sideup Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 After listening to Dougies and Fuji's video clip and their response to no-stop for the WCT I wondered who would really gain an advantage with the no-stop rule? A four-stroke rider or a two-stroke rider. I know the reasoning would be to ease up on the sections, but how much? If a rider can't stop forward motion who really has the advantage on a world champ type large step? Is no-stop really in the cards for 06?

spud Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Spain is for 2-strokes whereas Hawkstone Park, UK is for 4-strokes. I can't envisage any advantages with either engine because if there were the debate on the non-stop rule would not take place. However, in answer to your question, my gut feeling is the 4-stroke would do better in a pure non-stop environment. I owned a 4rt and keeping the wheels turning was a much better way of riding, jerky clutch action I found upset the bikes rythem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 is it no-stop as in stop = 5. or simply back to how it was where they were rewarded a 1 for stopping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjwhite Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 no stop slightly benefits the 2 strokes, as the bikes are much lighter they are far easier for the fiders to flick and hop about whilst holding forward momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
