Whose contracts open up after 2008?
Stewart?
Reed?
Millsaps?
Villopoto?


Probably several others I can't think of right now, but I'd bet every team out there goes after Reed with a blank check. He's proven time and time again he has the staying power and ability to stay injury free and can stay in the hunt for titles.

You realize you can't say that? Reed sucks. Don't you know anything? Stewart goes to JGR/Yamaha/Red Bull. Reed keeps his team, but bikes are red. And Davi goes to Kawi, Poto is on the new PC/Kawai/Insert big name sponsor here 450 team.

I have a feeling Reed will be on any team but Yamaha.
My guesses pure predictions nothing more, no insider info is:
Villo-Monster Kawasaki
Reed-Honda, private team
Stewart-JGR Redbull Honda
Millsaps- No clue

I dont think Honda would shell out THAT much money for both Reed and Stewart. One or the other?

I agree with ya there.

Reed won't be able to get what he wants at Yamaha so he goes with L&M/San Manuel/Rockstar/Suzuki. Stewart goes Red Bull Team Honda. Milsaps goes to JGR Yamaha. Villopoto goes Monster Kawasaki.

Reed and Stewart are going to join the KTM camp, and dominate.

Sounds like a NASCAResque way of restricting them so the rest of the racers can catch up.

Honda will keep Millsaps.. hes there #1 right now (Kevin is done)
Stewart will go to JGR.
Reed, probably san manuel Honda
Poto.... Monster Kawi.

this is not the offseason, no time for these rumors.
oh, and the whole 'ktm, bultaco...blah blah" sounds more stupid each time it's posted.

i'm surprised no on mentioned this yet...

anyone see the Reed interview in the new twmx? he said some surprising things about Yamaha. i dont have the mag in front of me so this is a paraphrase from memroy, but he did not seem to happy. he said "i am basically on a blue and white factory yamaha. the L&M guys arent allowed to even touch my bike. so they are a bit frustrated. it is defintely not what i was going for. but next year is open for contract, so we will see what happens"

that along with his open criticism of the bike on his TV interview in SF can't sit good with Yamaha.

No chance of JBS starting his own team, with Kawasakis's and Red Bull?

Thats why i said this
"I have a feeling Reed will be on any team but Yamaha."
He did seem pretty fed up with Yamaha. That same issue J-law is riding around in Fox gloves, im sure Fly loved that.

Won't happen with Kawasaki and Red Bull, or wont happen with any combination of sponsors? Seems like he would be happy having his own team, and he is a high profile guy, so I'm sure he could swing it if he wanted.

Hey! Millsaps is only 31 points behind Windham, and in perfect position to challenge for that 5th spot in the standings! Windham's nowhere near that!

I think he meant Windham is retiring.

Yeah, I meant this is his last season. I REALLY dont know why they picked up Tedesco...... what has he done in the last few years? (since switching to big bikes). Millsaps, if he stays healthy I bet will be at least 3rd in points very soon... 4 races?

Tedesco was good his first year in the 450 class. He was close to reeds pace. Last year and this year havent been so kind to him, injuries are really slowing him down. Im pretty sure he crashed at every single round last year.

why does everyone feel Yamaha is going to let Reed go, or better yet why would he want to leave? As for James, he is a shoe in at JGR.

I think the only thing that would make Reed leave is Stewart going to JGR and Yamaha not having enough money for James, Reed, GL, ect... On another note, I'm not sure how much Yamaha really gives them so who knows.

Bottom line, James will be on JGR and Reed will stay on blue. Yamaha will figure it out, trust me.

I personally Hope Honda passes on JS and goes after RV .

He wanted to have his own personal team to change things up a bit but Yamaha wont let him. Im going to be very surprised if he is on a yamaha next year.

No, proof IT was "close to reeds pace." The only time IT passes reed is when IT starts ahead of him and reed passes him then he tries to keep up for a lap or so and makes some bonzai move to pass him back.
