I did, he would've been another stat considering his track record regarding injuries.

He'll get trounced in the GPs. And it'll take at least a year for him to adjust. I can't imagine him starting over and taking his family over there. Foolish move.

He's got a plan and it's not racing the GP's.

I don't see Josh leaving the states. His name carries more weight here which means more money. I did hear some rumors today. Kawi may be fielding a 3 man team this next season. And i think Josh himself likes riding for them.

But if he does good at Glen Helen it could impress the GP teams that might not know as much about his history of being a beast at Glen Helen. Does he have a contract yet for next year?

Purely speculation....I wouldn't be surprised to see him go up to Canada and race. Surely he would be a title contender. I don't follow the racing up there much, is Leading Edge Kawi full?

I'm not hating, but if I had to choose where to lay my corporate money...I'd be more inclined to lay it on Grant than I would on Hahn, although I believe Hahn has already inked for at least 2016. I just think Grant would be a more effective teammate for Tomac.

That said, Josh has a lot of experience on the Kawasaki and seems to be a good fit. I hope he gets the ride that he deserves.

I've wanted to be a Grant believer since he holeshot his first national on the Honda in 2004 (but then stalled it). The dude has incredible talent.
It's been a rough road since then!

There was Josh FLYING around the track....then there was EVERYONE-Else sliding backwards (other than Anderson) & at one point Josh pulled 13 seconds ahead...then he got smart and backed it off a bit and saved his energy for...

It's cool..not discrediting him, it's just that 1. It's GH where he always does well 2. The races are today.

Let's see how he does in the races, before signing him to a Factory GP ride. We all saw how RV kicked but in the quals earlier this year and then petered out in the races on Sunday.

I would be very surprised to see Grant getting a fulltime GP ride. The guy won a moto at Glen Helen 1 year ago. Against Dungey and Roczen. He's extremely fast at Glen Helen.

Give Grant one year working with Aldon Baker and his career would turn around.
