Stoner criticizes 'late' weight rule

CASEY Stoner has hit out at a change to MotoGP regulations that forced his Repsol Honda team to add 4 kilograms in weight to its new 1,000cc bikes for the 2012 season, saying its "late" introduction has caused problems in cornering.

The world champion said the team's bikes had been "developed with a specific weight in mind" and that the situation was "rather frustrating". "We already had the bike developed and then they decided to change the regulations," the Australian said. "This affects the bike."
