850cc seems like an odd size. They should've gone to 750s and launched a whole new range to bikes  The 800s introduced obscene lean angles and increased high-sides, and this was when they had open ECU rules! I don't recall the racing becoming closer or better. |

It's a hard situation to sort out. In theory we should see races with 15 people separated by seconds if qualifying is anything to go by but in the race it becomes static and spread out.

The though that crossed my mind was why the manufacturers who originally opposed this have now changed their minds (mainly KTM and Aprilia).
I think it was KTM who were saying that they had ben convinced that it is for the good of the series... maybe I am reading too much betwen the lines, but could it be that a new manufacturer is putting down crieria for entering in 2027?
We know that Ezpelata is blocking grid places for "the new player", so it makes sense if this change is also favourable for whoever that might be.

Isn't Toprak's wheel off the ground style not suitable for motogp? I'm sure I read something about him not being able to use the engine braking properly. I guess he is not in the Motogp gang now anyway.

I bet this move wil make Motogp as dull as Moto2 It will be a short lived change then. Would anyone watch if it was? |

This 850 move is still ignoring what the main problem with racing is every week.
