The championship may be full of Spanish riders, but I don;t think it can be seen as a conspiracy. Most of the guys who've got competitive rides have done a good job with them. The Spanish riders tend to be quite small and slight, and the modern bikes suit those guys much more than the old two-strokes. Despite Alonso's success, Spain is still one of the few countries where bike racing is more popular than car racing, and the limited sponsorship money available in a recession-hit post-tobacco-money world can only go so far. They've got a domestic Moto2 series ahead of anyone else, which shows the money and interest they have.
