"...After all, Kawasaki signed an agreement with Dorna and these deals can't just be binned from one day to the next."


"MotoGP must start cutting costs. I already have many ideas but I can only make proposals. It's up to the constructors to take certain decisions and find a way to go racing while spending less. I'd propose for example just three bikes per team, so I'd do with one less.

"I'd use steel brakes, no more carbon ones. If useful, I'd cancel Friday practice. And the satellite teams' bikes should be competitive for at least two seasons, unlike now when at the end of a season they get destroyed to be rebuilt from scratch."

"The issue is under consideration," the source said. "We have made no decision. We are in contact with parties concerned so that we can decide our future course of action.”

Apparently, the 'consideration' is a result of the size of the compensation that Dorna is demanding

as i said earlier, it'd more likely be the other way around (dorna subsidizing/offering incentives for somebody anybody to run the kawasakis).
