He Posted on our local board not with H&H.
Kind of sucks after he was the only one that actually finished two full Seasons for them and has their best finish ever.
Just more indication of why the Sport seems to be in a downward spiral.

Maybe he can get back with TLD on a 450? Just an idea..
Hill can he even ride yet ?
Tedesco on the downside heading out
Partridge made a couple mains last year , this indicates he has found a backer and H&H is willing to take the money.
Heres to hoping he finds something before the season so hes prepared like the other guys.
Is Partridge gonna buy into a ride like he did with Star Racing this summer? Don't take this as me bashing him, it was his own words that he paid his way onto Star on a 450 to try and get some results while on good equipment this year but his results have not been so hot. He has raced 8 nationals but has only scored points in 3 of those 16 motos.
Pit Row
Blose, Ivan and Hill in that order is how it should be.

Carey's been doing what he said he'd do: Build the the Team while Promoting the Brand and, all the while, make his way "towards the box".
If Chris is out it will be because they are freeing up the resources to get, what they feel, is probably fresher/younger/"better" talent to pursue their goals.
It's NOT personal. It's Business.
Sad; but, true.
The only way I see Hanny goin' over there is if they make room for/add a "Monster" Sponsor/Co-Title Sponsor Pkg...which isn't necessarily a BAD thing and may require a change in the roster to accommodate.
I'm thinkin' H-n-H, Shift, Dodge(?), PC, ...?
Good luck to Chris wherever he goes!
To the REE REE that said he doesnt race nationals. His team doesnt. I didnt see Hansen out there or Ivan? So that point you made was about as dumb as you can make haha
Problem is, Chris has had 2 years on the equipment to show what he has. He's done great, probably better than expected; however, the team knows about what they will get with Chris, even if they give him the benefit of the doubt with another improvement over last year. Fact is, that isn't on the podium.
Now you can say Tedesco and Hill didn't get on the podium either; however, they are closer to getting there. Huh? you may say, since Chris DID have the best finish. Simple, Tedesco put the bike at the front more often, and led laps, and has a much stronger name to build a brand around because he's a past champion.
The last time Hill was healthy and racing, he was battling for a title, wins, and consistently around the podium. As a team manager, sometimes you have to take risks and try to sign a guy who "if the planets aligned" could win because you can't afford to buy a proven winner that is on the up and up.
Hopefully Chris can find another solid ride. I think he'd fit in great alongside Chisholm at MotoConcepts or leading a team like TiLube.
WRONG about Tedesco being faster than Blose as Chris Blose finished FOURTH in Vegas while Ivan's best finish last year was a SIXTH. Plus Blose is still IMPROVING every year, advancing in speed -- look at his results -- while Ivan Tedesco, as much as I like him, is starting to slip a bit. Hill WAS faster than Blose but I'm not sure that is still true. We'll have to see . . .
RIGHT about championship results not always indicating speed, especially in this case. Tedesco finished two places above Chris in series but, in my opinion, Blose has now eclipsed him in speed . . .
Chris Blose deserves a GREAT ride -- He's like "The Little Engine That Could". He's probably the best return on investment in the big bike class for the 2012 Supercross season . . .
