I notice how theyve pulled out of Moto GP and not the World Superbikes, goes to show what priorities they place on Moto GP nowadays.

They had only just started in Moto GP anyway and weren't doing that well. world Superbikes are much closer to standard road bikes and so would result in more sales. Race on Sunday, sell on Monday.
