The question was sent in by Steve from Victoria in ജAustralia,🌊 with former grand prix rider and British champion Huewen answering: “Another great question. I think MotoGP's got headroom to grow, as we’ve seen Formula One do in recent years.

“Losing168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Valentino Rossi, a global superstar, was a blow whichever way you look at it. He was probably💜 bringing in 50% of the audience back in the day, the same as when we had other worldwi♓de icons like Barry Sheene, or Mike Hailwood.

“But the product itself still seems really good to me. Where will MotoGP be in 10 years’ time? Hopefully not electric. And I think that we've pretty much proved that by go▨ing the sustainable fuel route a🦩t the moment.

• Bezzecchi:🧔 Valentino Rossi still fast, ‘kicked my arse!'

"I can't see us moving away from that direction at the moment. In fact, from a personal point of view, I could see ♔t🌞he rest of the world coming towards us on sustainable fuel.

“But you can't 𝕴know exactly where technology is going to go. People will be beavering away now 🎶in white coats somewhere coming up with tomorrow's new ideas. It's going to be really interesting.”

ltxcn.top MotoGP editor Pete McLaren added: “We know MotoGP is going to run 100% non-fossil fuel from 2027 but at the moment everytಌhing else is up for grabs.

“I don’t actually think there will be huge technical changes in the next five-year contract with the manufacturers. Perhaps a ban on the rear ride-height🉐 device. Maybe more restrictions on the aerodynamics, but I don't think they'll get rid of them completely. Whether they'll change the engine size, we’ll have to see.

“But it will definitely be internal combustion engines, running on non-fossil fuel. And they will have a choice of either 𓆏Bi🌌ofuel or eFuel for that.”

Huewen said: “Either way, Dorna have been clever in covering the electric angle with MotoE, b💛efore someone else did. But in my view batteries are too heavy at the mome🎃nt, they don't last long enough, which is why it’s not called a grand prix.

“But the fact is Dorna has got that option for the future, which I think is very clever. And it’ll be good to see engineering wise what happens with Ducati coming 🍌in this year to take over as the single MotoE manufactꦅurer.”

“The firs🐟t official test with the Ducati is going on as we speak," McLaren said. "Unfortunately there’s been some rain every day, but they still broke the old Energica lap rꦑecord late on day two.

"So it is quicker, but we still don’t have a clear idea of e🌜xactly how much qui✃cker.”

The l✱atest MotoGP team launches, Huewen's fear that television coverage is in decline and this weekend’s Portimao test are among the other topics being refereed by Podcast host Harry Ben🧜jamin.
