More Morning Moto News - BSB Rule Changes, James Ellison & Luke Jones

Over in the British Superbike Championship, the people running the series - MotoSport Vision - have changed the rules in order to change how the Championship is awarded. They are trying a new two seasons within one strategy which they hope will build a 'crescendo of competition' by the end of the season. They are also changing how Qualifying is done and how the starting line-up for Race 2 is set. Really, if you are even a casual fan of the series, this is something you must read.

Exactly why James Ellison is out of a ride for the 2010 season is a mystery to me. I do understand how he got to this point, but I do not understand why no one would want to hire the man who placed second in last year's BSB series. He has skill to spare and the desire to win every race - someone had better hire him soon or their competitors will and they will take the title!

Luke Jones is not having a hard time finding a team. The second runner-up in the BSB Superstock 600 class in 2009 will now ride for PR Racing in the 2010 BSB Championship. He will continue racing a Yamaha, moving from an R6 to and R1 for his new position.
