    Interesting you say that Jimbo. I'm exactly the same. Just can't focus on WSB at all and can't, for the life of me work out why. I'm the same with touring cars, enjoy a good BTCC dice but world touring cars.........? Nothing.

    If you watch the super slo mo cam footage from the front you can see the rider reach out and unclip the sensor with his left hand, then a joker like smile can be seen through the visor as he watched the afflicted bike spin past him on the deck! :D

    The same story can be seen with kio in bsb he can't get on with the bikes now the electronics have been cut back, wasnt too long ago he was the top dog on the HM plant machine!

    I'm pondering now... I think it's track association, bsb for obvious reasons, motogp as that's all I've watched for years, wsb they at places I don't know?

    yeah, but it's only a couple. The vast majority are well known tracks. To me it is a bit like what motoGP should be like. Tight competetion, global tracks, international riders and full grids of reklatively equal bikes. If MotoGP got that formula down it would be ace. As long as they ditched the electrics. I mean they set up the bike by telemetry for different parts of a track! Your bike should be what you wheel out of the pits and thats it.
