    Dorna has taken a 5 year contract to promote BSB. There's been all sorts
    of rumours about what this might mean from expanding into a European
    championship to world wide TV rights. TV coverage in Japan and Aus is
    thought to be important given the riders from those countries. It's hard
    to imagine Flaminni allowing Dorna to turn it into an alternate WSB so
    maybe this is a standoff. There's plenty of potential in there for
    conspiracy theories!

    What's good about it in the short term is the stability it brings. BSB
    has hung on a knife edge financially each winter for years which makes
    it hard for the teams to plan and get sponsorship. It also means that
    Dorna are likely to sell TV coverage to the BBC (or someone else) of
    MotoGP and BSB combined.
