The minimum weight for bike only just slays me.
DORNA needs to talk to the NHRA.

Yeah, but who wants to talk to the FIM?
Seriously, there's other motorsports groups that have figured out that rider/driver weight is a parity issue.
Bike+rider minimums won't level the playing field completely, but it would make it closer.
Pedrosa may be a gifted 'starter' (or not), but it's like he's shot out of a cannon.

I thought the bikes have "start line" settings these days anyway right? Punch a button and go full throttle... although riders smoking tires ( Jorge ) and getting bad starts would seem to disagree with my notion here.
If they do in fact have electronic settings for starts, then light riders on bikes with good drive will always win out. It really just comes down to reaction time off the tree.
Anyone know the facts here?

there is currently launch control. however it will soon be outlawed.
regardless, i'm sure that pedro's starts have a lot to do with his size. and i have faith in ben in being able to overcome that
. unless maybe pedro gets healthy and gets on a fiat yamaha and is never seen again.
and if they actually go back to big bikes, this'll still be an issue.. but less of an issue. everyone involved in the series wants racing; there hasn't been enough of that since 2007.

If the starts are THAT important the factories should try and sign Rickey Gadson!!!
I bet he can learn to ride a bike through a turn.

Of course they don't need a wall between them...the midget can't see over a ruffle in the garage carpet. Out of sight, out of mind

He may not be worth so much after a season on the Honda.

And it's ON! Rossi was talking about himself in third person. This is getting serious.
We should start taking bets about what the 2010 field is going to look like.
