Moto2 : 14 seconds slower ...............?

This is very intresting : http://www.bikesportnews.com/articles/article.html?id=MOTOGP_INDY_SCHWANTZ_TESTS_BLUSENS_MOTO2_BIKE_1

Now granted, the bike is still under development and Mr Schwantz is 50 years young, but to be " only " 14 seconds slower then Dani Pedrosa's pole time is belting !

Lets looks at the facts :

New bike.
Poor set up
Un known track for the rider
Rider of 50 years old, not raced for 15 years nearly.

I think with a younger ( dare I say it, fitter, faster rider ) and time to get the thing set right, the Moto2's are not going to be much slower then the 800's.

What are your thoughts on this matter? , and the fact the KS#34 is still a legend !!

I think your last bit sums it up. 34 Legend.
I still hope to see someone put in a 250 just to see how quick they are in the corners.
