Okay, here’s the deal with the Yamaha of Troy race team. They are not going to have Yamaha support in 2009. They will be the YOT, Boost Mobile, Monster Energy, AM/PM team with Jason Lawrence and Nick Wey as the riders. Lawrence has done a Fox gear deal, while Nick will likely stay with his longtime sponsor, MSR. Supposedly, the bikes will be all black with big Monster Energy logos. That’s a good thing, because you just don’t see enough Monster Energy logos at the races these days, you know? Anyway, it sounds like it will be a pretty cool deal and I’m stoked the YOT guys will be around again this year. In the current economic climate, that is a major commitment from those guys and I applaud them for it.

His suspension is over. I wonder who is doing their motors? I assume enzo will still be doing the suspenders.

The 08 suspension is over. The 09 suspension doesn't start until January.

Star and YOT went their seperate ways. YOT will not be Yamaha supported, Star will be. Also, the Wey thing isn't done yet-he's talking to some Honda teams.

I would choose Lawrence over factory support... When was the last time YOT had a national moto win? When was there last supercross win? Better yet when was there last supercross championship...

Rinaldi wouldn't waste his time with some muppet like Lawrence.

That muppet has more natural ability than any rider you have in your series.

I don't believe Rinaldi is really any better than the engine builders here in the US.

YOT with a Pro-Circuit motor + J-Law = Championship. If he wants it.

"That muppet has more natural ability than any rider you have in your series".

I don't have a series , you must have me confused with someone else. BUT if you mean he has more talent than anyone in the GP scene then you are so far wrong it's not even funny.

how can you say -4, the kid has amazing talent and ability, he just has to keep his head on straight.

No factory suspension. Is his suspension going to even be lifted?

I said minus 4 because I think there will be 3 riders that can beat him in a 7 race series
plus his self destructive nature = - 4
