Are we going to a MotoGP with one single tyre brand like World Superbike? All present MotoGP riders came together last Saturday just before the Brno race day for a meeting, chaired by Dorna’s CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta with one single subject: corner speed.

Tech 3 Yamaha rider and collaborator with Michelin, Colin Edwards giving his opinion, said: “There are a couple of issues; we’ve got bikes reaching the safety road now and that’s because of the corner speed. Tyre development has outgrown the tracks that we use.” He also said: “We need to engineer something for better safety and also for a better show. I’m all for making it a bigger spectacle, but two guys out in front with a twelve second lead after six laps? It’s a joke to me.”

What will be the good solution to solve this corner speed problem and bring more safety for the rider at MotoGP? Again some technical changes to the bikes to reduce top speed and corner speed? Or only one singe tyre brand? And what about world’s best engineers and technicals?
