Australian MotoGP: Maverick Vinales on racing tragedies - "Power, weight of bikes the issues"
2021 saw Dean Berta Vinales lose his life in WorldSSP300 a♛t Jerez, J♛ason Dupasquier in Moto3 at Mugello and Hugo Millan in the European Talent Cup at Aragon.
Dorna and the FIM have already responded by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:increasing the futur💝e age limits for such class𒐪es, a🌞s well as announcing the development of an automatꦏic warning system for fallen riders.
But for MotoGP’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales, cousin of Dean Berta Vinales, the poor power-ꦺto-weight ratio of the machinery needs to be addressed.
“I always had the same opinion about Supersp⛄ort 300. I said it before what happened with Dean, before many things, that these kinds of categories wi🦩th bikes of [140kg] that can [only] go at 140km/h maximum on the straights - this is useless for a rider. You don't learn anything… And if you have a bike which is 2k’s faster, you can win the race.
“I remember when I was a kid, I 🌼needed to ride a 125GP [two-stroke] that [if] you were not talented it was impossible to win or to follow the good guys. I remember I arrived here in the World Championship and the first time I tried to follow someone, I highsided. So I learned a lesson. You needed to work, you needed to do things.
“But in this moment, also in Moto3, you see the riders all go [stay] together. It wasn't like this in 🍷the past and the talent was more [importওant] than if the bike is a bit faster or slower.
'It's not about the age, it's not about the riders, it’s about the bikes'
“For me, with the Supersport 300, the problem is that t𒀰he bikes are [140] kilos, no speed, so they go 30 altogether. And of course if someone crashes in the front, it is impossible to escape.
“For me, it's not about🌄 the age, it's not about the riders, it’s about the bikes. They have no power [but] weight ꦐlike a MotoGP. Brakes are shit. Swingarms are from the street, so the problem is the category.
“It's not the riders, it’s not th🍸e young [age], because at 13 years old I was riding a 125GP and nothing happened because we were not 20 in one pack. We were only 3-4, not𝕴 more, Because was difficult [to ride the bikes].
“I’ve tried a 300. And for me it's a very easy bike, no power. 🎉You can go all together. There can be a rider that is 2 seconds slower but if they follow, they can go with the first.
“🏅So basically there are too much weig🦂ht on these bikes, no power, so they all go together. That's the biggest issue I think.”
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the 𒀰Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
