Does MotoGP need a minimum weight rule?

MotoGP is the only grand prix class without a combined minimum weight for motorcycle and rider. While such regulations exist in Moto2 and Moto3 (and even the World Superbike Championship) to offset the disadvantages faced by taller and heavier riders, no comparable rule applies at the top level of motorcycle racing.

In Moto3, the combined minimum weight of bike and rider is 152kg, while in Moto2 it is set at 217kg.
