I don't suppose it matters whether it's WSBK or Moto2 all that really matters is that he gets a good factory ride because anything else makes you look an also ran.

I hope Rob Mac has found a bag of ££££££ somewhere and a container full of bits from Italy.

Much as I like to support the underdog in BSB, £££££ and/or Factory support is needed in BSB.

IMHO Dan Linfoot is stepping up a bit too soon, I hope I'm wrong.

Ray.

Looks like Yoshimura Suzuki are quitting the other series they run in so they can compete in several of the world superbike rounds, possibly with Kagayama as one of the riders when there is no conflict of dates with BSB
