No home advantage? Please. If you can't observe it anecdotally then just run the numbers, which are indisputable if you've ever seen them. (or even if you haven't)

For instance, Corser has more WSBK points at PI than any other rider.
He's been on many other WSBK tracks just as often during his WSBK tenure, but his home track is where he really shines. No coincidence that Hayden did especially well at Laguna, but was merely very good and a consistent top 3-10 elsewhere.

No one that follows racing and looks at numbers and doesn't have a bias could possibly think that there is NO home track bias. Purest bunk, and mathematically provable to boot.
