Fair points and very possibly correct hypothesis regarding H & Y's motivations for their stance too.  These 2 have always lobbied hard and successfully to ring-fence their own advantages through policking the technical regs to suit their own agenda and stymie any direction that genuinely levels the playing field..... and for far too long (IMO) Dorna actually aided them in that process rather than actually challenging it for the good of the Sport. I'm hopeful that with the increased power Dorna are getting as a consequence of the better racing (itself a consequence of Dorna finally managing to rein-in the electronics etc.) - that we will see Dorna taking an ever-stronger stance towards insisting on implementing change that is always improving the competition, and not kow-towing to any Mfr. I still loathe it when I see statements like we have here "we cannot make any technical changes without the approval of the MSMA".  WHY NOT?  Consult them, fine - but it makes absolutely no sense to allow ENTRANTS to take POLICY to a Series.  None.  Come on Dorna - you've made some good steps - strap on a pair and play hardball with the Mfrs..... none of them want to leave and give up the fabulous brand marketing and product placement hours and positive marketing that MotoGP provides - esp. when they know they leave behind all their big rivals to get even more benefit from their absence.
