Sorry, no photos... Busy testing some 2017 KTM models at Pala... But, I spotted a blank Yamaha, with a certain rider without a name or number. It turned out to be Matt Bisceglia pounding out motos on one of Star Racing Yamaha's YZ250Fs... Maybe we'll see him contest the last two rounds since Jeremy Martin bowed out? Or maybe he'll still be on the Yoshimura Suzuki RM-Z450 and they were thinking about next year...
Star already has four riders, and Bradley Taft was placed on Rock River, which made me suspect they didn't want to run five bikes... But maybe that has changed...
Current 2017 lineup is:
Aaron Plessinger
Mitchell Harrison
Colt Nichols
Dylan Ferrandis
I also heard today that we might see an energy drink sponsor change for Star in 2017...

Good job!
"Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha"
Those names aren't going to work...
US: Factory Kawi, PC Kawi, Team Tedder, Factory Yamaha, JGR Yamaha, and now Star... Along with some individual athletes...
Europe: Rinaldi Yamaha, CLS Kawi, Dixon Kawi, Factory Kawi, Gasjer/Gariboldi Honda, Kemea Yamaha, Wilvo Stading Construct Yamaha...
So who does Monster have on bikes at the Dakar rally? You know the TV coverage for that event blows away SX and GPs combined.
Also, I imagine the team name would be something like... Yamalube/Monster Energy Yamaha... Maybe drop the Star name from the announcement title... or Yamalube/Monster Energy Star Yamaha... Or, maybe, Monster wants to be first?
Monster Energy/Yamalube Yamaha.
Pit Row
Only way I see Matt and Bradley going to the Star rig... Is if they cut Mitchell Harrison loose... But, Mitchell has one more year on his contract.
I wouldn't be completely surprised to see him under Rock River for one year... With a full Star/Factory Yamaha bike... He's already had that kind of treatment while being under Horton's tent this year in amateurs.
Stock is currently in the 160 handle....
