explanation please

How are constructor points awarded in MotoGP? It seems points are only
allocated to the winning bike. Which seems completely absurd.

 

If it were awarded to other finishers, the manufacturer with the most
bikes entered would win most of the time. The way it is, having a lot
of bikes entered does increases the chances of winning, but the team
with one bike and a really good program still has a chance for the
constructors championship. What would you suggest?

You have a point -- it's not like F1, where the teams are the constructors,
other teams can buy Honda/Ducati/Yamaka, etc.

But the current system doesn't seem to me to be an adequate measure
of the superiority of the bike. Maybe I would award points to the
podium places? I dunno.

 

I agree. I think the Honda is still the better bike. If Rossi were to ride
it, and his competitors would ride the Yamaha, he would destroy them
completely.

 

They obviously only need one bike.
