Aussie bed blockers?

Can someone please tell me what’s happening with the Australian Superbike Championship for 2020? With so many changes, do you reckon there’s enough races to still be able to crown a Aussie champ this year? Any info would be great. I’ve been following the series since the Troy Corser and Anthony Gobert days and, apart from those few years where it was run by bean counters instead of racing enthusiasts, has been full of close and entertaining racing.

I can archive each as I finish reading, then pull a back issue up at will – no storage issues

But maybe this long break in proceedings might give teams and riders some time to rethink their rider line-ups for next year. I know they’re all talented and hungry riders, but your Wayne Maxwells and Glenn Allertons have been around for what feels like ever – they’re the Rossis of ASBK and it just might be time for them to make way for some up-and-coming talent who need a stepping stone to bigger and brighter things.

The Aussie championship should be a launchpad for emerging talent,
