MotoGP Vs Superbike challenge in the desert

MotoGP Vs Superbike challenge in the desert

The challenge of the MotoGP riders and those of the Superbike is becoming a reality thanks to Dorna . Carmelo Ezpeleta, in fact, realizing that the winter break at the end of the world is too long would shorten it by entering a match is not valid for any championship.

The date chosen should have been identified in the first ten days of January in Qatar at the Losail circuit.

The idea is still in an early embryonic stage but the formula that is emerging is that of a 4 hours in pairs . The bikes chosen, with the exclusion of prototypes, would Superbike, but rather would say derived series prepared because the technical regulations could be less restrictive. It is also thought to a simple rev limiter to prevent some home can be groped to build a super-monster.

The crews would simply couples already formed in their respective leagues , so only by way of example, Rossi and Lorenzo , Marquez and Pedros in, Dovizioso and Iannone against Rea and Sykes, Davies and Giugliano , etcetera.

The race would start from day to finish at night , along the lines of the famous Suzuka 8 Hours, although at Losail must choose carefully the date and time because in January the temperature decreases rapidly at dusk and could become a problem for adherence.

The idea, however, is sensational because, icing on the cake, since there is nothing at stake except a substantial award of arrival - it comes to $ 500,000 - the parterre de roi could be further pushed up with the entry of some wildcard.

At this point there is no longer any limits to the imagination: it could be the game Casey Stoner, or even two grand old men like Max Biaggi and Troy Bayliss .

We find the idea fantastic, fantastic as they were in past races as the Imola 200 . There was an atmosphere of celebration that we do not find in any other league. If Dorna manages to organize it really the long winter with no races will be a thing because you did the world begin to talk about the '4 hours'.

It appears that Marquez, asked about it, is very enthusiastic and see Rossi and Lorenzo would run along just great.

It's too late to see it built in 2016, but the idea is phenomenal. And Dorna has the power to achieve it. We can not wait.
