Sorry, I've decided the time I set aside for daily digging should be AMA related. Here is a link to the launch of Team Cycle World Attack Suzuki with E Boz as the planned rider.

Good to see Eric back, seemed like it was only a matter of time. Hope he does well enough to stay on and race all of next year.

Is this another one of the democrats entitlement programs. What an absolute joke. This is precisely why I have no interest in watching the AMA superbikes. The sbk class has been fielding the same, tired, has been riders for a decade.

Now they bring some unproductive bum off the street who was basically booted from the series 2 years ago for lack of competitiveness. Save me the Bostrom nostalgia because if those 2 ........ havn't done .... on a superbike in a long time.

Forget DMG killing this sport, the factories and teams are the ones digging their own graves.

tell us how you really feel about the boz brothers johnny! a bit harsh on the boys but i have to agree with you about the rider situation in sbk at the moment. good thing there is some serious young talent in the lesser class's to hopefully move on up soon. although i suspect a fair number of them may try to get into the moto2 class next season.

Very happy to see the Boz dynamic duo. Eric is a fine rider. If these supposed 'waiting in the wings "kids" want to be part of the show, then they need to get faster than the "old" guys. Johnny, what do you know, you rooted for the Celtics.

Yep.

Not to belabor the point, but these SBKs are supposed to be half as costly as the previous bikes and I believe everyone uses commercially available electronics systems (no more WSBK factory electronics like 2009). Every kid with an inkling of 1000cc should be scooped up in this depressed market and then put through their paces at a factory team or a factory supported team.

It makes sense that the private teams would want older proven riders b/c they need results not repair bills, but it doesn't make sense that the manufacturers would not be scouting new talent with vigor when you consider the average age of the race winners in the field. Without young, the average age of a winning AMA SBK rider is what? 34?

I'm glad to see that these guys will be able to race into their late 30s, but someone has got to find some young talent and train them to race.

Anyway, good to see Eboz is back. Kurtis Roberts and Jason DiSalvo are said to be in cahoots working with someone on a new project. I think they are both racing a WERA endurance for the same team this weekend.
