Carl Fogarty makes his feelings clear after MotoGP’s tyre pressure rule overshadowed the Czech GP weekend.
Carl Fogarty has criticized MotoGP’s front tyre pressure rule after a controversial finish at the Czech Grand Prix sprint. The current regulations dictate that riders must maintain front tyre pressure above 1.8 bar for specific percentages of the race, with penalties for non-compliance. Marc Marquez had to slow down to comply, allowing Pedro Acosta to take the lead temporarily. Despite concerns, Marquez managed to regain the lead and avert penalties, raising questions about the rule’s implementation. Even Francesco Bagnaia faced issues with tyre pressure warnings that later turned out to be erroneous. Fogarty joined critics of the rule, expressing strong disapproval on social media. The former World Superbikes champion has previously voiced concerns about MotoGP’s reliance on technology, comparing it to Formula 1.
