The "Other" Silly Season


With race teams tightening their belts there's not just riders looking for work, but race teams as well. That means there are plenty of talented wrenches on the market looking for new gigs. We were out shooting some video with Nico Izzi yesterday, and spotted Dave Feeney (formerly of the Rockstar Makita Suzuki squad) working with the DNA Shred Stix / Star Racing / Yamaha guys.

Just about all the Rockstar Makita Suzuki guys were let go after the MXoN and U.S. Open, and it sounds like Ryan Dungey's mechanic for the last couple years, Mark Valcore is among them. It sounds like Dungey will be matched up with Mike Gosselaar for the 2010 season.

It'll be interesting to see where some of the other talented mechanics and techs (and truck drivers) land as we get closer to the season.
