Official 2014 MotoGP Entry List Released
The International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) released the official entry list for the 2014 MotoGP Championship including 23 riders representing 13 teams.
The final entry list also lists each rider’s status as either a Open or Factory class rider. The eight Factory riders are allowed to use their teams’ own proprietary ECU software but are otherwise limited by a freeze on engine development, a limit of five engines for the whole season and just 5.3 gallons of fuel per race. Open riders must use a standardized ECU software but are allowed to use 12 engines all season and 6.3 gallons of fuel.
Open entrants are also allowed to continue development on the engines during the season – a primary reason behind Ducati‘ s decision to enter its factory riders as Open entries – and have access to softer rear tires from the official supplier, Bridgestone.
