Here in the UK its more bad news. The Britsh Superbikes are now also to use a control tyre.
I dont support the use of a control tyre in these championships and I'd hate to see MOTOGP go that way.
What makes this decision worse is that the British Superbike have chosen Pirelli. While I dont have any axe to grind against Pirelli, I think that give the majority of the racers were using Dunlop and a few on Michelin only and only 1 team used Pirelli's, I cannot see why the BSB went for Pirelli. This means that neither Dunlop or Michelin have a development platform for superbikes.
A sad day for BSB and I dont think we will see any record laps this season from BSB.
