Really fascinating article about the CRT teams. Talks about the BMWs struggles in WSBK too.

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...

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.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Well considering all the non factory teams ride slightly different but current motogp machines and can't compete ( in a relative sense... 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 think it's just a limp dick attempt by DORNA to fill the grid so there's more than 15+ bikes on the grid. 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.

Yeah, I think I was just stating the obvious. Bumped my post count by one.
