Startig with this year, the FIM Road Racing World Championship has replaced the 250cc class with a new 4-stroke class called Moto2. The concept of this new class revolves around the spec engine and electronics supplied by Honda. Chassis and suspension is free and that convinced specialist frame builders to construct chassis for this new class. So we have Suter, Moriwaki, RSV, Tech3, Speed Up, Promoharris, Scott, Bimota, Pons Kalex, TSR, BQR-Moto2, MZ, ICP, FTR and ADV chassis for more than 40 riders.
The result, as much as I loved the 250cc class is just something else. I compare it with the Turismo Carretera series from Argentina to which "european" based WTCC or DTM look like an absolute borefest. Neither series have the stars like Rossi, Stoner or Pedrosa or on four wheels Ekstrom, Scheider, Tarquini or Muller but the drivers/riders they have produce a nice show.
