Seeing the biggest reduction at the start of the season, Aprilia and Kawasaki will have the biggest challenge. In 2017 the Italian bikes were running at a maximum of 15,800rpm, meaning they face a reduction of -1100rpm – the same as the Japanese green machines who have gone from 15200 to 14100rpm; whilst Ducati will see a reduction of -800rpm. These examples show that all the bikes will begin the season with lower engine revs, which were given to the teams with enough time in order to allow them to make the appropriate modifications throughout the pre-season as well as allowing the riders to adapt to them.
