Carmelo Ezpeleta single unit proposed speed limit



Not long ago in Autoblog Moto recover an interview with the newspaper AS published a couple of days before the Malaysian Grand Prix. The interviewee was the always charismatic Carmelo Ezpeleta , a man who seems to have come to its senses and works harder than it looks from the outside. Only he knows what he will have had to do to make MotoGP move on. I say this as an exercise in empathy, a little easier after reading the recent remarks he has made. The point is that this recovery had a domino effect, the words jumped from one medium to another in a matter of days and in just a week had crossed the pond. Well, in CycleNews thought that when in doubt, better to ask themselves, and the number of last week published a very interesting interview with Carmelo - the need for any translation, ask him -.

The director of Dorna back to speak clearly, openly, without hiding his intentions. The questions are in the same direction at that time: the future of the category. But promises us another measure that can be, at least, interesting as it is the only unit for all bikes and a common speed limit on all engines, talking, of course, the real MotoGP.

The real situation is this: the cost is very high MotoGP is a technological battle is not going nowhere. Okay, we are an electronics company that is ... but this is the World Championship for bikes and riders. But the goal is not the technology, the main focus is racing and fighting between drivers. "
It's nothing new, as you know are two measures that have already been adopted in the British Superbike and are getting the 2012, is one of the most anticipated seasons. However this has already led to many lost the essence of competition in the premier class.

The best drivers will remain with the officers, according to Corrado Cecchinelli the gap between a CRT and the official limit is shortened if the electronics. We have already begun this process by imposing 81 mm, but the problem remains of 1000cc, which have much more power than the 800cc. We'll see how it goes next year, but we have to solve the problem. We made ​​the proposal and are awaiting responses, it is clear that we want to put a cap on economic power in 2013, we are thinking a rev limit and a single unit for all, these are the points at which we work. "
Better late than never , some time ago that some manufacturers suffer to remain on the grill or have fled, as I happen to Suzuki or Kawasaki. Furthermore, the current world situation, we saw how even the world champion team - Fiat Yamaha - had trouble getting sponsors for next season. Something must change and we must accept change as soon as possible to enjoy the races.
