Moto gp vs WSBk
I’m convinced that world motorcycle racing is facing a crossroads….how do you square a prototype litre bike series with WSBk litre bikes …which in some cases are using an engine designed initially and primarily for a Moto GP project ?
And while we all love our motorcycles and watching racing, how relevant is it now when sportsbikes make up such a small section of sales ?
Can’t somehow see much interest in watching an Africa Twin against a GS 1250, although Bagger racing appears to be enjoying some success in the land of pushrod valves…..
A discussion appears to be happening within DORNA/FIM/ Teams about slowing down Moto GP for safety reasons and track design….but how can that happen without affecting WSBk ?
Perhaps the answer is in a drastic restriction on fuel loads ?
Anyway now that Liberty are on board expect to see many more of the Hollywood glitterati strolling up the pit lane ……
