So there will be again a stupid showdown case. :( Is that also a idea from Dorna / Ezpeleta?

Nope its a kneww jerk reaction to Camiers domination a couple years ago! Ok it gave us one of the greatest finishes ever, but I think a whole year being decided by 3 rounds is wrong and to have on the the showdown rounds abroad a disgrace really!

I don't like the showcase either, Assen on the calendar, that's a first? btw does anyone know why Croft gone aswell?

Without the showdown in 2011, it gave us a fight for the title between Byrne, Hopkins and Hill. Now with the showdown it was only Hopkins vs. Hill... With the old points system, Byrne was champion.

Croft seems to be gone as the circuit can't give as much money to Palmer as Brands Hatch and Oulton Park. That is what they say on crash.net. Shame, because it was one of my favourite circuits in the BSB.
