MotoGP bosses have today killed off the engine claiming rule for 2014 which means that no teams will be able to use it to buy a rival's engine.

The rule, which has yet to be utilised, also dies immediately for teams that are currently using the Magneti Marelli spec-ECU so everyone on the non-MSMA (extra engines, fuel) rules will now be using the control electronics - a far more effective way of separating the privateer and factory teams.
