In recent years, MotoGP motorcycles have changed significantly. The most visible changes are the increasingly abundant aerodynamic elements on the fairings or the height adjustment devices, but there have also been great evolutions in terms of electronics. Randy Mamola spoke about this aspect that sometimes generates controversy.
In an interview with the website Motosan.es, the former rider reflected on this technological “boom”: ‘It depends on how you see it. Has it improved the races? Has it made them faster, more technical, more interesting, and balanced? We have had some very, very close races, but it has made things very difficult for the riders themselves who compete‘.
In terms of technical innovations, Ducati has been one of the most pioneering manufacturers, and Mamola praises the Italians: ‘I don’t want to say negative things about Ducati because there is nothing negative, the negative thing is if you are not on a Ducati. The amazing thing about Ducati is that all riders fight for the podium‘.
The American also said: ‘The wings and electronics, this is the path of technology. There also has to be a set of rules, which I think already exists. Now it is part of our culture and racing‘.
