's messages to Jorge Lorenzo during the last two Grand Prix of the 2017 season, this suggests that they believe there was some kind of loophole in these regulations.
