I think I read on another thread that Geico has extended his contract for 2 years, can anyone verify this?

If so, does this mean he will be on a 450 at some stage? Not sure when he gets forced out of 250's.

thanks.

If there was a guy who deserved it...Christian would be the guy.

Agreed, I only find it interesting as he was fast on the 450

He should be able to do another two years in the class, even if he wins the title next year. If he gets bumped, I'm sure HRC will honor the contract and put him under their tent on an HRC/Geico bike (like Bogle now and Tomac before).

Off topic here, but does anyone know what he status is on Bogle? I thought he was just missing A2 with his injury, obviously that wasn't the case.

Christian Craig is already a fan favourite and I can only see him gaining more fans. IMO, he is doing everything right and has the riding style (Everts like) to take it up a level or two. I was really impressed with the way he rode at Glendale and dug the way he rode that left hand berm after the rhthym section where he stood up all the way through it.

If Christian was to win the title this yr he would get bumped up since this is his 4th yr racing sx. Points dont matter if you win the title, only nunber of yrs youve competed in 250 sx. If he wins the title next yr he get bumped up.

I thought Forkner really set the bar when his contract sat on this site for a minute or so.... Whistling
It will never get better than a screen shot of the summary of terms! Pinch

Doing everything right as a road block. I know, that's racing. Have to pass everyone to win, whether it is on the start or simply before the checkers. Guy is doing great and earning the ride his wife got him. That being said, I LOVE watching Webb come from the back and make chumps of everyone. I know, Craig's a fan favorite right now, flame on fan boys!

Flame on fan boys? Are you kidding? You just made one of the saddest fan boy posts I have seen in a while. Did you really use all caps for "LOVE"? How old are you?

I'll never understand the people who can't appreciate a good battle between two talented riders.

Maybe you can email Feld and see if they will wave the blue flag at Craig anytime Webb is trying to pass him.
I'd hate to see someone make him work for it.

So you're on the Webb band wagon ? Lol

They are both riding great, Webb is obviously faster and at this point will more than likely win the title. Do you really believe that Craig is a road block ? Geez....
