Is someone going to fill in for him? I'd imagine his sponsors want someone on the bike. I know it won't happen but Jlaw would be the perfect guy to get on that thing! He's probably horribly out of shape.

In my personal opinion, given the image of JLaw versus the image of Chad, you will never see Jlaw riding on his team or most likely racing professionally again.

I don't think their images are as far apart as people might think. Jlaw is a punk and is always in some sort of trouble legally but he's entertaining and brings some excitement to the sport. Reed has always been considered a prick by other riders and people in the industry from what I thought. Maybe I'm wrong, and I haven't really gotten into the sport again until this year but I always thought he was generally disliked? I know he has a huge fan base but that doesn't mean much.

There's a big difference between Chad a few years ago, and the Chad that you see now.

Just have Tate ride around the pits with his Strider... He'll get more press than any other riders available right now.

You're probably right. Don't know how you name a kid Tate though. Way too close to taint.

well, its going to be tough to get another caliber rider on the twotwo team. aside from regal playing around w/ twotwo stickers on his own bike, i feel he may be a good pic for the team come outdoors. if he is available.and dowd for southwick as well.!
crowd pleaser riders like dowd is what the team needs to get by this season.no major contracts needed as well.

NY/NJ peeps just can't let it go.

But James on Reeds bike so Yamaha can see their re-designed bike needs a re-design. (And I'm a Yammy (2T) guy)

another off the wall , but croud appeal idea would be at each venue offer the best local non contracted rider an opportunity to race on the twotwo bike. i would assume team honda parts my not be included.

Cole Seely did tweet that he was riding today, possible fill in rider until the west picks up again?

What about a guy like Chris Blose, if he is back to health?

Chad would want at a minimum a consistent top 10 guy. Being that he might be out for outdoors too, Mike800 might be his best choice.

I was thinking that myself, as long as he's healthy. He'd be top ten on the right bike, IMO.

If they decide to fill the spot maybe Billy Laninovich would be a good fit

+1

I really dont see anyone who can take his place.. Unless his sponsor demands it there is no point in replacing him for sx.

Why not give Christophe Pourcel a try? Any of the guys mentioned above save tomac , who I don't think can do it,will be riding around mid pack. Pourcel might to, but the guy has talent. I don't even like him. Lol

How about Gavin Faith. He's on a Honda and he was in the main last week. Cool name for twotwomotorsports to
use. "Have some Faith until Chad returns"Smile
