Whyyyyyyy would they sign Zach Bell???????

No hater but that kids has finished a handful of races in 2 or 3 years there are so many more talented riders that could fill the spots especially some high profile riders fresh out of lorettas that have nowhere to go.

Blake Wharton also comes to mind.
Bell = potential. He's still young. You can't teach fast, but you can teach a young bloke how to race and how to get better with race strategy.

I totally get what you're saying and where you're coming from. But I'd snap him up in a second, given the chance. I think pressure has been his downfall thus far. He's either not thinking on the bike or lacks race craft in general. I also find it hard to believe you can get to his position without race craft.

The future belongs to RJ Hampshire IMO. Kids gonna be a Star. Stamp that!

I would like to know this too , but they haven't been released any where that I know of. I've got money sitting aside waiting to see what the 16' RMZ250 is like. Hopefully it's a good report.

Since when has Suzuki released an MX bike that Isn't good? I know the bike will be good. All I care about is new plastics. I'm shallow like that Blush .

I choose the Women I ride based on looks alone as well.

Wasn't there a ride review video posted on the home page not that long ago?

i hope it is neither of the already existing factory teams, just for the fact I'd like to see MORE factory support in our sport rather than teams/ brands being substituted for each other.

I'm with you, but what team out there now could be "upgraded" to a factory team? Rock River is Yami and getting factory support, GPI Honda is getting factory support, Tedder, Blue Buffalo has a major sponson...... I don't know man..... I can't see any of those teams getting a full factory gig

No hater but that kids has finished a handful of races in 2 or 3 years there are so many more talented riders that could fill the spots especially some high profile riders fresh out of lorettas that have nowhere to go.

Blake Wharton also comes to mind.
Because he is shit fast and has a boatload of potential, it'll click with him, he's having struggles just like other young studs. AC for example.

I can't believe I'm answering this

Remember Guy Cooper was a factory Suzuki rider for a long time between mx and off road and he's the current manager for motosport honda and I bet he still has connections at Suzuki...

Rumors have been pretty strong that Dave Arnold is headed to Motosport and is taking HRC support with them, no?

I believe Geico is still under contract with Honda.

After all ML512 has said, I think the only 2 posibilities are PC or Crossland. I thought Crossland was supposed to become a factory Honda team next year but I guess ya never know. If PC goes to Zook I'd piss myself in excitement.

But also, if they really have been talking to Matty B and Bell it would make absolute no sense that it was Mitch. So I guess I'm laying down my money on Crossland and Cooper's Suzuki connection. I just hope if it is Crossland Cooper brings Nichols over. Kid has potential.

You'd have the best injury prone team in the game with Bell and Durham, just add Davalos and you're just golden.

Weege mentioned today on the LL broadcast that he talked to Pat Alexander from Suzuki at length and was told that the Suzuki team for next year is an existing team that will be switching brands. Any ideas on which team it might be?
Potentially they're putting the existing 250f riders on husky besides Osborne I have no clue

GD2 - I'll be a 100% honest, I'm really on the fence on who this 250 team is going to be. I had heard it was supposed to be an extension of the Yoshimura effort and as far as I'm aware, I think this program is going to working with Yoshimura on engines. It has to be a smaller team that isn't really locked down with riders and also doesn't have much invested in their own development in the way of engines... The Zach Bell comments are very recent but I've been hearing of Matt Bisceglia going there since before outdoors started.

I'm thinking the MotoSport team is a possibility (I've heard the Dave Arnold/HRC talk as well, maybe he'll just do his own program as I heard this was possible from the start).

Jack- Don't doubt a PC switch... their contract with Kawi is up and there's a question mark on $$$ when it comes to Monster... The last time their contract was up there were rumors of them switching, but I've heard a lot more talk this go around.
