Casey Stoner says MotoGP electronics should only intervene for safety, not performance.
Casey Stoner, the double MotoGP champion, proposed a compromise for electronic rider aids by emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between safety and performance in the sport.
He advocates for electronic aids to only intervene when factors like wheel spin or slide angle reach a critical point beyond peak performance, allowing riders to retain control until then.
Stoner expressed concerns about excessive reliance on technology, stating that certain electronic aids should not be used for convenience but rather as safety features.
He emphasized the need to strike a balance between rider input and technological assistance in MotoGP, citing potential issues with the over-reliance on electronics in the sport.
Stoner also criticized the introduction of Stability Control in the MotoGP ECU, fearing it could lead to performance gains through optimal slide angles at the expense of rider skill and control.
