24 bikes?

What is the logic behind limiting MotoGP to 24 entries? Surely it's better for the sport to have as many entries as possible? This would give lesser teams and newer riders a chance to shine. How else do new teams and riders get a break?

You could still limit the race to 24 bikes but have 30+ trying to qualify. Do the big manufacturers fear private teams would turn up and go faster? I suppose you could end up with no Kawasakis ever qualifying.....

There is no logic to it at all. Dorna want to turn it into something similar to F1 and think that having two-man teams and all the rest of the nonsense they have pushed through is the way to get more public interest- like declaring Paton and Team Kanemoto persona non grata.

Private teams do turn up and go faster now...

Personally i would love to see that good old Repsol Honda train like Doohan/Criville/Gibernau but this time with Rossi/Edwards/Bayliss. (wishful thinking, i know)

I'd like to see the teams limited to, at most, 2 riders, but definately allow small 1-bike teams.

Two bike teams are best, but I see no reason why private 1-bike teams should not be allowed to enter. I concur with the thought that Dorna are trying too hard to be the F1 of motorcycle racing. Well, we don't WANT THAT!!!!
