Who do you think will be on it?
Jake Weimer and Christophe Pourcel are moving up (thats gonna be good!)
Tyla Rattray and Dean Wilson are likely staying
i doubt Josh Hansen will be around long, is he even racing outdoors?

Who do you think Mitch will pick up? I have Cole Seely in mind, that kid is amazing on a motorcycle. There's also Broc Tickle, maybe even James Decotis (kid works hard and has a top 5 as a REAL privateer) Ryan Sipes maybe?

Any amateur riders that are mitch ready? Jason Anderson maybe?

i think cole will stay with TLD, Jimmy D would be a great pick i think..

as for amateur, anderson is the only kawi rider i see that is up front in the A class. an ive never seen mitch pick somebody up from amateurs on a different brand.

I pretty sure Anderson was talking with pro circuit last year, but decided to stay an extra year as an amateur. Wouldn't Decotis getting a ride be a Cinderella story!

I'd like to see mitch give the Decotis kid a shot, i think with the right team and a little time the kid could be great.

Jeremy McGrath
Ricky Carmichael
James Stewart
Chad Reed
Ryan Villopto

PC is getting new sponsors next year and will have deep pockets, mitch wanted to go with proven champions. They should sweep both coasts.

I thought Anderson was on KTM, am I thinking of the wrong person?

Tyla's contract is up this year, unless he steps it up i wouldn't be surprised to see him gone, Dean of course staying. I really think Will Hahn has a shot at it if he does well in outdoors, after showing his speed in supercross and having worked with th pc guys this year with suspension and stuff over at TLD. They have an idea one what he is like to work with. Only amateur i could see Mitch interested in is Anderson, or bringing baggett back to kawi's after his rookie year.
all of course IMHO

How does the Pro age limit affect this year? Any kids coming out of the Ams? I see a big import year ahead for Mitch. He's always been one to pick up Euros and stick them in the lites class.

Yeah I would be shocked if Tyla was still there since he's been on the lites bikes as a pro since 2000. Next year would be year 12 as a pro lites rider..lol

I think Dean Wilson, Jason Anderson, Maybe Blake Baggett and probably one other established lites guy. <

A guy like Gautier Paulin might be possible since PC will be losing all there Euro flavor at the end of this year.

I'm pretty sure the reason KTM rushed to get Musquin signed for two years in the U.S. is because Mitch was sniffing around that tree. That's at least the rumor I heard and unlike allot of rumors it makes allot of sense.

Other than Baggett and Wilson, I'd thinkFriese or Durham. I would guess they have more potential than a Decotis or a Boni or a Anderson, but I ain't no Mitch Payton.

Durham and Firese have both had pretty bad years, I cant imagine picking one of them right now

Jimmy defiantly has potential and he's doing very well on his own dime right now, with factory equipment and the right mindset he could kill it.

I would not be suprised to see Blake staying with Bill Keefe after Mitch passed over him........after all he won a race on that yellow bike and is having a hell of a rookie season.

Baggetts been with Kawasaki since he was 10 or something, i think he would take PC Kawi over Canidae Suzuki.

Ive seen him race enough times. Practice tracks dont mean shit, if he cant put it together at the race his talent when he is in his comfort zone dont really matter. Not taking anything away from him, he's a great rider, but he isnt PC material

ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!?!

Cole crashed at A1 and got 14th, then went 6-5-5-2 then dislocated his hip.

Which is like the first time he's EVER gotton hurt.

"cant put it together at the race" haha stfu

He actually seems more like PC material than alot of guys. I mean Mitch is a king at finding people like Cole who are talented and putting them on the right equipment,getting them to have the right mindset, and then putting another plate on his doors.

My best guess is four of these

Wilson (the most likely)

Rattray (might or might not keep?)

Bagget

W. Hahn (i think he would be a really solid choice if he keeps it up in outdoors)

bring metcalfe back? his contract is up this year, unless he goes 450 next year, heard he might be.

Anderson

Tickle (works hard, be cool to see him catch that break)
Well also hanny i guess if monster wants to flip the bill? hmmm...
I still want to see a PC 450

Seely is a good choice but, he hasn't proven himself outdoors.

Omigawd! The voice of reason!!

We're not done 2010 yet. Your speculation is totally useless and nothing more than keyboard exercises for armchair team managers.

Watch...listen...and keep the good stuff to yourself. Decisions will be made well down the road.
