Are the BSB tracks more dangerous than some of our AMA tracks?

Very. They have won titles in the past, have been working with Suzuki for years and were contenders until the death last season, losing out to HM plant Honda at the final round. However, they have lost their title sponsorship to the Tas team who seem to be spreading from road racing to become the top Suzuki team, i'm not sure which of them is supported by suzuki GB, maybe neither, maybe both.

Cresent will not have any Suzuki support in 2011: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/s...2110-crescent-future-undecided/_/R-EPI-127412

i dont like it... Hopper is one of the best pilots out there and should be in GP.. (he's better than most on the grid atm)...plus some of the BSB tracks are bot too safe..recipe for disaster... best of luck though cause i like the dude.

Curvey are you pussying out? I thought you were cool man!

You have to try Cadwell one day, but just not in my toy

Yes, also, Worx have switched as well, they will now be a sponsor for TAS. Its embarrassing for Paul Denning, after all, he is the team manager for Suzuki MotoGP, and now Suzuki GB snubs his BSB team for someone else

Yes Tas seem to be a good opperation too, i think with Denning focussing on the motogp team the BSB setup has suffered recently, but his links with Suzuki in Japan must be doing them some favours.

I like the sound of this,though I`m not a Hopper fan and his dedication to training has been questioned in the past.But with people like Brookes,Kiyo,etc, I predict fisticuffs for BSB 2011.

John Hopkins will do laps on Suzuki GSV-R in Qatar test next month. He'll step in during '11 if Bautista gets injured

Is there a (legal) way to watch BSB in the US? I doubt its on any TV channel, so I was thinking about some kind of internet sanctioned pay-stream -- does this exist?

its on Eurosport unless TV Over there has it then no

there has been streams available via some apps and sites

wait till nearer the day for those to come available if at all

they do get made available via torrent etc

or some ppl may be kind enough to post them to ppl

Eurosport do have a net player service that you pay a monthly fee for but its restricted to Europe

just hang on and see what turns up

Hopkins may be headed to BSB. He had a falling out with John Ulrich (who is talking .... already). Its not hit the news sites yet, but I'm sure it will blow up soon.

.... Ulrich by the way.

What happened?

confirmed, he's off to BSB with cresent Suzuki. Denning says he'll be handy as a reserve if Bautista gets hurt and that he's trying to convince Suzuki to be at least 2 riders strong in 2012. Hopper will ride the GSVR in testing before the season starts apparently
