Yeah Josh Hayes has been my favorite for a long time, well since I started watching and he was running Honda 600's. Shame Honda wouldn't give him a Superbike to run on but oh well he is still my favorite rider.
Eslick did good and I think he is going to Superbike next year.
Speaking of the world circuit, I heard that Yamaha is putting Herring up to Superbikes next to Hayes next season to help him build his skills to go to MotoGP, I thought that was pretty cool thing of Yamaha to do.

ya, i like that yamaha takes care of their guys and how they all work together. look at ben spies (yamaha wsb, tech3, then fiat yamaha), cal crutchlow (yamaha wss, then tech3), josh hayes and eugene laverty working on set up together for miller, josh herrin moving from sportbike to superbike with yamaha. they seem to really take care of their riders. we'll see where they go with josh, but i hope its a long way.

Its unknown if Eslick will be riding for Richie. I'm going to say he will and Richie will fill the Sportbike class bike with another rider. But...... big rumor that Tommy Hayden is going to be looking for another ride for next year. If thats true I could possibly see Danny moving to the Yosh team.

AMA ended with a bang. I will admit, during the season I lost some interest. I still would like to see more than Suzuki (90%) on the track, but that last race, was AWESOME! I also was on the edge of my seat. I guess Josh is going to stay to defend his title, but Conrice said, like to se some of these guys in WSBK, WSS or Moto2. Maybe AMA will do more in 2011 to get the fans back. Does anyone know why they dropped VIR? I wonder if that race would have taken placed how would it have affected the NJ weekend? Hope 2012 will be a continual improvement for AMA & Honda come back!!!

I think theres actually more makes of bikes then ever. We have BMW,KTM,Kawasaki,Suzuki,Yamaha,and EBR. The only thing missing is Honda,Ducati and it would be awesome to see Aprillia.

True there are more makes. I believe KTM raced but was only there to test their bikes. I think next year. It would be nice to get all the manufactures on the track.

News Flash:
The purchase of Infront Sports and Media, majority owners of the Superbike World Championship, by Bridgepoint, owners of MotoGP commercial rights-holders Dorna, could change everything long term but almost nothing short term. This does not mean that the two series will be merged, but it most certainly does mean, however, that the turf war rhetoric is over.
