The Grand Prix Commission has outlined changes to the structure of Fridays at MotoGP rounds, with now just a single premier class session timed for direct entry into qualifying two.

The first MotoGP outing of a weekend will be named free practice one (FP1) and remain 45 minutes in length, but will no longer be timed for entry into Q2.

The second 60-minute session on Friday will now be referred to as practice and will be the sole session timed for riders to secure a direct spot into the second qualifying session. The 30-minute session on Saturday morning will now be named free practice two, with these changes to become effective immediately at round nine of the 2023 season between 4-6 August at Silverstone.
