truth is no onr seems to know what it means other than reed and his inner circle

everyone has an opinion

mine is that it sounds like reed is going sx only and using grant for exactly what he paid him for to possibly podium a moto or 2 outdoors and make good tv coverage because of his name and known fan base whether he's like or not.

He's confirming no retirement and new backing ,strategies, &or leadership. truth is there isn't much knowing which is which without more details and information.

He has confirmed on numerous occasions he is riding outdoors as well as 2016 SX. Considering all the bullshit he had to deal with earlier this year, moving from 15th in points earlier in the season to 4th at the end is pretty solid. Just my 2 cents.

He's running for Miss SX 2016. Sure has the drama for it.

Pretty obvious that he's racing for the year 2015 is done, so no outdoors.
Being selfish means just that in this situation.. That wasn't cryptic nor annoying at all.

What's wrong with that, no need to make people read between the lines.

I respect the racer, not his social media skill's, nor the person.

Reed a "pioneer in the sport"? what makes you say that? When I think of a pioneer I think more along the lines of Decoster. Reed? eh, not so much.

I'm thinking Ellie would say no friggin way to that.

Can you imagine lugging three young kids around to all those different races? Maybe if they were older and could travel easier, it would be a cool experience for them.

Look at how many races they went to this SX season.

Pretty sure he has a 3 year deal with dt. That will end after nats. Then he will shut down 22 motosports and ride for someone else. He should have done that at rch.

If Decoster is the measuring stick, EVERY person in the sport in comparison would be a complete and utter failure.

I don't know what Reed is eluding to, but in the past, he's been pretty adamant about not leaving his team in limbo. He didn't start the team on a whim and I'll be surprised if his team isn't present outdoors one way or the other.

Wasn't Grant supposed to bring a sponsor on board? Did that ever happen? If so, who was it?

Most successful foreigner in AMA history.

Won 4 major titles and races all over the world with just him and his lady and now his kids.

Has basically beaten everyone from MC to now at one time or another.

Has his own team which he's also won races on and been fucking unlucky in two titles with it.

Nothing to see here.

Biggest problem with any of this is the designer putting the apostrophe on the wrong side of 15.

I am well aware of the situation. However, people are saying Reed's going blue, so there's a plethora of speculation out there.

Also, if it was still Kawi's maybe Davi could ride for 22 because he's not employed directly by Kawi he would be an independent contractor to 22 Motorsports.

Which raises another question; does part of the termination include a ban of competing on Kawasaki's? Surely this situation would put Reed in hot water with the OEM.

Maybe he is going to leave the outdoors to 33 and 26. It is a good time for him to go to Supercross only, IMO.

This is what my guess is. Step back, RUN the team and let other guys carry the torch outdoors. I think he REALLY wants a heavy title favorite and he's just had shit luck getting the right guy.

I thought he was still spending some of his own money to run Team 22 at this point, talked about it being a money pit.

The heavy favorites are all taken right now unless he stays with Kawasaki and they throw him a bone with Tomac but I don't see that happening, but who knows.

He's going to have to come up with some big additional sponsors if he wants to sway a big hitter to join his team in the future.

Time will tell.

As long as there's no legal issues preventing it - Does TwoTwo not seem like a very possible *potential* fit for Millsaps?? That's assuming Reed still wants to shell out the cash to support a 3 man team...
