I'd rather he just walked away, became a talking head for one of the broadcasters and never touched another bike. Walk away relatively ungimped and can enjoy his cash.
I mean, at just a tad over 6 ft tall, Rossi has looked skinnier than most of his girlfriends throughout the years.
I believe they already do it in Moto2 and Moto3. I think most adult men probably weigh at least 150, so it will help keep the majority healthier. When my kid raced a 125 with USGPRU, there was a minimum bike and rider weight rule and we had to add 20lbs. Probably harder for a kid then it would be for Pedrosa.
You guys think Yamaha needs one more rider telling them they need more power? I think he's more likely to test for Ducati, if at all. Right now he's utilizing Asian poon and super cars to fill the motorcycle void. But neither of those will be as satisfying as coming back to GP to dethrone Marquez after his 2020 title.
I thought they changed it, but don't know when...found this link. Moto2 and Moto3 now have combined weight. Down about 5 paragraphs into article. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.crash.net/motogp/feature/911647/1/gigi-time-rethink-rider-and-bike-combined-weight?amp
Confirmed: J Lo is racing at Catalunya. (Source: Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Twitter) I like how when Casey said he quit, he quit. J Lo is gonna Brett Farve this thing to death lol. 2020 MotoGP season- J Lo wild cards and wins Catalunya, the only race of the season due to Covid 19, J Lo World Champion 2020.
Maybe they just did it as a publicity stunt knowing ahead of time that the Catalan GP will be cancelled/postponed anyway
I know you're kidding, but fun fact is that the current rules specify that a minimum of 13 rounds have to be raced in order for it to even be considered a championship.
