Yeah, I don't blame Yosh or Suzuki anymore than their riders. They just have a well developed program and bikes, two very good riders and obviously truck loads of cash. All of that helps. I think the other teams may have this or that but they do not have all of it together as well as Yosh/Suzuki. If Merlyn Plumlee couldn't get the Hondas on the podium who the hell can?? I agree with Giannis, don't hate the player.
But if FIM is already prepared to throw weight on the 1098s (as they have in British SBK) this early in the season to keep things even you would think the AMA over the last umpteen years would have thought to slow down the Yosh/Suzuki train a little so the others could catch up. I'm not particularly fond of dumbing the class down to the level of the most stupid student just to be fair. But if the FIM (who puts on the best show on 2 wheels) can figure the program out what does that say about the mindless AMA. What? You have to sell the whole damn program to an outside entity just to prove to the world that you're stupid and you cannot effectively and successfully run your own races?? It's kinda sad.
I have said it before... I have actually turned off an AMA SBK race that I recorded half way through and went in the kitchen and did dishes.
Dishes! Cleaning the kitchen was more exciting than seeing the 30 second gap Spies/Mladin had on third.
I agree with Gman again... sounds like weak ass Superstock racing to me in '09. Guess we'll just wait and see.
