I'd say that it's inevitable just because it's the type of novelty ........ Dorna like. However, she'd have to be at least credible at the Petrucci/Parkes/DiMeglio level and I don't see any reasonable prospect of a female rider performing at that level for a few years yet.
I suspect the first female MotoGP pilot isn't even in CEV or RBR yet.

i think Maria Herrara might be fast enough for a regular Moto3 seat. looks faster than Carrasco to me. honestly I don't follow CEV really so I have no idea whether there are more girls than her and if so, if they are as fast. but I think the level of competition in CEV is quite high, and Herrara fared quite ok at Jerez (P17 as a wild card, fighting around P12 most of the time). I don't really see a woman in MotoGP within the next 5 years at all, but I think they might start showing up in Moto3 soon, maybe Moto2. but MotoGP is still far, far away.

I wouldnt say its too far fetched.
Just a few yrs ago people would have scoffed at the notion of midgets in GP.
I full expect to see Tyrion Lannister on a factory ride after he's finished eradicating all the Starks.

I don't see it for at least 2 to 3 years. It's still a very physical sport. I don't see anybody coming up through the ranks yet that could compete (even mid-pack) on 1000cc bikes.
