Good. It'll be better for JM in the long run.

I never understood why or how his parents ever entertained the idea.

Any updates on Deano? Chances he ends up on RCH (I mean, if it's still named RCH in 2017)?

I know right? He'll be much better off racing for less than half the money on a different team.

A guy that no one really talks about, but is consistently creeping towards the front lately is Brian Bogers, he keeps getting better as the season progresses, don't know what his contract status is.

From this week's Racerhead:

"For Martin, his injuries are one thing, but there’s some real tension under the Star Racing awning. The two-time defending 250 champ has been pitting apart from his teammate Webb, and even his brother Alex. Now we hear he’s asked for an early release from the team, possibly in the hopes of showing up at one of the USGP events on a red bike, to get as much of a jump on his competition as he can, and maybe take a little revenge on his old team. Again, this is a what we've been hearing and nothing has been finalized."

I'd love to see jmart on that honda at the gp's but who will be there from star racing to take a little revenge on? webb? well I assume he will be on a 450 anyways.

Good.

I hope he stomps all of them.

Could be Swoll, especially since James & Malcolm have taken the kid under their wings lately. That being said, Jalek being tight with the Stewart's makes it imaginable that a Stewart/Husqvarns partnership might come to be.

Would husqvarna really take on two energy drink sponsors? I know they are separate teams and all but it just doesn't feel right

Did you really ask that. Husqvarna is owned by KTM. KTM is Red Bull. There would be no issue but I am sure it was Jalek. But then again, James may be getting in good with Husky through Jalek. Never know I guess

I am aware that ktm owns husqvarna. And no ktm isn't redbull (wtf kinda claim is that). Redbull sponsors ktm. I just think it would be funny having redbull ktm redbull husqvarna rockstar and rockstar husqvarna. That's just mo

Is Blake Wharton going to ever actually coming back to racing? He kinda dropped off the grid doing his music, but lately I see pics of him in Alias gear with 6D helmets testing bikes...and still looks fast, but I don't see him getting any team rides after being gone so long...
Talked to him about a month and a half ago, said he has considered coming back as a privateer at some point, but didn't really elaborate as to how serious he was about it.

He's going to college and doing work for RacerX on the side right now, so I'm guessing it's not his #1 priority. It would be cool to see him hit at least Dallas SX next year.

If he's putting school as a priority to racing...he's a smart dude. Maybe he won't be one of the thousands of under-educated guys who leave racing and have to take menial, deadend jobs because all they ever learned how to do was twist the throttle harder. Kudos to Blake!

From another motosite:

Motosite: Talk about the USA thing. Since I remember meeting you the first time it’s always sort of been on the horizon, maybe going to America. How excited are you to go there?

Brian Hsu: I’m really excited to go there. For a long time I was going to go there already and now I have the chance from Suzuki. I think last year or something they did not have the 250 team so now they are going to make one. I still haven’t signed a contract yet because we will go over there to talk, so we will see.

I know many have mentioned a possible Yosh 250 only team and cutting out the 450 program. Maybe signing on/merging with Jimmy Albertson's team (again already mentioned). I know there have been a ton of threads on this but I think it's interesting

He should have been a lot better than he was the last couple of races, going into needing a ride!
