Ouch...grid size isn't exactly a concern in WSBK, but this is troublesome...especially when you consider the insane level of support they provide to the MotoGP teams.

Yamaha and Ducati learned from Aprilia. Whenever they have a new model coming, they will all pull out for a season.

Does that mean Yamaha's going to build an uncompetitive 3 cylinder machine?

This is really good news for Yamaha's championship aspirations. The 2012 satellite Yamaha team is going to go into the final rounds with a big points lead over the factory efforts.

What factory teams are left? Just BMW, Aprilia & Kawasaki, I think. Weird, cuz of those three I think only BMW has money. Then again, Kawi is not spending a bazillion $ in GP, so it can run a WSBK (albeit with what is basically a pedal bike). In fact, none of those manufacturers are in GP. Hmmmmm . . .

Ah, that's right. Too bad. With full factory support, it could probably take the pitbike championship.

....Should ParkinGO venture to Superbikes, Rovelli revealed he will likely do so with Davies before considering any other rider, potentially Marco Melandri....
boy do I think this could be a black eyed mistake....
