MotoGP Review: A Busy Day
With debate ongoing about the future specifications of 250cc, and then Rossi taking a fall on the first lap at Assen, it has been a busy few days for Toby Moody

So there is lots of chit chat over what the new 250cc class is going to be, with a proposal coming forth at the weekend for 600cc four-cylinder, four-stroke engines to replace the 250cc twin cylinder two-strokes.
Many have thrown their arms up in horror at such a possibility, especially as many say it is pie in the sky to make a four-stroke engine for the outline figure of 200,000 euros - 300,000 euros a bike. Quite how this adds up against the 4.5 million euros that the Polaris World team are paying this year as a total budget figure, one cannot equate!
