<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>In this regard there are two kinds of riders in MotoGp, those that have experience from little or no TC on a top class bike, and those without that experience. Guess who have the advantage.
And try again if you think that those with recent "no tc" 250's experience have an advantage in anything.
The power is what really separated the big bikes from the smaller. That's what the new riders have respect for, and also why they state the bike with TC was so "easy" to ride. The expect a monster but get a big version of their 250. Taking TC away will bring back some of the beast in MotoGP and it will most definatly make it harder for the rookies. I think that is a good thing. The MotoGP shouldn't be the 250's big brother, it shoud be it's daddy
But this is not really about who gains and who doesn't. Or shouldn't we belive Stoner when he says it's all about throttle control, even now with the current TC. But there are others with a lot more experience in that game and they will certainly not be at any disadvantage.
But don't worrie about him, he will mange as he allready have so much ecperience on the 800 and being at the limit riding it, so will the riders comming this year, but if a ban arrives next year, don't expect that years rookies to do as well as the rookies in the recent years.
one minute you guys are all saying how TC is such a "big bad influence" then you are saying but its only so for a few!! ???
If by the reasoning TC is so influential .... then by that same reasoning its removal will also be influential ...... or am I missing the fairytale part that comes into the equation ??
You are just convincing me more and more that all the TC "naysaying" is a ploy by disgruntled fans to recover some sense of self justification for their unforfilled dreams.
and yet I think you have touched on the reality of what was the big change in motogp ........ 990>800 ...... I think that has had far more effect than any dropping of TC or ABS or Engine Mapping or going back to "manual control" or whatever ( and TC and ABS can be done in engine mapping, just clock for any rapid "abnormal" engine rev. fluctuations and adjust the power out accordingly ) .
