Dorna, a gathering of very competent people, right? I wonder what triggered this time the rules to be changed? MotoGP?

What would happen if Dorna go the arse and some one else took over, thru out the rule book and left it completely open to turn up with a bike with 2 wheels as the only must have? Firstly what would people turn up with? But maybe easier to answer is would a point and shoot bike with massive...

So okay, if you were in charge of the racing what new rules would you bring in to make the sport better for 2013? I am sure you all have your own ideas on how to make the racing closer and more exciting (since that's what most people seem to want). How do you achieve it though? I'd offer my...
