Casey Stoner wants MotoGP to “get rid of all” the advanced technology he feels is making the sport a championship for engineers rather than riders.
According to Australian MotoGP champion Casey Stoner, the engineers currently have too much control over the riders and their performance on the bikes. He argues that the sport should put more power back in the hands of the riders and allow them to make mistakes and slide around on the bikes. Stoner believes that the rise of technology and rider aids has made it harder for riders to make a difference, except for the braking point. Taking a cue from Formula 1, Stoner suggests getting rid of certain devices and electronics in MotoGP to allow the riders to showcase their skills and abilities. He believes that the focus should be on champion riders rather than champion engineers.
