| My understanding was that TenKate team is not factory and pi55 HRC off as time after time they out perform them. And it was Michelin that pressured HRC and others to withdraw from WSBK by threatening to withdraw support from MotoGP. They were then reminded of legal contractual obligations for 2004....The HRC factory team is in BSB, - with Michelin telling everybody that the HRC/GSE tyres were worth 8 times everybody else’s, - so yet again Michelin control the racing with some stupid notion that we spectators go to see and support a tyre team, - "oh look there goes a Michelin shod bike, come on!!!"
Oh and the new rules stink, - Honda know others are getting close for next year so they change the rules, as they are the only ones who can afford to redevelop an engine. I bet they even have one now! |
