This stuff has been going on in bike racing for years, mainly in the smaller classes
But it still holds sway. 125's were the first to use it and it made things much better, then last year (after Marquez romped the series and used his lowish weight to max advantage) it was introduced in Moto2, but guys like redding still sufer against lighter guys as they can carry more speed leant over and accelerate slight better and tuck in more.
It lead to guys like Scott and a few others having to have insane and rather dangerous diets to stay light and this should be the MAIN reason why it is banned forver in any motorsport, encouraging that kind of actions to gain advantage is simply pathetic and should be utterly outlawed by making weight parirt totally equal to the heaviest driver, just like cameras and camera pods etc are on cars and bikes too.
its not hard really is it
