Hell....I bet those on the MotoGP grid who truly enjoy a good "race" look at the Moto2 races with envy. People knock the spec bike racing format but I think it kicks ass. Level playing field....best rider wins. What's not to like?

And don't bore me with the "MotoGP is a technology showcase" argument. If I wanted a tech showcase, I'd visit a lab. I want to see good RACING.

It's embarrassing to the sport to put a rider with no real qualifications to compete at this level out there on a satellite bike that is notoriously difficult to master. Why not allow club racers on privateer bikes like the AMA does or something?

He's gonna get FLOGGED.

The tech lab argument is toothless, when the hell do we get the tech? As a rider a homogolated production series does a whole lot more for us since the manufacturer HAS to sell what they race.

Moto2 irks me on different levels. Its a chassis prototype class that on paper should be pushing frame and suspension tech to the limit. In practice? Everyone went conventional. Hell, they aren't even developing the bikes they have considering a couple folks did midseason swaps to suter. If it was gonna be like this why not race box stock cbr600rrs?
