big tent. It is something similar<br />
to the Rookies Cup set-up<br />
but we’ll make it a bit more<br />
‘modern’ or impressive. We<br />
still have the same problem of<br />
finding space.<br />
From the beginning of the<br />

used at Jerez has there big<br />

brakes and suspension at the<br />

the bikes in the event of a<br />
crash?<br />

then the biggest danger is<br />
being hit by somebody else. If<br />
you are hit by a Moto3, Moto3,<br />
MotoGP or MotoE bike then<br />
it is likely you’ll be in trouble.<br />
Regarding the bike itself then<br />
a crash will see more damage<br />
than say Moto3 and that is<br />
why we have five spare bikes.<br />

The FIM have looked at an<br />
E series before…but for me<br />
technology has evolved so<br />
quickly in the last two-three
