| Obviously I can't speak for everyone else who has written on this thread but for my own part I can tell you, categorically, that jealousy has nothing to do with it. Nor do I have any issue with any individual rider. I am merely expressing my view that the organisers should do the right thing for the series.
In section 1 of the rules it says: "Most modifications are only allowed for safety reasons or to allow older generations of the Desmo Due family of motorcycles to remain competitive with the latest machines." That is what everyone I've ever spoken to was under the impression was the rule. The fact that 1.1 doesn't go on to expressly disallow 620 engines changing their capacity coupled with the fact that in the very first race one competitor has done exactly that is a mistake. It is a loop hole/error/whatever you'd like to call it but it should be fixed. |
