The subject was posed by Yamaha and his approach recalls arguments put forward by Andrea Iannone about his Suzuki. The idea is that when the MotoGP comes after the Moto2 during the Sunday program, the grip of the track is no longer the same as that on which work was done on the bikes on Friday and Saturday during the testing sessions. So, to keep the same bases, moving the Moto2 event would be worth considering.
A debate openly launched by Yamaha which therefore includes the deposit of Dunlop tires during the Moto2 competition as one of the countless causes of its problems which are no less numerous. Lynn Jarvis, let us recall, argues as follows: “ This is just my personal opinion, but I think it's just weird that we race all weekend with one format and then we reverse it on Sunday, and I think we should at least follow the same format all on the weekend, one way or another. It depends on TV and many other factors, but why choose another variable on race day?
Which format you choose ultimately depends on what's going on, but without being an engineer, it seems like it adds an unnecessary variable. The theory is that it's because MotoGP is more complicated to set up, and we needed more time (to do it), but maybe we need to look again if this still holds true today. today ».
At Ducati, we heard of this initiative from the representative of the tuning fork brand, and the response was not long in coming. Davide Tardozzi was thus intended to be very clear: “ for us, the schedules must remain as they are, we do not see the need to change. It's a view of some people, I haven't heard of any official proposals, but as far as we're concerned, we don't see the need. ».
