The introduction of a new stability control system to the electronics software all MotoGP teams must use has been met with a mixed reaction from the grid, with championship leader Marc Marquez among those opposed to it
The reception to the introduction of a new stability control system in the unified electronics software for MotoGP teams has been mixed, with Marc Marquez, the championship leader, being among those who are against it. Some riders see it as a practical addition that could facilitate their performance, while others, including Marquez, are wary of further control being ceded from the rider to the computer. This new system operates by decreasing engine torque and power upon detecting the rear tire sliding, akin to traction control functioning when it senses the tire spinning straight. The ability to regulate the sliding of the rear tire during corner entry has developed into a vital aspect of modern MotoGP racing due to technological advancements leading to longer wheelbases on bikes. While some riders, such as Fabio Quartararo, view the new system as advantageous, riders like Marquez and Pedro Acosta remain skeptical, emphasizing concerns about compromising the skill and control of the rider in favor of electronic aids.
