Guess everybody has their own "source" if you live anywhere near SoCal.

Honda letting Tomac walk would be almost as foolish as letting MC and RC walk. If this is the case, I predict a decade before it wins a big bike title. Tomac has unreal upside - potential to dominate soon.

In two 1/2 years Kawi running Tomac and AC92..... powerhouse team

Don't think you need to be an expert to see he's not really happy. He's pretty much said a thousand times this year he's changing the bike over and over. Air one week, springs the next, factory swingarm this week, stock the next blah blah blah.

Funnily enough a lot like what Reed was doing last year.

Yeah, if I were Honda I would be trying everything to get Canard and Tomac locked down long term.

Millsaps and Brayton is what I heard at Red Bud, with Grant possibly starting his own deal.

I'd like to see Pourcel get a shot if Tomac doesn't go there. I think he has more potential than anyone else in the running.

Can't imagine any team is clammering over each other for James' sig any more. Not gonna win a title, now the PED drama and he's not exactly a spring chicken. I'd guess next year is his last and that's pending the WADA review.
Why don't you sign?...Dry

One rumor I heard last weekend had Brayton in the Valli (Yamaha) rig, and Wilbur at JGR.

I think that was the case for Supercross, not so much for the outdoors.

It's nice to see Chad on a bike that is no longer holding him back.

And Reed came back from knee surgery and limited time on the 2013 CRF 450R. Last Saturday Moto 2, the CRF450 was definitely holding back Tomac.

*RV is going to race one more year...but enjoy it more I would guess. Perhaps that is what the Aldon thing is about.
*With Barcia going to JGR...someone there is going to be looking for a ride. Grant would be the 1st to go I would guess...as Brayton was better in SX. Are they both up? If Wil is there...that puts TWO good guys on the street.
*Then there is the 2nd ride at RCH next to KRoc. Peick seems to be looking better every week. I mean come on...look at the guys who finish ahead of him...Dunge, KROc, Stew, Tomac, Trey. He is the best of the rest right now....and he is about as good in SX as he is in MX. Where are Tickle and Hill going if WP40 stays on at RCH?
*Is Weimer out at Kawi? That would mean Grant...Brayton...Tickle and Hill possibly gunning for the other factory Kawi ride.

Looks like a lot of good guys with not enough rides.....

He's riding great, but he's basically been quoted a bunch saying he's still chaging the bike, not clicker adjustments, forks, swingarm etc.

That says not happy to me! You don't go swapping major shit like that if you're happy or even close to it.

Yeah, he's going to totally suck when he goes back to the brand he grew up racing on....

Pourcel and Millsaps would make an interesting team for Kawi.

I'd like to see a Millsaps/Metty combo.

I like Metty but I don't think he gets the invite this year. He needed to do more this summer IMO. Too many other fast guys out there that will do better indoors.
