Ride-height devices 'not safe'? 'That sounds like Honda trying to get it banned'
Could the new generation of MotoGP ride-height devices be causing stability issues under braking? Pol Espargaro, one of those to fall at Turn 1 during Saturday at the German Grand Prix, felt it is 'making the bike more unstable, which is not safe'.
