MotoAmerica / Road America

The bike would get Euro covid.

 

Logistically challenging for sure...

they can choose cams favorite track in Europe. He’s got a bit of experience over there from rookies cup, Red Bull academy and 125gp

 

Forgive my pessimism, but I highly doubt they’re gonna blow half a seasons budget and risk the health of their back to back champion rider just to go finish 23rd in some random wsbk race...

 

I am pretty sure MotoGP has a no wildcard policy this year. I would not be surprised if the same applies to WSBK to help keep the paddock size down.

 

Cam is the new, less insane, Mat Mladin. He is just gunna keep racking up AMA/MotoA titles until some new kid comes along and retires him. He wont ever go to WSBK or GP full time.

FWIW this isn't a dig at Cam at all. He's a very talented rider, who's very smart on and off the track.

Roberts, Gerloff, Paasch and Landers seem to be our only international hope.

 

It’d be nice if MA could become successful enough to be a viable race series for American talent to stay in. I like MotoGP or WSBK as much as anyone, but I’d much prefer to have a killer national series in addition to the big shows.

Imagine if in SuperSport, we had Roberts, Paasch, Gillim, SDK, and Escalante battling it out every race weekend. Or if Landers stepped up to SuperSport instead of RBR. If we still had Gerloff, would the last round have been a lot more interesting with GG and Beaubier battling it out?

I know I’m basically asking for the AMA glory days to come back. That sure would be nice.

 

MA isn’t the issue. They are more than capable, as is WERA. They are not the limiting factor or the deciding factor as to why a lot of talent isn’t remaining in the series. It’s purely an economical issue.

 

Yeah, I know. My phrasing wasn’t the best and I don’t think it’s MA’s fault. I’m basically asking for bike sales to return to pre-‘07 levels, which is a tall order. Especially now.

 

Did you see that pink elephant and feathered hippopotamus flying around?

 

Do we start a new thread for Round 2 MA at RA or just leave this one roll?

 

start a new one

 

Everything I read say bike sales are through the roof! I guess production is down so total sales are not at the pre 07 level?
