With Moto2 replacing the previous 250cc class and now forming part of the three classes of the MotoGP championship, you may think it was time to settle for a while and limit changes.
But it seems everything is being done to keep the championship lively and get more teams on the grid, and so the 250cc class rumour has raised its head again from here at the MotoGP Assen.
According to one journalist, we will see the return of a four-stroke, 250cc class to the championship.
There’s no information as to whether this would be an additional class or whether it would re-replace the Moto2 class but it’s more likely, as we originally reported, that the 125cc class will be replaced by these 250cc bikes and will be called Moto3.
So far this year there has been plenty of discussion on the classes of the MotoGP championship and their respective technical specs.
The MotoGP is to go to 1000cc from 2012 and a big name in the sport, Jeremy Burgess had earlier thrown the cat among the pigeons by saying that there is a case for 600cc engines in the premier class.
He was saying that there is no evidence that the strategy of 1000cc bikes makes the sport anymore viable than it currently is.
