MotoGP bosses increase minimum weights for 2012 and 2013

[ via BSN ] 16 Dec

MotoGP bosses have rubber-stamped new rules concerning testing for 2012 and have increased the minimum weight limit for 1000cc bikes from 153kg to 157kg in 2012 which will then increase by another three kilogrammes in 2013 to 160.


It was agreed that riders who did not qualify for the race based on their time in the qualifying practice can qualify if they achieve a time at least equal to 107% of the fastest rider in the warm up. This is an addition to the previous regulation which only considered free practice sessions.
