MotoGP could soon give itself new rules that will be decisive for the fate of the riders: Marquez pushes, while they would not make Bagnaia’s fortune
Sports and engines are constantly evolving: new regulations, cutting-edge engineering, car set-up and obviously the preparation of the drivers, all decisive elements to adapt to in order to achieve success. MotoGP this year there is no lack of spectacle either, as well as controversy over the weight and characteristics of the bikes, according to many become unmanageable.
There were many who complained precisely because riding their bike to the checkered flag was practically unbearable. Furthermore, the number of champions with compartment syndrome in all categories it is increasing dramatically. In short, MotoGP has moved towards a paradigm that puts it at center stage aerodynamic and technological development of the cars, a choice that also divides the public.
Many are convinced that we must stop, so as not to harm the health of pilots and by putting entertainment first, others want to see how far we can innovate. The pilot talent, certainly, it is not emphasized, or rather it is less emphasized than a few years ago, and this is precisely the theme of Dani Pedrosa, who spoke out on the topic.
Pedrosa on Marquez’s side: “Let’s eliminate everything”
The aerodynamic aid gives from the point of view of speed, it takes away from the point of view of individual initiative, so those who have been on the circuit for years can hardly be in favor. And neither is Pedrosa who, to the microphones of ‘Dura la vita’, underlined: “I would eliminate all electronic and aerodynamic systems which make the races too close together.”
The historic Spanish driver therefore took the side of Marc Marquez, who for weeks has expressed his discontent with the latest developments in motorcycles. And if we talk about talent, we think of Marquez currently in the MotoGP hierarchy, so much so that the 1993 class is managing to keep up with Martin and Bagnaiadespite a decidedly older two-wheeler.
The Italian Ducati rider, on the other hand, would be disadvantaged by a return to the past, as he would lose all the advantages he now has at his disposal on his bike. Desmosedici GP24. We’ll see if MotoGP eliminates a lot of aerodynamic advances, but Marquez sure is anyway ready to return to the topwith or without a simpler bike.
