no offence....but this is a serious reply from JB.

i wonder if he could answer why F1 is banning traction control. FACT..it ruined F1....machine is always greater than man....and electronic aids became a money pit in F1....motogp hasnt learnt much from F1 now has it....at the moment it is who has got the jump on the others in terms of aids....soon it will become a case of which manufacturer has the biggest wallet......

Seems the reply doesnt answer the question anyway. no one is questioning that feedback isnt required....any competent rider can supply feed back....but electronic aids definately take the talent factor away....when riders are under pressure, they crack and make mistakes....electronic aids control the riders over reactions, thus instead of playing in the gravel traps they find themselves on the podium. RACING will be the casualty of all these aids....time will and history of F1 is evidence of this.

You know its funny, but didnt F1 take a close look at motogp and what was making it such a success......how thick can dorma be!!!! F1 was envious at the close racing of motogp. this year enter traction control and what happens...boring races, bar a few.

An average rider with the best bike will always leave a great rider on an average bike scratching their head when you introduce electronics.

Oh and if its a question of safety to whoever raised that point previosuly....the 800's with traction control are more dangerous than the 990's without traction control....simply due to the much higher corner speeds they carry. Rarely do you crash in a straight line at 350km/h....most riders come off in corners.
