Traction Control Starting Grid
MotoGP riders practice starts at the end of every practice session, and it appears that they can use much more throttle than you'd think for a 250-plus-horsepower machine. Electronics are no doubt used to keep wheelspin and wheelies in check, leaving the rider's main job to modulate the clutch enough that the engine does not bog.
