The proposed cost cutting rule changes (control ECU, rev limit ect) were supposed to epic and define the future of MotoGP racing in order to dumb down the prototypes and level them with the slower CRTs, but instead of a important changes, the Grand Prix Commission delivered a tiny mouse during the Assen GP weekend.

They have crossed off the proposed one bike rule (the teams would have kept an almost completely pre-assembled bike on one of their trucks), the carbon brakes (after Brembo lowered their prices,) and as expected caved into pressure by Repsol and Honda and abolished the Rookie rule giving Moto2 fair haired child Marc Marquez the okay to head to the factory Honda team, but they froze the bore and stroke dimensions of the machines until 2014 (which supposedly could halt development for Ducati if they should want to change their engine layout).

They also limited to the 24 possible gear ratios and four possible ratios for the primary gear (how much did it cost before the tweak?) and the GP Commission has confirmed that each manufacturer can enter only four machines, which makes it only 12 MotoGP prototypes on the grid, even if there should be some suddently cash rich team who would like to switch from the slow CRTs now cannot even lease a bike.

Regarding the Moto3 class they’ve instated with immediate application the same penalty that exists in the MotoGP class for exceeding the permitted number of engines used.
Use more engines than allowed and the rider will have start the race from the pit lane and 10 seconds after the green light is turned on
