In motorcycling, as in many other sports, fan opinions can sometimes be extreme. This was criticized by Loris Reggiani, following the divided opinions on the outcome of the MotoGP season.

The former rider noted on social media that, in his view, Jorge Martín’s (Prima Pramac/Ducati) title was not fair – considering that the point system should value race winners more.

This season, Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) won 11 of the 20 main races, and he and Martín both won the same number of Sprint races. However, the Spaniard was more consistent and claimed the title.

Reggiani criticized the fundamentalism of some fans, citing past examples: ‘What I truly find hilarious is reading those who say «it’s fine the way it is». Of these, 80%, or maybe more, are the same ones who said in 2015 that [Jorge] Lorenzo deserved the title because he won more races than [Valentino] Rossi […]. For them, Lorenzo’s fall in Misano didn’t matter, unlike Rossi’s zero falls. For them, this is what consistency is: Valentino and/or anyone representing him (in this case, Pecco) is always wrong, and the others are always right, no matter what happens. They are called ultras. They exist on both sides, and they make me sick in both cases’.
