Yes,that's it.Listening to the commentatorss on Eurosport yesterday,they said something about the teams could now enter their Ducati's in the Supersport class so the bikes can still be raced.

Did think BSB are still after the ''Yamaha Pro Am LC'' days of racing / spectical so have come up with this formula.

Did hear from ''someone in the know'' for 2022 that the Ducati Factory were reluctant of V2's runing in Supersport as they couldn't win. I think the ones currently in the pot are running Dealer support only.

Having said that the TOC is getting very expensive if you can / want to run at the sharp end. Mind u Superstock and BSB is getting a bit silly £'s wise.

Wonder if the TOC finishing is anything to do with its running it's course and also the UK MD changing ?

Haven't seen any official Ducati UK statement yet either.

Sadly it will probably be a bit crap due to the bikes costing £11,000, I may be wrong but with Yamaha Pro Am the bikes were owned by Yamaha and racers were invited to ride them.

I don't know why BSB doesn't have a SS300 support race, it'd make a lot more sense.

I remember when the one make Harley Davidson XR1200 series supported BSB.

They should have done something even more silly, something to match King of the Baggers in AMA.

Like a K1600 series.

There was a Harley 883 series in the 90s, they were feckin horrible to ride, a 15 year old 250LC was quicker and handled a lot better.
