MotoGP<\/a> over how it positions Moto2 and Moto3 in the wider paddock eco system.<\/p>\nThis includes a shift to remove Moto2 and Moto3 from pitlane at race weekends to give more space to MotoGP, as well as more emphasis being placed on premier class world titles during broadcasts.<\/p>\n
Other rumours have also come out suggesting Moto3 could only race in Europe going forward, though Carlos Ezpeleta has shot this down as \u201ccompletely unfounded\u201d.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Dorna world feed during the Japanese Grand Prix, the company\u2019s chief sporting officer said: \u201cI think that everybody knows how important Moto2 and Moto3 are for the world championship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s probably fair to repeat it more often lately, because there seems to be a huge amount of rumours – some of which have impressed even me!<\/p>\n
\u201cLike not racing at every event or racing on Saturdays. Completely unfounded, I would say.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe repeat behind closed doors but to the public what an asset they are to the championship to have the stars of the future pointed out to the fans so quickly and introduced to the fans so quickly.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoto2 and Moto3 are and will continue to be an intrinsic part of the championship.\u201d<\/p>\n
On how lower category world titles are acknowledged against MotoGP championships, Ezpeleta says these will always stand in the record books but admits the nature of these categories has changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorld championships are world championships, and all the ones that have been granted will continue counting for sure,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just how you work around the wordings and the specifics.<\/p>\n
\u201cClearly, there\u2019s been a change in tendency because of how the championship has evolved into what it is now, which is bigger than it\u2019s ever been and more important globally.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd right now it\u2019s clear that all the riders in Moto3 their ultimate target is to get to MotoGP, and the same for Moto2.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore you would have riders who were successful in a certain class but they would not move into the bigger capacity classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s not the reality now and it\u2019s truly hard to point to a year where that stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n
