A start without a holeshot device, that's going to get interesting. That device sank the front and suppressed wheelies, basically insurance for the launch. Take it away, and clutch work and throttle precision are laid bare completely. I get why Di Giannantonio says it's scary. But this is exactly where the skilled ones separate themselves.

The same rule getting completely opposite reactions from veterans versus rookies is an interesting contrast.

Without a holeshot device at the start, what's the actual difference in behavior?

With less to lean on for controlling chassis attitude, pure rider skill differences probably show through more.

When a rule change is drawing comments about being scary, I do wonder whether it's been properly vetted for safety.

Moreira actually welcomes it, so this is clearly a rule that splits opinion depending on where you stand.

Di Giannantonio's 'a bit scary' comment is a candid reaction that only someone with real experience would give.
