Procircuit must have pulled their support to help someone else. Not trying to be "that guy" but it wouldn't surprise me if it was for reed

Mitch and Troy go back a lot further than Mitch and Reed plus Team TwoTwo was already PC. Given TLD ran their own motor program last year guess I shouldn't be too surprised but I am.

I always thought it was hilarious that Pro Circuit built the motors for almost every team a couple years ago and they seemed to win everything.

The new forks will just say Showa. Just give it time you will see. No more PC suspension.

I think Matt Jory from Proven Moto is doing all the TLD motors. He used to be the in-house guy for the team then went out on his own.

Yeah, he won the championship. They only dropped FMF because FMF came out with their own (failed) energy drink. So, the brand was then a conflicting sponsor with Monster. They debadged the exhaust the last couple races of the year, and won the championship... and then switched back to PC.

Wilson Baggett Davalos Durham Hill Cianciarullo... Same as last year.

If PC wasn't building the TLD Honda motors then they didn't have to stay with PC pipes so they probably went with the best deal they could get.

I'm curious, will FMF be paying the team to use their pipes, giving them to them for free, or even making the team pay for them at a discounted rate?

I read an interview by the head guy at Akrapovic saying that they never pay any team to use their stuff. Just wondering what other manufacturers do?

They're getting paid. Thats the difference between FMF and PC, PC rarely pays to have their products be on a bike. PC pays some teams but not nearly as much as FMF. Either way they have good bikes, and still will regardless off exhaust.

He's top secret, probably in a meeting with his connections as we speak. He'll be back with another one of his cryptic posts shortly I'm sure, and drop some hints of stuff he thinks he's important for knowing....I'm jus' sayin'

What needs explained? Somebody at either TLD or Pro Circuit decided they weren't going to work together anymore. It now appears the team will be using FMF...big deal...why does there always have to be a big conspiracy theory?

I don't need any explaining, I was referring to Lone Wolf when he said that explains everything to Team Greens reply.

Yeah, I never understood his posts, or the reason he does it. If you are somebody in the "industry" and are "all knowing" but can't say anything about anything then why bother? Makes me wonder if he truly is a nobody. I could sit here an type the same shit, and I am a nobody, but who would know any better? I am sure there will be some coming along vouching for him soon, and that will explain everything. Jus' sayin'...............

Well you're not the only one, that's for sure. I really don't understand it either, makes no sense?
