This just in:

Returning a phone call to Roadracingworld.com, John Hopkins said, "I haven't heard anything official. I haven't been told anything official, and I haven't been sent anything official so far. Bob Moore and his team are working on taking care of the situation."

(Editorial note: Bob Moore is Hopkins' manager.)

Just thought of this...Isn't there a rule that requires a certain amount of bikes on grid to run a series???

What does it cost? Will it survive?

I dunno... be interesting to find out... but shit... they could always just adjust the rules... I seriously doubt they'd go... sorry.. no motogp this year... we needed 2 more bikes according to rules...

speaking of that... fuck'n WSBK has like 5000 bikes start the race... it's awesome....

long live wsbk! is motogp failing really that bad of a thing? wsbk's rules are much more favorable towards pushing top notch technology into our hands. suddenly i think the likelyhood of us seeing a gsv-r 1000 and rvf 1000 in the next few years has risen greatly.

yes... cause WSBK only has 1 race in the us!!!

honestly though... I would HATE to see MotoGP fail... I don't want any motorcycle class to fail... we don't see enough races here in the US as it is... and with out motogp... it'd be even less... AMA having no factory support isn't a good thing either imo... that'd leave WSBK as the only road racing league with factory support... right?

I do think WSBK is more entertaining than motogp has been the last couple years... even the 250's are more exciting... but I still love MotoGP. what would be awesome is see WSBK merge with Motogp... but it'll never happen... the only reason people stay in WSBK is $$$... and with MotoGP being all about prototypes... the cost isn't going down...

what motogp needs to do is get rid of the fuck'n electronics... most riders don't like them... so what's the point? limit speed? obviously that's not work'n...
