We're not going to burst into flames, but all the same, as the Quebecers say: it might go well. What ? The 2020 MotoGP season. Barely two months ago, the specter of a poor season hung over a paddock which was really wondering about its future. But boss Ezpeleta faced the coronavirus storm, showed governance that deserves to be repeated in many other places. And as everyone has put their effort into it, here we are: a Spanish Grand Prix could really launch the hostilities of the year, in Jerez, on July 19. The most skeptical turn away, which is a good sign. So Neil Hodgson!
Before being a journalist commentator for the BT Sports channel, --Neil Hodgson was WSBK World Champion in 2003. Not so bad then, and that gives you the right to the chapter when you ask for an opinion. Doubtful while the crisis of coronavirus destroyed everything in its path, the Englishman is now starting to believe it. On MCN, he thus reveals a conviction: “ MotoGP will survive everything »
Good news ! That being said, this 2020 season will be full of surprises. And for good reason : " drivers aren't really good at taking a long break. You are very bored. There will likely be a lot of crashes as riders will suddenly be full of adrenaline again. »
“This short season will also determine the next two years”
Concerning double events planned on the same circuit over two successive weekends, Hodgson said: “ normally this would be a problem, but if pilots have to work non-stop from August to December, it should be like this. Usually this would be difficult. But now everyone I talk to says they'll accept the situation no matter how »
Hodgson also sees the problem from a particular point of view, rarely discussed: “ you are now going to have a rather short season. This short period will not only decide World Championship placement, but also what a driver contract will look like for the next two years. » More Hodgson assures: “ It will definitely be worth a closer look at this short, focused season. »
It will be recalled that before Grand Prix in Jerez, there will be a test preliminary on the same route, probably July 15, way to get back into rhythm and automatisms...
"It's a racing incident that could've been avoided if Márquez had just rolled his throttle a little bit."
So that clears up Argentina…
But there's SO much more to come 🙈#TheGreatestYears pic.twitter.com/Gy2HT7N8tf
