7 of top ten are. Only 1 of lowest ten. Don't you agree that it, for some reason, seems like Italian or Spanish riders are more likely to be/become winners?

It’s ebbed and flowed throughout the history of the sport.

I’m not sure what Rae’s contract is with Kawasaki, but they’re not coming back to MotoGP anytime soon.

If they were ready, they'd have a good rider  ;)

I agree Kawi will not be back to MotoGP, but Rea’s domination in WSBK deserves at least a cursory call

True, but what’s his contract read? Remember, you gotta bring the sponsor money with you to play chess with the big boys.  ;) He might be happy dominating in WSBK, and doesn’t want the ass pain. (?) Remember how it went for Spies.  ;)

You'd think with his success, that sponsors wouldn't be the issue.

I have no clue what the issue is, but JR deserves a shot at GP if he still wants one since Honda boned him on that deal. It's why he's at Kwak now.

What happened to Sykes?

He went backwards early. Haven’t read the cause.
