I heard that Rob who is doing Pirelli this year, may only be at a few races this year if that, anyone have any update on that as the new Pirelli's for 2011 are awesome and I hope he is there to provide the great product and service he always has.
I've talked with Rob a bunch, and it is likely he will only be at a race or 2 if any this year. Pirelli support at the track is being handled by Mike Applehans. I don't think there are many Pirelli riders left in the MRA but it is nice of MA to step up and help us out. With a lot of guys switching to Contis and going fast on them, it is hard to see how anybody sticks with Pirelli much longer in the MRA, especially with no contingency.

That said, Rob's support has still be excellent from afar, you just need to get tires ordered online a couple weeks in advance for each race.
