(Reuters) - MotoGP is looking to introduce concessions to help Honda and Yamaha so the Japanese manufacturers can become competitive again, Carlos Ezpeleta, chief sporting officer of commercial rights holders Dorna Sports, has said.

Honda and Yamaha have had terrible seasons in 2023 with only one podium finish each in the first eight rounds to occupy the bottom two places in the constructors' standings.
