First off, I can’t believe BMW backed out of WSBK. When I heard that, I was quite shocked. Melandri has been doing well with it, and now you have a bike like the S1000RR that isn’t showing anything? They made the HP4, which I thought was a statement that they are in it to win it when it comes to the best-of-the-best superbikes … but now they’re not even involved in races. Strange.
It’ll be cool to see Nicky in WSBK if he goes. I enjoy WSBK just as much, if not more than, MotoGP so it’d be great to see what he can do there.
I said it on other forums, I’ll say it here … Crutchlow (just like Dovi) doomed his career.
Or crutchlow is out to make a lot of money ASAP. You get paid more on factory rides. Because there is no way in HELL he honestly thinks he can challenge for wins on the ducati.
