MotoGP vs World Superbike Championship

[rallyrazz]

Which is the best series in your opinion?

[Rod Richardson]

In my opinion WSBK by far but I currently rate BSB ahead of MotoGP as a series. However Moto2, Supersports, Superstock and the 125s spark more interest in me than MotoGP1 at present...........We need Spies to reach the stage where he can get up the front and Garry McCoy on a competitive FB Corse machine...........Where the hell are you GMcC????????

WSBK has all what is needed: very nice races, much different manufacturers, more different nations than MotoGP and more riders, the bikes looks very nice to me and the differences in the top are very small.

I find IDM also a very good championship. I was yesterday at the IDM races on the Nürburgring. On 1 day, you have 8 races, 4 warm-ups and a pitwalk. There are in all the classes more than 30 riders, except the Sidecar race. There are much manufacturers, much riders that drove in a World Championship in the past and the races are very nice to see. There are 18 (!) riders form different nations at the start. This all for € 29 which is very cheap in my opinion compared to a race of the MotoGP or even the WSBK.

MotoGP is very boring the last years with only 17 riders and even 16 in Le Mans. Not a World Championship worth in my opinion. I prefer WSBK, IDM (all classes) and British Superbikes above the MotoGP by far.

The problem with the MotoGP series is the Promoter - Dorna! Too many races in Spain/Italy and too many riders from those countries. It's meant to be a World Championship, not an Ital-Spanish series.

Terrible luck for Carlos Checa....he should have won both races, Biaggi rode like the star he is as did Camier, Haga awakes and puts in a good performance and Corser gets out of the box like his bum's on fire and puts in a great performance. James Toseland was really pushing it and pushed too hard in race 2 and Crutchlow good in race 2.
