Rule Changes
- A number of rule changes were enacted for the 2010 season. They included reductions to test mileage, the introduction of engines with prolonged life, the use of cast iron brakes instead of carbon brakes, the use of only one spare bike, and the cancellation of one of the Friday practice sessions. Despite this, two Friday practice sessions were held in Aragón and the final two races.
- From 2010 on, rookies in the MotoGP class are permitted to sign only with privately owned teams. Suzuki are exempt from this rule, as they only run one factory team and have no satellite teams.

Famous quotes containing the word rule:
“Man who man would be,
Must rule the empire of himself; in it
Must be supreme, establishing his throne
On vanquished will, quelling the anarchy
Of hopes and fears, being himself alone.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“Roman, remember that you shall rule the nations by your authority, for this is to be your skill, to make peace the custom, to spare the conquered, and to wage war until the haughty are brought low.”
—Virgil [Publius Vergilius Maro] (70–19 B.C.)
