I have been a WSB fan since the beginning.......was at Brands when 120,000 watched Foggie.
But now, I think MotoGP offers more competitive racing with many riders in the top ten could make the podium.
WSB is just a two horse race, with Ducati maybe spoiling the Kawasaki 1,2 ?
Let see if this year is different, but it looks like "same, same".

Was also at Brands that year too 120k people in Brands was seriously busy for a minority sporting event lol I think they capped the numbers after that year.But now, I think MotoGP offers more competitive racing with many riders in the top ten could make the podium.

I'll revise my view of WSB if we see anything different after Race1.. I went to Donnington last year and enjoyed it but it wasn't like the late 90s early 2000s were at Brands.. Went 4 years running back to back.

As much as I'd rather be watching BSB or MGP, it's great there's some bike racing back on TV.
Bugger staying up to watch it all though, so I've series linked it and I'll watch it in the morning
Is it race Qualifying & Saturday / race Sunday again ?
Start watching the American Supercross series. MX bikes but always worth a watch. That said, this season has been a slow starter with injuries etc taking people out but should make for a good race to the title come the end of the season.

Supercross is always a sort of endurance event, they race every week for months with only a week break, it is about as hardcore as it gets.
SBK has lost its way in recent years.
Best racing for years has often been in Supersport. Wont be staying up, annoying as I dont have catch up, and PI is usually a great event and racing.

Really enjoyed this weekend's racing the rules seem to have closed things up, the Yamaha's look like they're using their tyres up more than everyone else.
Toprak impressed me over the weekend he seems to have the talent that will lead to a better bike, it's going to be close between Ducati & Kawasaki especially as I can see all four riders winning this season so they'll be taking points of of each other.
I temper this with the fact Phillip Island is a unique track so it could all mean nothing
