Maybe the word Prototype should be left out of the statements about this class.  How does this vary from the superbikes with a view to calling it the pinacle of Motorcycle racing.

Brings me to one of my favourite quotes.

As an engineer (it is nicer to win) with a prototype Because MotoGP is "Free'r" 
it allows I to use all of I's imagination and to anticipate Evolutions of the future
The main difference with a superbike
you race with a bike that is already manufactured.
so you can not do an extreme development.

But what would he know ?

hi Wiggysan, I purely think of that's conceivable if Valentino feels depressing throughout the time of 2010 and that i´m advantageous Masao Furosawa and group will do each thing to steer away from q4. It won´t be undemanding on account that he presented Lorenzo equivalent words, and he introduced Ben Spies a 365 days merely before predicted, yet he has the full 2010 season to attraction Valentino and convince him to retire as a Yamaha rider. So in step with probability Furosawa san will ought to enable pass Lorenzo, or ignore approximately Spies or provide Valentino a plenty deserved variety one rider prestige. He incredibly does not want to be the single that enable Rossi pass someplace else. to end this he additionally desires a splash push via their sponsors. edit.- super links via the attractive racer. i replaced into no longer conscious what the Italian press has been asserting. (no longer that it´s the inevitably the reality, however) in step with probability that´s the reason of Yamaha to pursuit the two Lorenzo and Spies. We´ll see....

That little lot is tailor made for boffins,I can just see them beavering away at their drawing boards; seems as if Dorna are more interested in them than racers,perhaps there will be a world ch.for Scientific moto
g.p. and the racing will be virtual reality.
