[QUOTE] Prediction time. - MIC and USSB will run FIM Superbike, SuperSports and Superstock rules. Sooner rather than later. And it's not too late to just do that for 2009 - It'll split into being a USSB series, Daytona, and a couple of Moto-ST races. DGM won't fade away but they'll end up with basically just Daytona. And Daytona will become even more marginalised than before. - The whole of the MIC series will be on Speed. The only DGM race on Speed will be Daytona. - It really doesn't matter if there are official factory teams or not, just as long as there are well funded, competitive teams. You may well see the factories officially distance themselves from their main teams. Monster Energy Kawasaki continue to race, but Kawasaki USA don't. Makita Suzuki not American Suzuki. Joe Rocket Honda, not American Honda. Yamaha pull out but ????? Yamaha keep racing. In the UK you race BSB. In America, USSB races you![/QUOTE] I might be willing to bet real money against the first three not happening, you up for a little "sport?"
