Wow talk about going in the right direction. Just need more diversity in drivers (Spanish/Italian and some British) and it will be awesome again.

Not many years ago there were only 17 bikes on the grid, numbers are slowly growing.

Would be nice to see a team challenge the Honda and Yamaha dominance, they've won every race since Phillip Island 2010.

Here's some diversity

Jack Miller signs for LCR


Red Bull sure like their youngsters to skip some classes... I wonder how it will work out. Good thing he is on an open Honda so he won't have a massive amount of pressure.

Needs more American riders also. Hayden is on the downside of his career. Edwards retired. Herrin is terrible in Moto2.

I don't really follow the AMA Superbike series to know who would even deserve a shot in the first place either though.

Melandri is a known quantity to Aprilia and Gresini, plus is still is pretty good form

As for PBM, not sure how they can make back to BSB considering they've never left it. Shakey Byrne won it in 2012, finished 2nd in 2013 and is leading it as the season comes towards conclusion.
