He seems to be at least a top ten rider, but I'll have to wait and see if he's a top 3 rider.

This is pretty cool. WSBK is going to gain tons of popularity in the US this season it seems.

:idk:All you have to do is set up the suspension and pick a tire??? All you have to do? Have any clue how adjustable these WSBK spec bikes are? They have electronics too just not to the level of MotoGP.

I just didn't want you to think it was easy...:twfix:

But you have all of the same if not more chassis adjustments in GP.

Imagine trying to pick springs and damping, while sorting out what gear set you're going to use, setting up engine braking, and tuning the engine.

And I wasn't really saying setting up a wsbk was easy, just a lot easier than a GP bike.

I will give you that RSV, but the WSBK guys don't typically have 8 factory technicians for support either. Just a rider and some crew to try and figure out the setup. Maybe one suspension tech. So simpler yes, easier...I don't know. More rider dependent that is for sure...

good on him!

i agree that the hondas had better step it up. Cant let a rookie show them around... oh wait...

Is it possible to buy an online subscription to WSB? Similar to the High Res subscription you can buy at MotoGP.com? I honestly hate to say it...but....MotoGP is losing it's luster for me...the technology is cool...but the racing has SUCKED for the last couple of years. (Give or take a race or two...Laguna Seca last year being the one off exciting race.) It seems like all the GOOD racing is in WSB. :idk:
