Bold MotoGP proposal: A two-grid format for fairer qualifying

As things currently stand, riders complete a total of three practice sessions before qualifying, with two Free Practice sessions and one timed session in which the top 10 riders automatically go through to Q2.

For the remaning 10, the Q1 session is a battle for the top two places, with the top two then advancing to join the fastest 10 from Friday in Q2.

The results from Q1 and Q2 determine the starting order for both the Saturday sprint and the Sunday main race.

Brivio, whose Trackhouse team experienced their most successful stint in the premier class last season, has offered an alternative structure for race weekends to enable more room for mistakes and setup alterations.

"I don't like Friday, when you already have to be in the top 10 and that sets up the entire week," the team boss told Crash.net, "I'd like Friday afternoon to remain as it is, but to serve as qualification for the sprint race, then have a real qualifying session for Sunday's race."

"This way, we'd have two grids and we wouldn't be committed to the weekend from Friday if something went wrong."

Last season, Trackhouse were one of the most impressive satellite teams. Powered by Aprilia parts, the team scored solid points throughout the year with Japanese rookie Ai Ogura, as well as a podium and race victory for Raul Fernandez.
