MotoGP's Toprak Razgatlioglu has scored points in four of the last five races, but mostly by finishing rather than fighting for position — 11th in Hungary aided by six retirements, and a single point in Germany as the last classified rider.

Speaking as someone who's watched this up close, I get the discomfort with a system that hands out points just for finishing. Still, staying upright to the end is a skill in itself. Toprak is clearly struggling this season, but cutting scoring to the top 12 alone would kill off the thrill of a chaotic race too.

Seven riders crashing out — I'm curious what was going on with safety out there.

As a beginner, honestly it's just scary to hear how many riders went down.

Seeing Toprak scrape together points however he can still makes me want to root for him.

Back in our day just finishing got you applause. I guess the bar's just gone up.

Capping points to the top 12 sounds like a downgrade. It'd just kill the fun of a chaotic race.

Honestly Toprak's last 14 points were pretty thin on substance, so the debate itself seems fair.
