Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna Sports S.L, has made a speech at Wrooom 2010 in Madonna de Campiglio this week about the amendments introduced for the 2012 MotoGP year.

“During the MotoGP tests next month in Malaysia, we will hold meetings with the manufacturers to finish defining the important details for the regulation of MotoGP from 2012, as well as the tank capacity and weight of the bike. If we arrive at a consensus we could have the technical regulations before the start of the Championship.”

As reported in a meeting last December, the representatives who govern MotoGP (IRTA, Dorna and MSMA) and the Grand Prix Commission agreed to amend the maximum capacity of motors in the premier class to 1000cc for the 2012 season. It was also announced there will be a limit of four cylinders and a maximum cylinder bore diameter of 81mm.

With reference to the possibility of an earlier implementation of the rules in 2011, Ezpeleta stated: “At the moment we are not contemplating bringing it forward, but if the manufacturers ask for it altogether, we can evaluate it.”

The manager of the company which has the rights to MotoGP, is positive the new rules will enable an idealistic number of 22 competitors to be reached with the introduction of new manufacturers, and will not need Dorna to go in search of fresh constructors.

“We will not and have never tried to convince anyone to come and compete,” says Ezpeleta. “They should be interested in coming themselves. We speak with everybody from all around the world, but never send anybody to convince a manufacturer to come and compete in our Championship.”

Switching to Moto2, Ezpeleta announced the entry list of squads that will make the grid of 39 racers for the 2010 year will be confirmed soon.

In the 125cc session, where technical regulations will remain stable until 2014, Ezpeleta does not see any amendments in the short term.

“We will see,” he states. “For the moment the category is in good shape, so if it continues in its role of introducing new riders from around the world, this is good. If that changes, we will talk to all those involved – as we always do – and seek a solution.”
