168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Casey Stoner has criticised the sprint race format in MotoGP, claiming it creates a playing field which unnaturally impact𓆏s the grands🌺 prix.

MotoGP introduced the new format of a sprint race on the Saturday of each round last year, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia winning the 2023 title.

This year, Bagnaia trails 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin by 24 points heading into this weekend’s season-finale. ๊But Bagnaia has won🦄 10 out of 19 Sunday races, with Martin winning just three.

Martin’s brilliance in the Saturday sprints could prove to be a crucial factor if he converts his large lead into a ๊first championship. He will be confirmed as champion if he wins the🦹 sprint on Saturday in Barcelona.

But two-time champion Stoner told GPOne🔯: “Motorsport is supposed to🐻 be the best riders on the most difficult platform to drive or ride, and at the moment MotoGP is too easy.

“They don’t have enough control over the bike. The engineers are making too big 🐟of ꦇa difference.

“Then 🐻they put the sprint race which reduces the amount of track time that they get to concentrate for the lonꦛg race.

“We are not supposed to have  aworld championship with miniatures, it’s supposed to b🅷e an endurance event,

“It’s basically like trying to say ‘okay, we’re going♔ to have a marathon, now 10 laps is not a marathon, it’s 43 kilometres!’

“It’s gruelling, very hard work. So we need to have stability👍, the world championship is supposed to be over a long distance race.

“You can’t h𝔍ave people that are very good over a shortღ period of time, they can run the soft tyre. You have to think about race distance.

“Also, you [should not] get points for these sort of sprint races because the points are supposed to come on Sunday when it is ❀the main race.

“It’s very difficult to set a bi💦ke up. So that you can be fo𝔍cused throughout the entire race.

“At the moment, we are putting such focus on one lap, i෴t’s very important to get through the Q2 from the first practice.

“So this stopꦿs everybody from thinking about r♈ace set-up, getting everything done for that.

“Then, 𝓰I think, this is why we see on a Sunday that there’s quite a big spread between the riders because not everybody’s ready for the race pace.”

Factoring in electronics and aero, Stoner claimed: “In general, I think the MotoGP bike is now one of the easiest motorcycles to ride 🥂in the world.🐎”

Stoner won the Moto⛦GP titles in 2007 with Ducati an𓃲d 2011 with Honda.

His victory with Ducati was a false dawn for the manufactur𝓀er. They struggled for the next 15 years without a championship despite signing Valentino Ro✨ssi and Jorge Lorenzo.

Bagnaia ended that hoo♏doo in 2022, but Stoner has been a regular critic of modern technology on MotoGP machinery.

He has🧜 now lambasted the two-year-old format which could aid Martin taking the championship from Bagnaia.
