BSB-is it me?
      #42950 - 26/06/2009 17:03

Having had a rather hectic week it was only last night that I could sit down to watch the last weekends round(having carefully avoided any news sites)-Im sorry but I felt it to be somewhat boring and prosessional. The series started very well and most of the teams seemed to be competative-now its just a 3 riders(2 Yamaha and 1 Honda) series-is Camier and Airwaves that good? Or is it the fact the other teams dont have the dosh to keep up anymore? Anyone share this diverse opinion or have I got it totally wrong?

I'm with you the zing has gone out of the series even the 600 were a yawnathon apart from the odd moment only WSB and WSS seem to be delivering ATM barring the odd spark of excitement at GP. For me WSS is showing us the best racing.
I'm also a fan of MX1/2/3 and Supercross(now over) wich has been quite entertaining racing this year apart from Max Nargal checking out in the last 4 races but you get plenty of action further down field anyway, T bone Tony Caroli is aways good for a watch.
It's on Motors TV this weekend and the comentary for once is good.

I had to watch the second race 3 times, I kept falling asleep!
The best race for the changing of the lead had to be the superstock. Brogan and Sealy must have changed positions 3 or 4 times every lap.
Stangely, thats a Suzuki first, Honda second and a Yamaha third. Is the R1 not that good out of the crate or does the extra money in superbikes help or is it just a better talent of rider on it in sbs? So far in sstock ths suzuki has won 6 on the trot, fighting all the way!

I normally watch the support races was so bored with the main races I deleted them this time infact didn't even look for the BSB extra on eurosport.

It was probably the most exciting race. And I don't normally watch it.

My paddock insider who run an R1 says 'dog slow' out of the crate. Only gets faster when you spend cash on it and have quasi factory support from Yamaha Italy.....a la Airwaves
