Will there be a replacement rider? Who should it be?

I think Kelli Rusk should be given a shot

I agree, he may be able to ride with a brace. Hansen and Barcia rode with hand/wrist problems, hopefully he can too.

your probably right, i just don't know what modern medicine can provide. I was surprised when it came out that Tickle had a broken collar bone and in a few weeks was racing SX with a plate added.

Austen Howell. The kid and his Dad are driving across the country in a borrowed Box van type of thing and on their own dime. He seems to take a while to get going during the moto but seems to get stronger. With the right bike and a good start I think he'd be a top 5 guy.JMO of course.

Rookstool held his own pretty good for quite a while at Hangtown, got tired right at the end, but he was also coming off injury. He could top-ten.

Kyle Regal (if not in sx only shape) could do some damage.

He took 10th in the WORCS race today. He might already have a deal to race that series, I am not sure just saw the race results.

They are saying a month and half to get back on the bike. Replacement rider? they could just give his bike to another KTM rider on another team is there anyone out there? Don't think they will send anyone from Europe because of contracts.

But if they find a guy like Lance Vincent that I never heard off but got Geico a top 10

Regal would be able to run the 250s, but since he is still under contract with Yamaha he cannot ride a KTM.

I say hook PJ up with it. That or maybe Rusk, Renner or Tapia.

I know he is leading the Aussie MX series, but how about Mossey? He is on the KTM and Im sure he would like another chance at proving himself here!

PJ is already on a great KTM team. He rides for the same team as Tye Simmonds which is JDR/JSTAR/KTM, but he got hurt during SX. Not sure when he will be back. JDR's bikes are pretty good IMO., and they have good support.

I think he's to big for a 250f to be competitive anyways, he needs a 450 ride..

He has a 450 ride, and he chose a deal where he only rides it in the winter/spring months.

The obvious choice is Rusk. He's was the highest placing KTM rider at Freestone, has been on KTMs for 3 years. Earned a two digit number and was one of the highest placing KTM guys last season. He is also young, only 18 and if given a chance is moldalbe.

I doubt the factory bike will run as good as his Rocket Exhaust engine and exhaust system. Just kidding, his first moto 12th at Freestone was impressive for sure.

I think Killy Rusk would be a great replacement rider for Musquin. He has been riding really well lately and I think KTM should take notice... He's been riding KTM's for 3 years now and has had great results outdoors! He's a good young rider with lots of talent and heart - he just needs a shot!!!
