Gentlemen, Start your DVRs

Yes, excellent. Gives the young guns who haven't got a factory ride a chance as well. Viñales, Miller et al. But does it stifle outright performance where only the best riders can succeed? It has been said, by those who know, that only the top few, "aliens" as they are now known, could really ride the 500cc class. That was apparent to anybody who watched those races. The danger is that the bike race world will turn into a PC kindergarten where there are no winners or losers and every manufacturer, and rider, gets an elephant stamp before they go home.
