There shouldn't be traction control, or launch control, or any other form of rider aid.

Motorcycling is the most stripped down form of motorsport there is, where 80% of the speed comes from the rider. They're heading down the path of F1, where some programmer back in the pits decided who wins or loses, and that's just fucking boring.

All you need is man + machine + road

110% agree! It's what makes it so entertaining to watch, and it's brilliant to know, that it's possible for any rider on his day to take the win (to a degree). The speed comes from the man not the machine.

If thats going to be a 2 bike team next year, they really need another Eddie Lawson or similar helping them out.

Poor bloody Kurtis, having to do all the development etc himself - Thats never going to work.
