When the start procedure changes, years of instinct get reset in one go. That's painful for veterans, but a tailwind for fearless young riders. I built my own career on making up positions in that first instant off the line too, but if the rules change, everyone starts from zero. Worth watching how this plays out at Assen.

Just one change to the start procedure splitting opinion this much really shows how deep racing goes.

What exactly changed in the new start procedure?

I think it's connected to the holeshot device change, so the timing of the launch should change.

A rule that narrows the experience gap might, in a way, also be aimed at boosting fairness in racing.

For a start procedure change to stir up this much debate, it must be a rule change with real impact.

The view that it favors rookies must feel conflicting to veterans who relied on years of experience as their edge.
