Due to the recent financial crisis and the withdrawal of Kawasaki, MotoGP (IRTA, MSMA,Dorna and FIM) began to discus about saving money. To do that some surprising measures has been taken.
The first thing is that an engine will last for two races from august 2009 and it could be extended to three races in 2010.

To help the manufacturers the race weekend could be reduced to two days only.
In 2009 the friday's morning session will be scrapped and sessions of the saturday cut off to 45 minutes instead of 60.
Also many of the post race tests in europe will be abolished but Brno and Catalunya tests will certainly be saved.

Other rules will be discussed on the opening event in Qatar, like the one bike per rider project...

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
