When Triumph took over from Honda as the exclusive Moto2 engine supplier in 2019, the class also received a new MotoGP style Magneti-Marelli ECU.

Pol Espargaro says high lean 'slide control' function should be added to MotoGP's unified electronics to avoid the kind of huge highside he suffered at Valencia.

Alex Rins' crew chief Jose Manuel Cazeaux explains why the biggest contribution made by MotoGP electronics is no longer in the areas of traction control or anti-wheelie but in understanding what is happening inside the bike.

The FIM MotoGP Stewards panel has rejected a protest lodged by the Sky Racing VR46 Moto3 team against the Leopard Racing entry of Jaume Masia.

New 2019 Moto2 ECU expected to include launch control, torque management and engine-braking control… but 'probably' no traction control.

Since MotoGP winter testing, Valentino Rossi has repeatedly emphasised the need for Yamaha to improve acceleration via the electronics. "All the Ducatis are better in acceleration, because they are more in front compared to us in the electronics," the Italian said in February.

"Imagine if I take lean rate and tyre temperature. I put them together and output a 'doped' lean angle to the ECU"

"Ride-by-wire and a proper engine braking strategy will be in from the beginning. Anti-wheelie, traction control etc will not"

"We realise that electronics-wise there is a big jump from Moto2 to MotoGP" - Danny Aldridge, Technical Director.

It took a long time to happen, but team bosses admit the compulsory single ECU has been good for MotoGP.
