WSB for me. I think it's just more accesible - whatever that means. Maybe it's because the bikes are a little bit closer to what Joe public can buy. It's also because there are 2 races per day which is better for the viewing public.
I love Motogp too though but some of the glitz seems a bit too removed from real world racing sometimes.

BSB for me, great to watch the british riders coming through the ranks, tom sykes did a great job at brands WSB last week.

MotoGP and WSB.
There has also been some cracking British Super sport races this year.

As i don't have sky tv, worlds supers is hard to follow, BSB i used to follow but i can only keep up with a couple of championships and as I love F1 as well, I stick to Rossi and the boys on BBC.

Good thread, MotoGP for me, i like the spectacle of the full on prime events with prototype racing right on the edge of the new engine technology and gear..........

I do like WSB but keep missing BSB and anything else, mainly due to reduced coverage!

Cheers,

Shandy

I'll say BSB as I'm part of it. :D

Hoorah for Supersport fans. I work for Seton-Linxcel and one of our riders, Andy Weymouth, on an R6, is currently 2nd behind Craig Fitzpatrick in the privateers cup. We had a cup win yesterday after he managed to bin the bike twice in practice and qualifying. Top result after a difficult weekend.

P.S. Shall I vote now?

Its a shame that you only have one vote as clubbies and real road racing are head and shoulders above the two-wheeled billboard classes. BSB seems to be the worst of the lot:-

"My HM Plant Honda has been working really well this weekend, I'd like to thank HM Plant for my HM Plant Honda CBR1000RR, Monster Energy for painting my Arai helmet with their stupid logo, Spidi leathers for stopping me getting cold, Dunlop Tyres, NSK bearings, R&G crash bungs, Renthal Chainwheels, HM Plant Honda..."

Its proper naff!

BSB is run by incompetent idiots interested only in making money, they care less about the sport.
