Let's see...Tony Alessi has a team manager job yet Weston can't land a ride? Sounds a little like the federal government.

Only Weston can still look scary while wearing two caps like that. Grinning

Well it sucks about MX but when you have burned bridges they dont get rebuilt. Been that way way too long in this sport. Even at the local level I've seen it way to much.
Bull, how many teams would be tripping over themselves to offer Jlaw a ride if he got serious again..

And haven't The Alessis burned a bridge or two? Just ask Peick to work with a PR coach for a bit, it worked wonders for RC and Villopoto...

Look where the Alessi's have wound up. Factory honda to laser gate. Doesn't hold much water. I don't think many teas are courting Jason either or he would be giving a shit.

PC 450 or RCH is where I think he would do best.
There is a reason teams don't sign him and we will probably know why but when riders like Hansen and Davalos get rides from top teams, it irks me that Weston isn't given a chance to shine. Out of most privateers, he stands out the most.

Echo what many have already said, he definitely deserves a ride!

Congrats to Weston.

Would love to see him on JGR or with Davi on Rockstar KTM. (If they can find the budget for another rider)

RCH as well! Options abound.

Davey was saying on Twitter someone should give the guy a ride . I know mcr is rumoured to be looking at pourcel but wouldn't Weston be a great fit for them . Ok it seems Weston might be a bit fiery buts that's prob one of the reasons he's doing so well . I think alessi and Weston under the same tent would work well .

I dont get it either

Davalos has been in the 250 class since 2006 or so and has done pretty much nothing as far as results go


theres alot of older folks out there who should probably hang it up and call it a career..they had their time in the sun..out with the old..

Pourcel, as talented as he is would be a bad bet

The dude is disrespect and a bit of a dead beat.

The dude goes 5-5 for 4th and they have bump start his bike because it wouldn't fire before the 2nd moto? And also did you see his suspension bottom every time he hit a bump? Something doesn't add up quite right.

Told myself I was going to stay off the boards for a while.....but couldn't help but come in here and say " Great ride Weston!!"

For a privateer that pits out of a box van.....to get to a 4th OA and 1 step off the box.....is an amazing feat! Knew you could do it Weston! and good luck at LE next week!

Congrats for the great ride. But not racing the whole series allows a guy like Weston to come out and be stronger than some of the guys who have been there week in and week out.

You could argue that not racing every week against the top riders leaves him at a disadvantage since he is not constantly exposed to that top pace. Regardless, he deserves a ride as he consistently beats guys like Tickle Weimer and Brayton who have good rides. not only is he beating these guys but now he is running them down and passing them.
Weston wasn't going to be out of shape anyways.........and if anything , he's at a disadvantage from "NOT" racing against those guys but a few times this summer. Any racer will tell you.........the longer you're out , the more you can fall off the pace.

There is no advantage from missing almost all the rounds....no matter how you try to spin it.

Edit......Meant Advantage in my last line.

i like weston. i hope he gets some help. but as stated earlier he wasn't the best with hs racer x interview after rock river didn't help him out or didn't have room left for him...then the kicking the bike off the stand in front of hte camera....the ongoing feud with freise. Not saying thats why, just that it kinda made him a hot potato for team managers (during an economic crunch also) when the rider is basically barely qualifying for mains.

that being said, his riding is starting to speak for itself. Someone should be able to overlook the hassles for the benefit he can bring to them as a team hopefully.
when the rider is basically barely qualifying for mains. Really? You can't be talking about Weston as he qualified from heat races occasionally and repeatedly put in solid rides throughout the SX season.

There are no hassles when working with Weston end of story. He and his father both tell it like it is and have been around the block a couple of times.

Congrats !

Perfect timing to land a good contract. I am interested since he got nervous in his own pits, you can see how determined he is. MX is all his life, give him a ride !

Perfect example of not who you know but who you blow. I think him and his dad are real people who aren't ass kissers. He is a racer, seems well spoken and has great rides on equipment way less then that of PC or RCH, guys who he beats regularly. He is also in good shape and don't fade, if anything gets faster. Tyla is gone at PC, give him a shot Mitch, shit you gave Davalos one.

I still think the most entertainment value could be had if Chad had him on his team. Talk about two different types of cats.

Ricky's team would be a close second.

Motoconcepts would be a ticking time bomb of personality clashes.

Team Honda/Kawi/Suzi/KTM would be too corporate.
