Expect the demise of WSBK within a few years. The company that owns WSBK also own MotoGp, so do the sums.

Not the first time the Japanese factories have withdrawn from WSBK (remember Hodgson's 2003 Ducati Cup win
) they survived that period and are still going strong. The Ducati factory might be gone as well now too, but they're still on top

Poor old Marco, signs up to race the factory Kawasaki MotoGP bike... then they quit. Signs up to the factory Yamaha WSBK squad... and they quit. Must be tough

The Yamaha Team was run and sponsored essentially by Yamaha Europe, not the Yamaha Japan. As such they weren't factory supported out of Japan.
Ducati likely to come back if Rossi doesn't take all the coin
