Biggest brakes allowed at all MotoGP circuits
The Grand Prix Commission has announced that the biggest 340mm front brake discs are to be ཧallowed at all circ♐uits on the MotoGP calendar.
Previously the l🐼arger brakes were only 🍰available at three specific venues.
The moꦛve will be welcomed by riders such as Valentino Rossi and Cal Crutchlow, who have struggled with braking issues.
"The Commission unanimously dec🍸ided, in the interests of safety, to modify the regulation concerning the front carbon disc brake sizes in the MotoGP class," said an FIM statement.
"Currently the regulations permit two sizes of front carbon discs; 320 mm discs must be used at all circuits except at Motegi where the use of 340 mm discs is 🐲mandatory and at Montmelo and Sepang where use of 340 mm di༒scs is optional.
"Following a recommendation from the Safety Commission and with the support of the brake manufacturers it has been🥃 decided that the use of 340 mm disc brakes will be optional for all circuits with the exception o🌃f Motegi where such use remains mandatory."
The next MotoGP event starts at Mꦚugello later this month.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi c𝕴ome and go. He is at the forefront of the S🌠uzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
