Really fascinating article about the CRT teams. Talks about the BMWs struggles in WSBK too.
VERY good article....
makes me wonder for a second though, if they were to trade more fuel for less electronics what kind of limitations would get exploited and how much of a variance we'd see when all is said and done...
well, it was kallio... ;)
i'm sure JB was right about the CRTs
Well written and well researched article. It will be an interesting season next year for sure. And I agree with the article in that I don't see the CRT teams ever making the factory teams uncomfortable.
Well considering all the non factory teams ride slightly different but current motogp machines and can't compete ( in a relative sense... I know Sic has a factory bike etc. ), then there is no way you can ever expect a CRT team to be up front. I do have a feeling we'll see some rocketships from CRT teams. Perhaps competition for a healthy Pedro off the line and then wipe out half the field when the bike can't corner.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Suter-Framed Turbo 'Busa...
I think it's just a limp dick attempt by DORNA to fill the grid so there's more than 15+ bikes on the grid. I see the CRT bikes as just cannon fodder, maybe fighting for the last point paying spot or two in the pack. Guess we'll see.

I thought that was the generally publicly stated fact....
Yeah, I think I was just stating the obvious. Bumped my post count by one. [laugh]
