Tried to watch a few MotoE laps today. Here's what I got from it:
The bikes are so annoyingly quiet that it makes the announcers... still speaking at a normal GP volume... seem like they're now screaming hysterically loud.
They need some serious tweaking of the audio levels 🙉

Glass Transition T° (Tg) is a heartless bitch!
Adhesion loss on a DAMP track isn't just moisture acting as a surface lubricant, but the huge evaporative cooling effect dropping tyre T° below Tg.
Air T° > 30 (86° F) = not an issue 😎
Air T° @ 20° C (68° F) = riding THROUGH Tg to heat tyres 😬

Cinque Cilindri MV at EICMA
(parallel bores = counter-rotating cranks)
Years back I contemplated a 3+1 version as the ultimate Yamaha solution... but with differential stroke/gearing. Front 3C screamed to 21K and the rear monocilindrico chuffed out of slower corners to 14K, so 1.5 F/R gearing 😈
