Conflict of Interest?
http://www.bikesportnews.com/news-de...es&newsid=5136
Is this really a good idea for bike sports in general, is it wise having one company owning all of the world championships in world road racing? Or do I worry too much?

Re: Conflict of Interest?
When these big co's buy another, they always say things like no effect on customers, no factory closures, no job losses, blahblahblah, then do whatever they want to form the monopoly and squeeze the very last £1000m or whatever.
So CC yes we should be worried. BTW you sold them concert tickets yet.

Re: Conflict of Interest?
I just hope it brings some benefits, I can't remember what benefits Dorna brought to BSB when they were involved a few years ago, It got Shakey Byrne a ride in GP's but other than that, I can't remember. But I have a short memory. Are they still involved?
Sadly no the tickets for vintage trouble still going to be used and I'm not making the GM11.  to be honest I can't afford it with the holiday coming in September.

Re: Conflict of Interest?
Hmm, interesting development this is. I could easily see the two championships being merged especially if the motogp rule change next year is a flop in terms of grid numbers (which I believe it will be entirely). Can't really take Expeleta's word on it as he's not really in a position to have influence compared to Bridgepoint.

Re: Conflict of Interest?
Looks like the merging or whatever is underway now (back page of MCN). So its taken less than one season.
