Title: Are 2012 MotoGP CRT teams DOA? Post by: Spidey on July 07, 2011, 09:24:50 AM http://motomatters.com/analysis/2011/07/07/is_motogp_s_claiming_rule_teams_a_doomed.html (http://motomatters.com/analysis/2011/07/07/is_motogp_s_claiming_rule_teams_a_doomed.html)
Really fascinating article about the CRT teams. Talks about the BMWs struggles in WSBK too. Title: Re: Are 2012 MotoGP CRT teams DOA? Post by: zooom on July 07, 2011, 11:07:30 AM VERY good article....
makes me wonder for a second though, if they were to trade more fuel for less electronics what kind of limitations would get exploited and how much of a variance we'd see when all is said and done...

i'm sure JB was right about the CRTs Title: Re: Are 2012 MotoGP CRT teams DOA? Post by: fastwin on July 07, 2011, 12:37:14 PM Well written and well researched article. It will be an interesting season next year for sure. And I agree with the article in that I don't see the CRT teams ever making the factory teams uncomfortable.

I know Sic has a factory bike etc. ), then there is no way you can ever expect a CRT team to be up front. I do have a feeling we'll see some rocketships from CRT teams. Perhaps competition for a healthy Pedro off the line and then wipe out half the field when the bike can't corner.

I see the CRT bikes as just cannon fodder, maybe fighting for the last point paying spot or two in the pack. Guess we'll see.
