I haven't read about anything announced.

If Stewart actual decides to show up and ride again it would be nice to see Bisceglia (sp?) get a shot at it with the rides he has put in for Suzuki so far in the Nationals.

Leok would be worth talking to, tough experienced son of a bitch, has scored points in every Moto this year on a unsponsored almost stock bike

Herlings?

Seriously though, I think leok is in a contract with KTM (gncc or something) that he can't get out of. Maybe call up Cody cooper?

Jasikonis raced over here in the UK, on a 250F and was quite a small guy, good in sand, i'm guessing he was very young back then because he is a big guy now, be interesting to see what he can get from the bike.

He`s a big guy for sure. I`ve seen him race A LOT since he was on 65cc. He`s been through ups and downs but never gave up. Very cool that he got the opportunity of the lifetime. This is just as big for Lithuania as Jonass getting a factory ride for Latvia.

Yeah sure, but it always amazes me how certain riders can make a living. He's good, no doubt, but getting a decent salary mainly doing domestic championships? Come on.

He has good loyal supporters from Lithuania. His whole UK racing journey was sponsored by energy drink company founded by Lithuanian businessmen and based in UK. Local riders have support from local businesses. For example, my brother forks up around 40000 a year to support a local boy chasing his dream. It is expansive and there is no financial return, but without that there would be no racers left or only rich kids racing.

I think he rode for MVRD , through Route77, who have also back Gert Krestinov, and Tanel Leok.

Its good these people step uk, they usually come to the UK first

I think Arunas Gelasninkas was the same too.

Jasikonis is a good choice i feel, he's solid. Saw him at Lommel earlier this year and he was hauling!

Arunas had a horrible crash. Never really recovered.
Route77 is that company, head of which is Lithuanian.
