The strong controversy over the device comes to an end after an agreement is reached
For the year 2023 the situation for MotoGP World Championship will change and this is due to your new regulation. And it is that Ducati has been chasing to win this contest again since he did Casey Stonerbut the motorcycles Borgo Panigale they resisted during seasons to many of the champions.
Everything changed with the arrival of Gigi Dall’Igna when signing for Ducati who got down to business with the aerodynamic development of the indomitable Ducati. In 2019 they hit the nail on the head and introduced the output device, better known as ‘holeshot‘ that became the great protagonist of the races.
The front holeshot, which has helped Ducati control so much, will be definitively banned
It should be remembered that the holeshot is a mechanical system that compresses the rear shock absorber, shortens the height of the motorcycle, lowers the rear part, changes the geometry of the machine and prevents the front wheel of the motorcycle from rising during strong accelerations to avoid thus the so-called little horses.
The Borgo Panigale motorcycles began to be liked a lot and it is that in 2021 they worked perfectly and by activating the system at the exit of the curves, they became impossible to overtake. The holeshot became the solution to push the Ducati to the limit and make it a race winner again.
Marc Marquéz has been one of the riders who are against the new MotoGP regulations
But all these new devices mean that pilots have to handle more and more buttons. Most riders were against it, arguing that the difficulty of mastering the 270hp bikes and following the information on the bike’s screen was added to the difficulty of managing too many buttons.
Only Bagnaia and Viñales were in favor, while Mir, Márquez or Quartararo were against. Mir assured that “we are going faster, we will soon reach 370 km/h and, furthermore, it is more difficult to make a difference between riders if everything is easier. I don’t think it’s the best.”
