Interview with Michael Jordan about his AMA racing team

[Ginger]

Truth is that he could go develop the parts on his own if he believes they're that important. It would probably be stupid expensive, but that's sort of the whole point. The factories spend a lot of money developing their go fast stuff and naturally they may not want to sell it right away. The only way to get around it is to develop yourself the way Ten Kate does in WSBK. In order to make that financially feasible you'll have to sell the parts in the aftermarket.

But if it's going to be that way why even bother racing Superbike? I mean, Superbike for years now has only really been a competition between about 3 riders. I don't even watch the races in full anymore, I watch turn 1 for a crash and the last 2-3 laps unless there's a gap already.

Unless you stifle the rules, and kind of adulterate the fact that it's superbike, then there's not much of an alternative...
