Riccardo's Insight on Mahindra Racing Bikes

Riccardo: GP125, the bike that we use for the Italian Championship, is a difficult bike to ride because it's a 2 stroke bike. Moto3 is a new category in the MotoGP Championship and the bike used is a 4 stroke bike (MGP3O). Moto3 engine is heavier than the 2 stroke one. You need to ride the Moto3 bike in a different way, because the bike is heavier than the 125cc bike. It has a bigger break time and you need to follow a different slip. With the 4 stroke you need to be faster around the middle of the corner on the other hand with the 125, you need to exit faster. These are the major differences between the two Mahindra bikes according to me.
