maybe i should give it a try?

NICKY HAYDEN:
`It is frustrating because we have the system and it should never run out of fuel. We should always make it across the finish line. On the starting grid a light showed up and I knew something wasn´t calibrating right. The bikes have so much electronics now, sometimes it is not the guy who rides hardest that wins it is the guy who hits the right buttons on his computer.´

Yep......

poor nicky, he must be furious. It's racing, just the same with our life. Don't give up man.

thinkin bout 2009 without them....... makes me cry!
BUHUHUUUUUUUUU

So what we are gonna do next years ?
there is one more channel which is broatcast on the tv but they don't issue any of qui or warm-ups or 125 or 250 cc races..
i can't imagine that the whole year without 125&250 cc or qui .. etc..
dorna drive me crazy,firstly the races are gone in here,then the eurosport..

If it's already been posted I'll remove it, but if not, not a good read IMO.

2010: Final year for 250cc MotoGP class

28 June 2008

A June 27th meeting of the MotoGP Commission in Assen, Netherlands concluded with an important announcement: FIM, the governing body of international motorcycle racing, has decided to eliminate the 250cc class from MotoGP racing.
As of 2011, the 250cc class will be replaced with a new 600 category that will feature 4-stroke engines limited to 600cc and a maximum of 4 cylinders. Fuel regulations will call for the use of unleaded fuel that is restricted to 10 mg/kg of sulfur, down from the current requirement of 50 mg/kg.
Manufacturer’s that are interested in competing in the new class will have until July 31, 2008 to make their intentions known to FIM and Dorna Sports SL, the commercial rights holder for the MotoGP series. Open discussions will start after the cut-off date to determine more detailed technical specifications for the series.
The dramatic bump in displacement brings the second tier of the MotoGP series very close to the 800cc restriction of the premier class. It will be interesting to see how small the gap in lap times between the two classes will become: in this year’s qualifying session in Catalunya, the difference between the pole winner’s lap times in each class was only 4.5 seconds.

I think it's daft to do this but we'll just have to wait & see how it pans out I suppose.

It would make more sense if the top class were still racing the bigger engined bikes. Maybe they plan to go back to them, I don't see the switch to 800's as having been particularly successful.

Why are they doing this - I am sure Aprillia will fight it all the way and KTM
