MotoGP Vs Moto2 (800 / 1000 Vs 600cc )?

The new replacement for the 250's is shaping up in a very intresting championship.

http://www.motogp.com/en/Moto2 & http://www.rideontwo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2439 for full details and pictures.

Does anybody else think that with all the new teams and different designs allowed in the class that the racing might be even better the MotoGP class ?

It has to be said that on many a weekend, the 125's & 250 races were better then the MotoGP race, so why should this change just because they are 4 strokes ? Same engine power output and same rubber ( Dunlop ) so the racing should be tight and really down to rider talent and team set up.

Also, with riders like Dani Pedrosa not having the best of times in recent year ( not shabby, but not geat ) & his small built, can we see more riders dropping down a class to bikes that may be more ridable for them.
I'm going to stick my neck out and say now that I think Toni Ellias is going to be one of the top riders in 2010. He knows the tracks and after riding the RCV 212 the 600cc should be almost easy for him.

So what are your thoughts please?

Im not so sure, when you get the bikes all the same (R6 cup) you still get in file racing, they are so similar there is no advantage, which means when you get the best guys/gals on them there is no where to pass without a mistake from the person in front. Makes the one line - a tighter line.
If you have an outstanding talent like Rossi, they are going to run away with it.
A recent article I read from Nicky Hayden states Stoner is still a second a lap quicker than me. and thats with the same equipment. He just doesnt know how Stoner gets on the throttle so quickly.
As for taking over as the premier sport, Not while there is a Prototype development programme in place. MotoGP will always be the pinacle the riders aspire to.

I hope Scott gets a ride. I think he is made for the Moto2 class.
