Bring back real bikes that the rider has to interpret and not be told how the race will be run…

All be gutted ? Maybe, except the idiot(s) who put the software in…. and if they didn't know, they should be looking for work programming go cards for train stations. haha

The rider is the one named in the official sanction and the one that takes the consequences. But, of course, he would have no idea what ECU or software is in his bike unless it feels appreciably different to him at the controls. I am sure the team will still pay him for his points and apologise to him. They will all be gutted.

Or any other items on the bike that he/she hasn't personally fitted to the bike ?

If not, then why should the rider be named as "you were found to using…"
I reckon the team should be mmade to pay the rider a penalty fee to compensate them for
being personally named as the responsible one.

As far as HD's go, they ceased to have any resemblance to the essence of the bike with the start of the 8 valve "heat exchanger" equiped engines….
Engineering sounds into the engine to try to make it sound like a potato potato…. WTF….

Comment on MotoGP hits Argentina this weekend for Termas de Rio Hondo showdown by Rocky Stonepebble https://www.mcnews.com.au/2025-motogp-hits-argentina-this-weekend-for-termas-de-rio-hondo-showdown/#comment-578698 Wed, 12 Mar 2025 20:07:29 +0000 https://www.mcnews.com.au/?p=519642#comment-578698 In reply to Trevor Hedge.

Well done! And you do realise I am not slagging Australians. I am slagging EVERYONE not British!

Sadly, your man Roger Lane-Nott isn’t just a sub commander, he is also a far-right extremist whack job.

Roger Lane-Nott:
You sub-human australian types may not recognise this name, but trust me, many argie-bargies do.

Rear Admiral Roger Charles Lane-Nott, CB is a former Royal Navy officer, who served as Commander Operations and Flag Officer of Submarines. He joined the Royal Navy in 1963. He was appointed Commanding Officer the submarine HMS Walrus in 1974, of the submarine HMS Swiftsure in 1976, and of the submarine HMS Splendid in 1979. As Commander of HMS Splendid he saw action during the Falklands War. He went on to be Commander of the 3rd Submarine Squadron in 1983.

In retirement he became the Formula One Race Director & Safety Delegate in 1996. He was sent to inspect Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez. His hosts asked if he had ever before seen Buenos Aires. He replied:
"Only through a periscope."

And THAT is why you and the rest of the scum that inhabit this planet wish they were BRITISH!

65cc was good for 35 horsepower?

Mike Tyson does track days?

15l tank? F*CK. RIGHT. OFF.

Looks like the version we're getting is less neutered than the Euro spec one too.
It'll need a exhaust though – mostly to improve the lean angle apparently.
