Ok as these are all hot topics of contention, which rule do you think is hurting the sport the most? For me, it's gotta be the lack of testing. Testing just reduces the chance of riders of figuring out the "sweet spot" set up for their bike, in turn reduces how many riders would get a chance at being competitive outside the "alien" four.

Close second gotta be the 990 to 800 rule. This deffinently hurt more than it helped in my opinion. Rather than an all around "race" (riders making up for lack of turning speed with straight away power), the championship is reduced to who has the balls to brake super late and carry a hell of a lot more speed into the turns. It's become all about corner speed and electronic control of the bike to maintain it without losing the rider.

Just my opinion, what do you guys think?
 
Duhrna making rules is the one that hurt MotoGP the most!

going to 800cc hurt the most. it is an underlying cause in the lack of testing, single tyre and engine
limitations.
 
Ultimately its a little from column "A", and a little from column "B".

Al summed it up though, the switch to 800s precipitated many of the problems which followed...

I think that limiting the prototyping is the worst, because that's what the fomula is all about.

Limiting the number of tyres you can use, there's got to be safety issues there.

Limiting number of engines, that will cut down the number of runs made in free practice and qualifying.

Right on with that assesment Rog.
 
Engine size and 6 engine rule.They are the most expensive,so.....
No change for 2-3years after 2010 and tires with bad carcass.Then maybe at least the developement of engines could slow down.
