Time for silly season. What color bike is Tomac riding next year, blue?
Who will ride the West Coast SX for KTM next year?

Stewart-signed a "multi-year contract" after leaving JGR according to the original Suzuki PR
Canard-2 year deal ending in 2014
Weimer-2 year deal ending in 2014
Tickle-2 year deal ending in 2014
Grant-1 year deal ending in 2013
Braylon-2 year deal ending in 2014
Short-signed with BTO KTM to finish the 2013 season

As far as Short and Grant go, Short's best option may be to return to BTO, and if JGR lands the fish they are after Grant likely moves on to another team.

I wonder if Metcalfe threw a wrench in the works with his ride this last weekend.

Has Dungey officially inked a deal yet? I'm assuming he's staying at KTM but someone started that stupid RCH rumor that seems logical on Ricky's end. And if Dungey hasn't re-signed yet, maybe he's waiting for a reason.

I agree with most of those but Wharton finished well in SX and won a main. I think he is doing well. He won't be causing a bidding war when he moves up to the 450s but he's doing better than many others.

Justin Hill, come on man, he's a rookie! Not only that but he put up some good finishes in SX and has shown great speed, beating out many other rookies several times.

Tickle I think is doing well. Keep in mind he has a ton of pressure and is basically a rookie in the class, not to mention adapting to a new bike. He's doing fine and will continue to improve.

Izzi, well, what would his doctors do without their regular income from his insurance? Poor guy just can't stay off the ground.

As for Davalos, Brayton and Weimer, well......

24 Should not have been allowed to leave end of, but hey that's sport - he more than put up a good show this weekend and put a few to shame in the process not that it is a surprise.

Some of those so called factory mother fuckers need to watch out - Whistling

How is Tickle basically a rookie in the 450 class with a full outdoor season under his belt on one?

Justin Hill, I am glad someone else see's the kid is a ROOKIE and is riding good. People act like he has been racing for a few years now. Should of just waited to turn pro with AC and Webb and got all the hype I guess as he is barley mentioned ever.

Anyone who was at Budds Creek this year might remove Durham from that list. That was one hell of a ride in the second moto.

Jake is having a bad few months....remember last year he had 5 podiums in SX and plenty of excellent rides outdoors? He is signed through 2014 with Kawi and I bet he sorts through whatever issues he is having and gets his mojo back soon. He is the best of the pack after RV, RD, JB and sometime Trey. Just watch, he will step it up.

Metcalfe would be an awesome team mate for RV.

I also think Weimer will bounce back. i feel he is a better rider than metcalfe for sure. I think Durham is hot property. The kid has serious speed, and has displayed it with only several weeks back from injury.

I agree that Weimer, Tickle, and Davalos have worn out their welcome.

Let's get some new blood in ^ these positions.
literally, have the announcers even said davalos or wharton while announcing this summer?

I thought Martin was Mitch's great Ecuadorian hope?

He is having a rough time granted and whatever it is he needs to get on top of it, but are you really going to put him top 4 / 5 ? No way he is, he is sitting top 10 now but will be lucky if he finishes there, very lucky in fact when you consider those around him, Sipes, Stewart, Grant, filthy Phil is chomping at his heels and about to blow past - Weimer has a massive target on his back if you ask me.
