The MotoGP motorcycles of today are faster than ever, as demonstrated by their top speeds and record-breaking laps on most of the circuits on last year’s calendar. However, Valentino Rossi believes that caution must be exercised regarding the levels of risk.
Il Dottore told FAZ, quoted in Motosan.es, that the level of the premier class motorcycles has grown significantly: ‘There has been a lot of evolution in recent years. Ducati has raised the level significantly. The motorcycles are really fast‘.
While MotoGP continues to be at the forefront of technology, technique, and speed, the increase in performance of the motorcycles has important disadvantages, as Rossi emphasized: ‘Motorcycling is always dangerous. MotoGP has to carefully consider where it wants to go. One cannot exaggerate‘.
