JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – This season, KTM managed to get two wins. Thus, this Austrian manufacturer also lost their status as a team concession.
Since 2013, at MotoGP there is such a thing as a concession team, applicable to manufacturers who have just joined. The person with this status is the factory team who haven’t had a win or podium in two years.

Quoted from motogp.with, the concession team is given several advantages to make it quickly compete or competitive with its competitors who have long joined MotoGP.
Some of the advantages, ranging from the number of machines per rider, number of test sessions, wilcard opportunities, and more.
Each racer is given nine engines, and is allowed to make improvements as the season progresses. The opportunity to do the test anytime and on any track. Then, the wildcard chance was six times.
However, this advantage can be lost if the manufacturer scores six points which will be counted over a period of two years. If the six points are not achieved, the next two years will be recalculated.

The tally itself is three points for a win, two points for the runner-up and one point for finishing third.
KTM has already got six points with a win Brad Binder of Czech MotoGP and Miguel Oliveira at the Styria MotoGP.
This means that the four riders will not be able to test freely. Likewise with test rider Dani Pedrosa, KTM had to choose three circuits to perform the test.
The ration of nine machines in one season will also be cut to just seven machines. The chance for the wildcard is also only three times.
