Stella, You don't have to tell me about the parents side of things, My own parents have supported me for the last 25 years. I didnt say we dont have the talent its a case of the powers that be dont do enough for these lads, as is done in france,Italy etc with backing from goverments and major sponsorship deals from large national companies.

This bsb is all centred round the superbike's end of story and as Hilary points out not everyone wants to ride a superbike. Their is no natural step upwards they have 125 then straight into 600s, what did the mcrcb do a few years ago drop the 250 from bsb. And replace it with another 600 based series, why is there a need for two superstock classes because they want them to eventually move to superbike.

If they had any sense at all they would reintroduce 250s, but they've no idea so I cant see that happening.
