The crisis has taken its toll and major MotoGP rule changes -- desired by some (including all current MotoGP riders) and dreaded by others who believe Grand Prix racing should be as limitless as possible -- have already been approved.
MotoGP bikes will be allowed a maximum of four cylinders and 1000cc as of 2012, but it is possible and even probable that the first 1000cc bikes will be admitted for the 2011 season, sharing the track with the current 800cc machines for a single transitional year as occurred (but for two years) when the MotoGP 990cc bikes joined 500cc two strokes on a mixed grid in 2002. |
