So RC did run 250 SX then 125 MX in the same year? i was trying to recall that but my memory is fading. I really think that would be a good route for Kenny, ride the 350 in SX then 250 out.

There has not been much talk of who they will pick upas a second 250 rider. Isn't Bagget available or what about some of the younger rookies like Martin or Webb they can build over time? Just curious if anyone has any insight or pure speculation.
Is it a company rule that KTM need to pick a second 250 rider?

1999. Crashed his brains out in 250 SX and was "washed up", until the 125 nationals came around and he won all but 2 or 3 rounds I think.

His crash in the whoops where he runs out to get his bike again only to have Albee ram his head with his front wheel is mye "favourite" mx crash. I can`t believe he wasn`t injured from that incident!

On topic:
I think both Anderson and Wharton can shine on the KTM. I`d keep both, but Wharton would not get paid anyhting except for bonuses. He usually gets a win or two in SX, so that should give him motivation to try hardwer and not ram people

Ferris is MX1 next year, Dixon Yamaha. He would be a good choice though, can also ride Supercross.

Confirmed? Sounded like he wasn't sure in your interview

Thats what I wrote earlier in the thread.

But then I read an article written by yourself on the Youthstream website this morning which seems to suggest he hasn't signed anything yet...?

'Of course Ferris, who races for the Steve Dixon owned Monster Energy Yamaha team, still hasn’t secured a team for the 2014 season, and will be looking at making the most of his current form to show some of the Grand Prix teams that he means business.

“I don’t know what I am going to do in 2014,” Ferris said. “I need good bikes to be competitive and I have learnt a lot from my time at the Grand Prix’s. If I can get a chance with Steve again in 2014 or another team is looking for a rider, then I am up for anything, but I really want to be in a team where I feel I can win races.”

Hopefully Cole Thompson. He really deserves a chance on a good team in the US, and he really wants to racethere. Pretty good at SX too!

I could also see him ending up at PC somehow.
Blake is massively underperforming - i don't see this happening.

Davalos didn't exactly have a stellar history either. . . But I agree, I don't think Blake and Mitch are a good match.

i know and i was going to say that as a comparison but wasn't Davalos brought on when they didn't have 2 up and comers like Hill and Ciancurilo (prob spelt wrong lol)

the future for PC looks strong again - if it is true that DW is going to run for them again in the coming year to deal with the demons of the last year or so then they should be in line for plenty of podiums and probably a title or 2

How about Todd Waters from the land down under.
