doesn't seem to matter which bike hes on, he doesn't perform well especially outdoors. but if he has a visible attitude of not being happy about it then I wouldnt put him on either bike.

I like Tyla's style he's not a fader, he pushes hard to the end each moto. Dude's a pitbull and should do great on that Factory Kawi. See how it goes but he seems like he would fit very well on that team after Poto returns.

Interesting. Mitch said at the awards ceremony on the weekend that Tickle would be on a 450 outdoors.

If Tickle is riding the 250F outdoors, hopefully it lights a fire and he gives it 110%

No disrespect to Ratray or anyone else, but does nobody remember Dungey, Villopoto, and Reed with 30+ second leads over the rest of the field last year? Are people thinking Dungey is going to be slower this year? Didn't he check out at Vegas a few days ago with a massive lead?

There are riders, and there are superstars. There are 2 superstars riding the 450 outdoor nationals this year.

God no. Dungey will probably be quicker than ever. But Rattray is a beast. He will probably be a touch off the pace at first coming back from injury, and with little time on the 450. But his fitness matches Dungey's, and the dude is super talented on a dirt cycle.

He was not far off him at the MXDN in his first ever 450 race, was defiantly keeping him honest. Don't see why he can't get a few moto wins, the guy is an animal.

Rattray has an awesome opportunity and I don't think he's going to waste it either! He's the best guy Kawi could have chosen to replace RV in my opinion.
