Summary

MotoGP’s push to ban the front holeshot device might be just half the answer, according to Pedro Acosta, who warns that removing only the front device could backfire if the rear one fails to disengage—making turns impossible. He’s calling for a full overhaul, not a partial fix, as the current system feels unnatural and unsafe. Other riders like Bezzecchi and Quartararo agree, urging more testing before any drastic changes, as the real solution may lie in eliminating both devices to truly enhance safety.
