Kawasaki are also running the air sprung forks next year. That's probably what she meant by it

Doesn't sound likely that he'll be back on a Kawi at JWR if that's what you are referring to.

Did Grant make it through supercross injury free?

I think he is making it through the season for most of the races which is something I don't know if he has ever done. Should help him to step back up to his previous speed I hope. He has had a tough run.

Talked to Jeff Ward briefly at Washougal(as the legend was signing posters of himself)....he said he'll have 2 riders for next season. I smiled at him, said that tells me something. He just grinned back.

Guessing Chisholm is out. Wilson's signed, and anybody else heard about JWR luring C Pourcel??
How's that for a duo?...Wilson and Pourcel riding your Kawa 450s?
Imagine it would take a lot of money to get Christophe back here..........agree Grant deserves a chance to get back on track.

JG33 is my favorite rider and I'm happy to see him finishing a season without any big injuries (hopefully.) Will be interesting to see what he does if he does not stay at JWR. He's got the talent to get back up there but his injuries have been heartbreaking.

This looks promising with Wilson and CP. JG not so much, He's has 3 chances to get back on track now, JGR, Honda and now JWR.

Nah, I think he missed half the SX with an injury

"Imagine it would take a lot of money to get Christophe back here"

I don't think it would take alot. It would have to be decent, but I think the opportunity to ride a Kawasaki would be the biggest draw

The most recent I'd heard was Josh staying at JWR, or possibly being in the mix to return to JGR.

Mike Webb's waiting to hear if they'll have the budget from Japan for a second rider on the Team Yoshimura Suzuki Racing team. He said he'd like to continue on with the same team from this summer.

Are you sure DW15 is signed?

As of yesterday he wasn't.

Has it been announced? No.

Has the press release come out? No.

Is it happening? I think you're good to go to say yes.

I thought was one of the reasons Pourcel couldn't score a deal when he was through at Pro Circuit a few yrs ago??
money
Man, if I was Mitch, I'd be calling up Christophe to ride one of my Kawi 450s.......I think he'd beat everybody else on Kawas-
except RV2.

It was cool to see him get a good start and rip a little at Shougal. But Thunder Valley 2010 is a long time ago. My eyes tell me he can't hang with the Ryan's

Yes Chris I would agree with you here. Grant has missed so much due to injury and while he was on the sidelines the pace seemed to accelerate so much. Now to run with the top group, a guy has to be freakin fit and freakin fast, and freakin consistent!

Please don't think I'm shitting on Grant. If someone said I could have the exact same riding style of any pro, Grant would be up there. Just looks awesome on the bike and aggressive too. He had Reed covered in some races straight up in the Nationals
In 2009 but even a vet like Reed added speed.

Pretty sure he's staying at JWR next year. If he can keep from getting hurt again during the nationals, he should be able to run near the front in 2013 SX.

I feel he's at the end of the line; if he doesn't get a solid full year of racing to his name soon I could easily see him fading out of existence.

Top 5?? I like JG33, but come on, he hasn't done much this year, and next year with the regulars, and Barcia and Wilson up there... not likely. I see rv2, cr22, rd5, js7, tc41, dw15, jb17 dominating the top spots.

We're going to need a bigger podium.

I am a big Josh Grant fan.

I hope he stays with JWR and the team picks up some factory Kawasaki help.

Leased bikes would be awesome.

Based on what?

Pourcel isn't blowing them away in MX1.

So why would he come back to the U.S. an dominate?
