Good luck to you Ben!

I can relate to the privateer struggle a little bit from Road Racing.

Hope you find a good ride and have a great season!

Anyone of those 3 might not be a bad addition to the Yoshimura/Suzuki team along side Metty.

No doubt about this statement.

I hoped Chisholm would get JGR because he actually likes the Yamaha. I would like to see Regal go to MC's team and Hahn to JWR on a Kawi.

Does the BTO team have legit bikes and support? Byrne didn't do great but he may be on the downturn?

There's nothing wrong with their bikes
Regal is only 20 and he still has potential to be a podium guy, or maybe even a winner.

I hope the best for you as well. I hope this years supercross gets you into more mains. You have done really well in the outdoors and for a privateer you have done so well without injury I am surprised you don't get more coverage.

What about:
Blose?
Albertson?
Stroupe?
Izzi?
Dietrich?

I've heard Stroupe and Izzi's names mentioned with Valli but then I hear that Valli isn't even going to have a team next year and the fact that a lot of their team mechanics and manager left makes me think that they are not coming back.

It will be interesting to see if Yosh Suzuki, Team 22, and KTM add a second 450 rider. Hopefully for these guys sake they do. I guess KTM could just have Roczen and Musquin ride the 350 on the opposite coast that they ride the lites class in.

I would think of the talent still not signed Chisholm and Blose would have to be the best picks based on results. Blose got 4th at the last SX and Chiz was always top 10 and just won Bercy...can't believe they aren't signed yet!

Blose will race some how or some way. KDub will make sure of this. Blose 4th was a 4th but there wasn't many people really behind him. I give him tons of props but it was kinda a fluffed 4th. I was at the race.

If you look back Morais just tweeted a pic of his new Valli/Star YZ 450. Izzi, Stroupe and Albertson might end up there as well. Personally I think Top Jimmy and Mo are their best choices.

Dietrich I heard is going back to his craft where he made a name for himself. From what I would think financially doing what he did this year didn't make sense. However I think he made some good connects and experiences to make it worth while. He should go back and rake in some cash in his expertise.

As far as Chiz I think he would be a good fit for Yosh.

I don't think TwoTwo signs a 2nd rider this year. I see Chad wanting a Contender. Maybe we will see CR and RV in the Future. I think he is up next for contract.

KTM for a 2nd rider? I don't know that is actually a really good question. Maybe that 22 KTM we saw earlier is for Chad. lol

Good Info Gym Briggs.

Yes I agree on Blose and Vegas. Cunningham did the same thing the year before. Chris was only a handful of guys who made every main event this year though, as amazing as Villopoto's year was even he can't claim that!

I keep hearing about the Valli/Star merger but haven't seen anything for sure.

Interesting on Dietrch going back to offroad. Glad he got to fulfill his dream. I'd be surprised if he makes more money doing WORCS and Endurocross though. Most of those guys I've talked to took a huge pay cut and many of the top guys are just getting bonuses now and no salary. Crazy times!

Regal took a shot and skipped the Lites class. it was a good move but now the talent is in the big bike class .

IMO, Regal needs to get back into the Lites class.

I guess you didn't watch the whole race in Vegas??? Chris worked his way in to 6th. The only given spots came when Windham and Stewart crashed out. And I might add ....he was only a straight away behind 3rd place at the finish line. I wouldn't call tha a FLUFF 4th place. Shocked

Anything you can tell us about what is going on in Australia with Chris?. My understanding is the first two rounds were greasey mudders. Optimistic for the upcoming rounds?

I have only sketchy details, But, I know he pulled the holeshot and was leading his heat race and crashed. Then came back to win the LCQ. He crashed out in the main event. It was pouring rain, hail, etc. etc. etc. during the main. He is praying for fair weather from here on out. Muddy track experience is always a good thing for him. But, discouraging when he qualifies with podium lap times.

Yeah I did watch the whole race. I am not saying Blose didn't do anything great, I mean a 4th is great on paper. However when you break it down 13-20th didn't even finish the race. So you finish that race you get 12th. They lapped up to 9th. The 3 riders that I say he should be pumped to beat were Short(on a 350), Weimer(had a shitty season), and Stroupe(don't last a whole moto). If you want to throw Wey in too I'll give you that. Honestly if Brayton, Alessi, Windham, Stewie and Millsaps finish that puts him in 10th more his area. So yes the 4th was fluffed. Your like the guy who said Stewie is a 4th place guy cause thats where he finished in the series. Get off the Meth and get back to reality.

As far as him being a straightway behind 3rd Vegas has some of the longest lanes on the series. Also 3rd place guy was Villopoto who was being hit with the reality of clinching his 1st 450 SX title. Its like a guy winning a race and 2nd place being like I only finished 5 seconds behind him. When in reality the guy had a 30 second lead and was high giving fans and kissing babies on the last lap. He wasn't hanging with the top 3. He was 48 seconds in back of the leaders and 13 seconds in back of RV. 18 seconds behind him is 5-9th. Closest being 3 seconds behind.

I give Blose lots of credit and he has my respect from how highly Kenny talks about him. The kid has heart and won't stop. Need more guys like that out there. I'll tell you what next PulpMX show you call in or I will and ask Kenny if Blose 4th place was fluffed or not. Maybe we can think of some kind of wager to solidify that.

I hope he lands a good ride on a good team and he can continue to be a hard charger. If 4th was his potential he would still be on H&H!

Think they went ALL IN on James and were kinda left with their pants down so to speak? I mean JGR was in the same boat they weren't really talking to anyone according to interviews. Mike Webb and Yoshi went to Florida I'm pretty sure. Sounds like they put a lot of effort into trying to acquire James.

Personally I think they should take their money they were going to spend on James and pick up all or even 2 of these guys!!

What if it wasn`t Yoshimura Suzuki that was going after Stewart but it was Suzuki through 22motorsports.

I guess you would say then that making every main event was fluff too? Everyone can find excuses when they feel the need. Bottom line is.... Positions don't get given to anyone....they get earned! Whistling

Chris' potential has nothing to do with why he is not going to be with H&H next season. The riders they are signing for next year will probably get them and their sponsors more air time. Will they have their best results next season? Maybe.....maybe not. But, they will most certainly get the attention they want. And by saying that..... I am NOT, in any way, knocking their program. Carey Hart is an amazing team owner and devoted to putting his team in the spotlight. Nothing wrong with that..

I'm not sure why a team like eleven10 mods or the new L&M team wouldn't be looking at chizz, Blose and Hahn. I think I heard DV say that Regal wants to only ride a Honda but could be wrong, but I'd that's the case it leaves him out.

Post a reply to: Hahn, Chizz and Regal are left
