There is no way Deano doesn't get a ride. Right now some people are punching numbers into a calculator and scratching their balding heads. Hopefully it's a different calculator than the one JWR was using a few days ago.

This is Reeds big chance going for rider number 2 !

If monster steps in, no problem !
Good chance for Wilson to get together with TWOTWO since Reed is now a part of the Monster Army.


Wilson already has a personal sponsorship deal with Monster which makes a move to Red Bull KTM unlikely.

Pro Circuit is a safe bet for Wilson to fall back to. They are all Monster, and already on Kaw's that Dean likes. Besides, Pro Circuit needs a championship contender who's healthy. Their new guys are dropping like flies.

Wilson has too much potential to be left out in the cold . . .

His Monster sponsorship should not decide where he goes. He needs to do what is best as far as improving as a rider. RD said in an interview thst Wilson was the only rider they were interested in adding. He should get in touch with RD asap and work out aydeal. Red Bull isn't too bad a sponsor I am surd he would be alright. I also believe Two Two will be short lived.

Personally, I think Wilson already has a deal and has had a deal with Chad to ride for two two when chad steps down. I think that is planned for 2014. There is a video out there where chad talks about two two and says he wants dean. As we all know, chad took dean under his wing, brought him down to FL and taught him his tricks, much like Tim ferry did for Chad. Red dog and Reed are still very tight(although there was a time when they hated each other). Right now it would be a waste of money for Chad to hire another rider. He is the draw for the sponsors, he doesn't need dean just yet. However, he knows, that if he gets hurt again, his team will suffer bad as it did this year and he will be paying everyone to race go carts and shoot guns as he did last year, so another rider makes sense on some level. Perhaps the circumstances with JWR, Monster, and Deano without a ride will lead to another deal. To me the answer is simple. Put Dean on the team now and he can be a backup, maybe win a race or two and run interference on the track for Chad. Chad is looking long term on running his team. He built the facility in FL, made a nice rider lounge, has a go cart track built. He is certainly looking long term with the capital investments he has made. He is also a pretty smart dude. He knows where he wants to go and makes it happen. Dean moved right near chads, his father parks his RV at chads track. It is gonna happen for 2013, I can't say. I do believe that two two will always be a one or two rider team with a title contender on it. Sponsors want the big names and winners. In the end it is them that write the checks. Also, Tomac and Barcia, being honda riders and arguably faster, muddies the water a bit for 2014 on.

Massive assumptions in this post and I would be inclined to disagree with the first few sentences.

Personally I think it'll be a lot easier for RC to snag a factory Yosh Suzuki for Wilson than it will be for Reedy to talk Honda into another factory 450 and all the parts they can eat. Deans personal sponsors might be a fit with TwoTwo, but hasn't Honda said "no" to another factory 450 to Reed already?

Why does it have to be a factory Honda seat at twotwo?

Pro Circuit's CRF was good enough for Chad before american honda started giving him factory parts, then a bike?

It doesn't have to be a factory bike but seriously a guy like Wilson should have a factory bike period. He deserves it.

Reed said in an interview he needs a top 3 rider if he were to pickup a teammate, not a rookie. Dean isn't a top 5 rider in the 450 class. RCH can only get one factory bike if that, and their team is full, along with all the other teams. Rumors have Dean on a PC 250.

I doubt Reed would go back to a PC bike...or expect a rider like Dean to either, especially after being on full factory machinery. He said he wants to sign a top rider, why settle for an inferior (to factory) bike for that rider?

RCH is running full factory Suzukis a la Stewart...and either Carey Hart is playing around with the media like Reedy likes to do, or he's hinting stringly that they'll make a strong play for Wilson.

Chad reed interview
Yes but that was nearly a year ago in that interview. I just have a strong feeling you are off base with your first point. Dean had a 2 year deal at JWR to start with so there definitely wasn't a two two plan for dean in 2014 like you suggested. Just maybe trust me on this one.
