Anyone that would make sense? It's too bad for Mitch that Malcolm got swooped up by FC. That would have made sense IMO. Doesn't sound like Josh Hansen would be interested. From his interviews it sounds like he's really looking forward to doing his own thing.

- Lemoine? (not sure if he could get out of his JAB deal)
- Blake Wharton? (I thought there were rumors of him looking for a deal to race SX, I haven't heard a thing though)
- Jimmy D?
- Michael Leib?

It's a short list of possibilities.... Anyone I missed? What do you think?

This topic has been beaten to hell. But I don't think Mitch signs anyone. He has 4 other riders and doesn't have to pull the trigger on a replacement. But I guess you never know.

Pourcel is pointed out of the 250s...still. Just like he was when someone brought it up last week.

And no, Mitch also isn't hiring J-Law.

He'd not hiring J Law? Why not?!?

Doesn't he want a Championship contender?

Not a 250F solution, put CP377 on a 450F

It's called East Coast. This is why Mitch doesn't show his cards until the last second.

Agreed. Would love to see what Blake could do under the direction of Mitch.

I like Wharton, but he's had his shot. It gets old seeing the same guys get rides and do nothing with the opportunity given to them.

This is fishing for people to call out their favorite privateer and think that rider now has a shot at a PC ride.

I don't think Mitch would use a rider like Lemoine, Decotis, Freise, Leib, etc. He would pick a rider who he genuinely thinks would have a shot at getting him a championship, not the fan favorite award. This late in the off season, negotiating sponsor deals is also extremely difficult. Dylan Ferrandis theoritically would be a cool choice, but the East coast runs too deep into the season to leave him time to prepare for the Gps.

Honestly, everyone available most likely wouldn't perform under the pressure of being on PC and grab wins over the riders already on solid teams. Having an empty bike during the SX season is better than having someone out there finishing 10th in a PC bike.

What about that Bubba Stewart? Couldn't he just go into that spot? That kid used to rip on 125s. What ever happened to him anyhow? I figured he would be the next King of Supercross

On a totally unrelated topic, who is Sean Hackley riding for? He ripped on the Disney channel.

I'm headed to Pro Circuit this morning to drop off some suspension, so I'll leave my resume on Mitch's porting bench...

There can only be 1 winner. Wharton has always been a front runner. I wouldn't say he has done nothing with his opportunities. From my point of view, I would say sometimes he has even tried to hard.

Let him fill Cianciarulo's spot in the West series while riding in the 450 class. If his results are above expected, then they can ship his bike to the remaining races as well (because there is only a spot free for west / east supercross races)

Pourcel has been riden Kawasaki's non stop so that would not be a huge differnence. Give him 3 weeks to dail in his bike and he will be able to compete.

Rowdy Sparks could get it done.....
If only he wasn't already signed to that Team Nami ride.

I do not think there will be a replacement, but if there is... My money is on Hansen.

Yeah because Josh Hill did not ride a PC 450 during the off season ... it is already built ... you people continue to amaze me ...
