Several MotoGP riders have expressed their disapproval against capping the number of Spanish and Italian riders on the grid in the coming years.
In a recent interview, Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta suggested that there should be a limit on the number of entries from Spain and Italy to enable a more diverse field of riders. While the MotoGP chief has always insisted that the premier class should be the home for the ‘best riders’ and maintains the stance to this date, there are now some nuances in his thinking as commercial factors come into play.
