Course it is. If they're good enough. Ask Ray and Stacey etc. But they've not performed well enough to get the best bikesCouchy wrote: Sat Feb 19, 2022 8:17 pm Haslam, Sykes and any other number of old timers. I’m sure the racing will be good as always but it’s not a class for breeding future stars, yet people moan there’s no British riders going up to World Series.
Nah, Ray almost had a chance but not sure Stacey ever will. The most we could expect is WSB but no one really looks to BSB for their future riders especially while the old boys are usually winning. Gaz should have gone this year but is the best BSB rider good enough for the world stage ?weeksy wrote: Sat Feb 19, 2022 8:47 pmCourse it is. If they're good enough.

I like BSB as it’s usually good racing but as a breeding ground for our next world star I don’t see it.
There is no option, bikes are a minority hobby so the sport has little public support. It’ll always be road bike based series which limits the riders to WSB at best.weeksy wrote: Sat Feb 19, 2022 9:25 pmWhat do you propose instead?Couchy wrote: Sat Feb 19, 2022 9:20 pmNah, Ray almost had a chance but not sure Stacey ever will.

Why are we a nation of superbike rather than moto3?
Because it's huge here and kids start at 5. You can see all the current racers on little bikes if you lookweeksy wrote: Sat Feb 19, 2022 9:37 pm So what can be done? Why are Italy and Spain making the talent? Why is it bigger there and what can we do?
Or will the lack of general interest in public simply mean we won't?
