Grappig, er is nog niet één fabrikant die zich hier positief over heeft uitgelaten. Toch gewoon lekker doordouwen.  Wordt niks, deze klasse hebben we al. Wordt tijd dat die Espeleta afnokt, hij breekt de hele tent af. 16 of 17 deelnemers in je topklasse is gewoon diep, diep treurig. Terwijl de SBK boys juist een nog groter startveld krijgen nu BMW en Aprilia gaan deelnemen.
