Looks like Hahn is out for the rest of the season, will they give a recent LL's graduate a chance to ride their bike for the last three, somebody already in the class, or nobody at all?

Chris Plouffe said yesterday on twitter "Stoked for this opportunity! Can't wait till Monday"

Whatever that means MCR or not

Devin, will you please also start a topic about PJ Larsen's replacement at JDR/J-Star/KTM.

My money's on Matt Moss who has just landed at LAX as we speak (er, type?). Matt is Stateside to get in some training with the US-based JDR team ahead of the MXdN and the Aussie Super X series. What better training than contesting the last three AMA Nationals as a replacement rider for PJ - who's had horrible luck in America following his championship winning performance down under last year.

Chris is PJ's replacement.....

I say Zach Freeberg would be a great choice on a MC 450.

Interesting. I find it very hard to believe that Plouffe would be faster than Moss, but then again maybe they're wrapping Mossy in cotton wool for the Des Nations and Super X. Not such a bad idea given his record and the fact that he hasnt exactly been 100% fit all year anyways.

No, I think Chris is Tommy Hahn's replacement.

My apologies for possibly confusing this thread by bringing JDR into it. However, I am curious as to who, if anybody, will be filling in for PJ Larsen.

I wouldn't bet against one"O"three's knowledge.

No replacement for Hahn. We will keep Canada (who got a top 10 in Unadilla) and Lamay (who is using his bikes with our engine an his suspensions) for the rest of the season.

It looks like Chisholm might be back for Southwick. We will be full then if you add Mariana Balbi for WMX.

Thanks, dv.

Say, you don't happen to know who PJ Larsen's replacement might be, do you?

Since rumors are starting to brew, Christian Craig isn't signed yet for 2012, he might end up at TLD but he said he has a few offers and hasn't made up his mind. He also added he will be in the lites class next year.

Just asked Chris if he was going to JDR for the remaining nationals and this is what he said.

"last 2. dont wanna do southwick wanna test for 2 weeks"

No, the team has two riders: Tye Simmonds and PJ Larsen - who, apparently, will be replaced by Chris Plouffe for at least the last two of the three remaining AMA Nationals.

Nothing in that video to suggest Matt will be contesting any AMA Nationals; however, if, as suggested by Devin, Chris isn't racing Southwick then maybe Matt might be at the gate at Moto-X 338.

Or, Old Mate, are suggesting JDR may run two 250 riders?

My guess would be chiz will be back at southwick. He is already looking like he is back up to speed and is getting stronger everyday.

I doubt Christian would leave TLD after all they've doen for him, unless it is for a greatttttttttt team. And when you say lites, do you mean 250 sx 450 mx like this year, or 250 all year?

Facciotti could be a good fit.

The series is done up here for the year.
