Suzuki engine situation still to be decided
There is still no꧑ official decision on the surprising news that Suzuki ridﷺers Loris Capirossi and Alvaro Bautista are likely to be allowed extra engines.
Only six engines per rider can be used during the 18-roꦿund 2010 season, but the Suzuki riders are already getting perilously close to that limit.
Each time a rider exceeds the six-engine limit, they must start the following race from the en♊d of pit lane - with a ten-second penalty.

The Suzuki riders are prꦇesently 13th and 15th in the championship, so any further engines won't make a big difference to the results at the front of the field, but such exemptions are clearly controversial.
The unanimous decision has to come from the Grand Prix Commission, which is scheduled to meet to discuss the m♛atter during the next round at Brno from August 13-15.
💦The Grand🌱 Prix Commission is comprised of FIM, DORNA, IRTA and MSMA.
