I can only take so much whining before i snap. I just cannot wrap my head around anyone who does nothing but ..... and complain and constantly telling me how bored they are. If you ....... bored, find something that doesnt bore you. I will just go ahead and make predictions for the next 4 races. Stoner fans will be happy, Rossi fans will not, Curve will be bored, and Lex will continue to push for spec racing, then say he didnt..
I'm the one who theorized that reckless pursuit of motorsports ideology creates "blue skies" vs. "spec fairness for all". If I lament the false dichotomy, do you suppose I'm dumb enough to sharpen my pitchfork and pledge allegiance to one side or another? If I'm forced to choose between two bad solutions to a problem that doesn't even exist, I don't play.
Entertainment is not always sport, but sport is always entertaining. If MotoGP isn't entertaining, it isn't sport. What makes GP unsporting? I guess it is a matter of personal opinion. Imo, the fans are kept at arms length to protect sensitive technologies that don't really serve any purpose. The technical regulations encourage useless technology, but the manufacturers support the regulations b/c they create an exclusive club. The exclusive club gives MotoGP its brand identity. Doesn't sound like racing, does it? Predictably, the racing has deteriorated, and manufacturers wonder if exclusivity is worth the price tag.
You ignore MSMA indiscretion b/c your mission is to combat spec racing. Someone tells you "blue skies" is the answer so you write blank checks for "the solution" even if the solution is actually the problem. The bigger the problem gets, the more people it pushes into the spec racing camp. Once you go spec, you almost never go back. You're inadvertently a one man army for the cause of spec racing.
I support stricter rules in production bike racing b/c I understand the production market and the underlying concept. Production means available for sale to the general public. Barriers to participation by private teams should be minimal. Furthermore, production racing should represent a small club of manufacturers who actually have the means to mass-produce good products for customers. Production bike racing can be construed as a form of consumer protection. Unfortunately, prototype racing is where new brands/companies are born so the MSMA must maintain control at all costs to eliminate competition. If Nicola Romeo were still alive, I'd ask him if he regrets doing business with Enzo Ferrari.
I've suggested that MotoGP use horsepower limitations, and I've suggested numerous methods to avoid 4-cylinder rules and 81mm bore limits. I'd even be willing to stay with the 800s if they raise fuel capacity to 24L. I don't care for spec racing, but I'm not going to support the status quo either.
