Rossi calls for introduction of race radios

He would only get updates about what he is doing, his age and how many championships he won, so it wouldn't help him. ;)

..and every time he overtook another rider the artificial boost on the crowd feed would become deafening in his ears.

Would they use radio channel 9 or channel 10 just to keep the tease going? :D
 
You can just imagine uncle carmello on the radio ordering everyone to let Rossi through because it's good for the sport.
Dorna needs the publicity that the tenth title would generate...
 
Rossi would get all the information he needed in his ear to help him win the race but then claim Marquez was talking to Lorenzo if he loses
 
So, if they allow radio communication ...........

Which team will be the first to then setup radio communication scrambling devices around the track?

That said, maybe they should discuss it in a random rider's trailer and come up with a decision ............ invite only discussion of course for a majority decision ;)
 
It would make the excuses for crashes easier for Cal.
"the voices in my head kept telling me to go faster, so I did and crashed":giggle:
 
Matt Oxley twitter "Good news: next year MotoGP will probably have pit-to-rider comms via dashboard which will also be shown on TV. Test due at Aragon #noradios"
Save me shouting 'pit you knobhead' at the telly I suppose, hope they ban instructive contact though.
 
I have answered phone calls on my bluetooth while riding and it is destructing for sure.
I think dash communication is not a bad idea if it's limited to simple instructions as they do with pit boards and flags now. Hope they are not going to implement messy rules about what you can or can't tell to riders like F1.
 
I was of the impression that they already proposed development of a race flag info transmittex via dashboard communication already.

Other than safety directions, no other comms should be allowed.
