Will it never end

I do not understand the whole premise of no choice for this class! How is it logical, that experienced Superbike/Sportbike riders are choosing compounds at each event, and the "inexperienced" Supersport class is then not allowed to run the same compound? And as far as cost goes -- this is not club racing. An additional tire is not going to break anybody! But if we WERE club racing we would have tire choice!

You got one thing wrong Mrs Wikle,you are club racing and im going to let you in in on a little secret. DMG doesnt give one .... about the safety of your child. If crashes bring in fans,they will have your little boy running on ceramic tires if it benefits " The Show"

I am becoming convinced that DMG has no PR, an inability to operate smoothly in an environment without a friendly/cowed press.

They need to fix their image fast or no one will be around to see things if/when the series is improved.

They are dealing with a hostile crowd in a situation that was going to be completely screwed up this season.

These kids shouldn't even have a ride. Most of them were in the Red Bull Rookies which KTM and Red Bull canned.

Why would the governing body want a hard tire? Maybe b/c they think it will slow people down. I'm not sure it will work exactly as planned, but usually that's the rationale behind using a hard tire.
