Re: Pirelli Tyres ONLY in BSB & BSS.
Just seen this on crash.net too. Shame on one hand since no more open rules, and the loss of dunlop who have been a major supplier for years.
But
It does mean brands hatch WSBK will be littered with BSB wild cards. I've gone all misty-eyed at the memories such as walker slotting in behind foggy in 1999, both going first and second into paddock. Shakey beating them all with that fantastic double in 2002 (or was it 2003?) and stopping at paddock in front of me, head in hands. That horrible moment when I thought Hizzy was dead in the paddock gravel trap after a huge accident in 2000.
Its a good thing, in that respect.
