I’m for showing an F1 crowd MotoGP’s sound and acceleration. But if the current riders are in Australia, the former racers and show bikes still need to demonstrate genuine speed from corner entry to exit. A parade lap will not convey what these machines are. Once the freight bill is settled, the real challenge is using operational prototypes properly.

It comes down to who pays the freight. Nothing moves until that is settled.

If former riders run near a serious pace, it could have its own special appeal.

The rider clash with the Australian GP is unavoidable. The quality of the operational show bikes is key.

If the show bikes run at speed, the session plan and spectator control need to be solid.

Without current riders, they should not oversell a demonstration as something bigger.

Still, hearing them at COTA would be completely different from watching a video.

If real MotoGP machines run during the F1 US GP, I want to see it on that alone.
