Last monday in Jerez, some MotoGP riders tested the radio communication system by the Race Direction, which could be implemented in the future. Opinions among riders aren't unanimous at this point, with Johann Zarco (Prima Pramac/Ducati) not being an apologist for this type of information vehicle during races.
In the meeting with the press during the test day, the frenchman maintained that the information on the bike's screen is already enough and it is possible to read it – preferring this support to the radio: 'I wasn't in the safety committee in the last two rounds, so I didn't I knew that some riders tested it. We can already have information on the screen on the dashboard; I think riders might be able to read the screen, even if it's very difficult and you don't have much time. But if you feel good on the bike, you can see your dashboard. So, I'm more in this direction than having information on a headset – also because of the noise of the motorcycle. Maybe they'll develop a helmet to make a headset that cancels out surrounding noise'.
