I can see the two sides of the argument here.
One side is that tyre warmers will give extra safety because you can go for it from the off. While I agree, 30 racers all going banzai into the first corner is not my idea of safe anyway!
The other side is that DesmoDue is supposed to be cheap and also level the playing field for all competitors. Taking away tyre warmers means that everyone will be the same and it may actually make the first few corners that little bit easier for us novices. And, of course, it keeps the cost down.
