MotoGP rookie Diogo Moreira believes the move to 850cc bikes will massively soften the jump from Moto2, just as Triumph's new engine makes the intermediate class faster.
But speaking to Visordown ahead of this weekend's British Grand Prix, LCR Honda MotoGP rider Diogo Moreira highlighted another consequence of the rule change.
From his perspective, it should make the notoriously daunting leap from Moto2 into the premier class a little less intimidating.
For years, the jump from Moto2 to MotoGP has been regarded as the steepest learning curve in world championship motorcycle racing.
An 850cc MotoGP bike will still be one of the fastest racing motorcycles ever built.
