[DAVE HARRIS]

Got back from assen on monday, watched the moto gp and although I thought that the one make tyre rule was cr*p the racing was really close at assen but the moto gp was another procesion (excluding caparossi's amazing charge up the field). It appeared to us that there were more people at assen than we have seen since 1999 on race day, and the closeness of the first pack in both races was more like a 125 race than the fila first ritual of the last couple of years!

There are rumours that moto gp will have some form of tyre rule soon (although with rossi riding as he is perhaps blindfolding him is the only way to give the other riders a chance) and effectively bsb has had a one make tyre untill this year.
Perhaps the way to go is to allow all manufacturers to supply tyres BUT any team has access to all the tyres availiable to the top teams. This will allow wild card riders in sbk and allow non factory teams like renagade to fight for the championship.
Does anyone else feel that after a very ropey start sbk is improving and the racing is closer than it has been for a long time
