For riders, it is all about the MOT. Before the MOT begins, a complete inspection of the motorcycle has to be carried out by all team officials and approved by the Automobile Club International (ACI). A list of the modifications that have been made has to be given to the official before the MOT begins. The modifications are then inspected by the authorized motorcycle road Racing Organization (MOTOGP) inspector who is a professional from the MOTOGP. Any non compliance check will result in immediate disqualification from the race.
