anybody else of the mind that in this Country we are doing something very wrong as none of our riders have made it in Moto GP? The only one that looks to be able to get there is Bradley at the moment. All that try come out and then end up in SBK or BSB.

Might be wrong but I think the trouble is that the earnings are too good in BSB so the riders aim for that rather than do the years and learn the ropes through 125 and 250 GP.

The hope was that MotoGP going 4-stroke would allow a step across from SBK but none of the riders have been able to consistently compete with the front few who all come out of 2 stroke game.
