MOTOGP » Abraham Sr: CRT not a step backwards


Abraham Snr did not amass his wealth and business by being stupid, 3m for a Ducati that will receive no developement and you give back, or 1m for CRT that with a little more developement can get the same result. Also needs a bit from Aprilia to make a decent engine, apparantly at the end of the year Aspar were running gear driven Cams but reliability at the power needed is a big problem. Aprilia best work on that or next year WSB will be a totally different story for them. No Aprilia's up front in SStock. For KA its a good decision, slow down to move forward and rebuild. I am sure Mr Ezpeleta gave them the same advise as they did to Peter Clifford, however the manufacturers did't come up with their promise, then there was no fallback, now there is.

MOTOGP » Brivio responds to Suzuki MotoGP reports


So what you are all saying is a team that screwed private teams up by underselling its title sponsor, who never really put any effort in, cry cause their engines don't last and get a special rule, never put more than 2 bikes in since 1987 and then ran away when then going got tough, should automatically take the place of a team that has invested during the tough times and gained momentum during those times? 24 teams is the limit to allow a good distribution of finance. This is business and Ezpeleta is protecting those smaller teams who are taking the risk at these times. If Suzuki want to join they can do like any other business does (like F1) merge with or buy an existing team for its valuble grid slot. FFS they don't even know what category they are coming in at and just like Suzuki will want special rules to suit them. Remember unde the Suzuki rules, Ducati would now be allowed 9 engines.

MOTOGP » CRT MotoGP class 'a big success'


Profx - Don't fear really don't, the only thing I have to ask myself is why bother? why are you convinced that the Bridgestone is made for the Yamaha, since they changed the construction who won more races? Although by looking at the writing English is probably your second language, which hats off to you for learning a second language, I will ask again when under none control tyre was the closer than it is now, when was the racing ever closer than it is now? Maybe 2001. There has always been a preferred tyre manufacturer, right back to when Goodyear was in there, Michelin were and won every title between 1991 and 2006 as far as I remember. No other manufacturer won a race between 1995 Crafer and 2004 Tamada on Bridgestone.

PCXMAC, I,m funny? Your either drunk, having a laugh, Bridgestone and Motogp made stand in just your vest in the middle of the paddock, or plain daft. Just wondering how getting rid of the control tyre (which I hate but it makes sense) would help the teams financially? At the moment none of them pay for tyres, if it was opened up to a free market just a few would get tyres through a technical partnership, we know that would already be the rich teams as you put it. So that leaves the poor teams having to pay for tyres. As I said tell me under non control conditions the racing was closer, remember Michelin in the early 90's with their A and B grades? who benefitted from the A grade? Only Roberts went for the Dunlops, which Cadalora started using a mix before dumping Michellin altogher. You really need to get those rubber things out of your mind.

MOTOGP » CRT MotoGP class 'a big success'


The problems is the tyres for the CRT, they cannot get the heat into them. Thats why this year uncle Loris has got 3 compounds instead of 2. The CRT will have medium and soft rear tyre, the factory bikes will have medium and hard. PCX-mac or profx, if we did go back to multi tyre formula, can you tell me a time when that produced close racing?
