After 38 years of absence, Finland will be back in a Grand Prix calendar which will be made up, for the first time, of twenty meetings. A taste of what 2022 will be like and its 22 Grands Prix with the addition of Brazil and Indonesia. But let's come back to 2020. The new KymiRing route emerged from the earth and the Finnish forest, it was even discovered by the test riders of the six manufacturers involved in MotoGP, and it left a mixed impression to say the least. Even the future local of the stage Mika Kallio expressed his concerns. The man responsible for safety and approvals for the FIM, Franco Uncini, appears calm…
Franco Uncini is a former 500cc world champion, and as such, he has all the legitimacy to give an opinion on a track. And regarding the new arrival of Finland, he does not expect any problems regarding the completion and certification of the KymiRing Finnish.
Unlike the Red Bull KTM factory rider, Mika Kallio and several other critics, the security manager END is convinced that the next Finnish Grand Prix expected for August 12, 2020, will be held as planned. “ We already carried out a test there, in August, and we now have ten months to carry out other constructions » declared the 500 1982 world champion on Suzuki at Speedweek.
An estimate that can already be described as optimistic because Rock recalled that from the end of October due to the long nights and low temperatures for almost six months, no construction work can be carried out.
Pilots also complained about the track design. Most corners should be taken in second gear in MotoGP. There would be no opportunity to overtake, and we fear a boring walk. But Uncini sees things differently. “ Ayrton Senna used to say: “There are no corners where you cannot overtake”. For us, there is no reason to change, unless it is a matter of security ". The 64-year-old Italian, however, added: “ you can do a lot of work in six months »
