Rookie star 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pedro Acosta is among the riders against the possible introduction of helmet radios in MotoGP.

Aside from the philosophy that a rider should be left to make their own decisions, and tech🐈nical issues with communicating clearly, the Spaniard also has safety concerns about hardware inside the helmet.

“I don't believe so much inꩲ these things. I like to be on my own and think my own things!” Acosta began. “Also, our head is constantly moving, and even if you move a phone quickly, you can lose connection.

“I don't really like it and I do🅘n't really believe in that. I tried it in Qatar… 

"At the end, if it's inside the helmet, you can say whatever you wan꧟t, but if something is touching your head, if [something bad] happe﷽ns there will be the question mark, was it… something that was in the helmet?

“Also, I don't b🌄elieve in cameras in the [leather] ♓suit. But OK, you break a collarbone, you put a plate. The head is something important.

“When I see how it is in F1, it's only [inside] ♈the ear with a cable. But the thing that we were trying has something [vibrating behind the ear] and it's touching the bone.”

Told that soon-to-re⛦tire friend Aleix Espargaro is a big radio of radios, again helping with development of the system during Monday's Misano test, Acosta quipped: “Yeah, because he goes home!”

Reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia said he would rather pay a fine every♊ week 'like Michael Jordan' than wear a radio.

However, while two-way communicationဣ remains controversial, most riders back the concept of a one-way system between Race Direction and the riders for urgent safety messages.
