Does he get another year at Star?

I reckon he's actually been ok... some shit luck, but who knows.

Would really like to see him on a 450, he really does ride it better. Can barely hear him ride sometimes, just lugs the bike.

I think it would be a good move on Star's part to keep him for SX only. It's always good to have an experienced guy on a 250F team to help the young ones with bike setup and be there consistently, week-in and week-out for results.

Would be good to see him get a 450 ride, either way considering it was a last minute deal he has had a pretty good run at it for an old fella

His current deal is SX only.

He doesn't want to race Nationals in Australia. He's hoping to continue to land SX only deals in the US and Australia. Rotate those for a couple years...

Ah didn't know... He really needs a shot on the 450, surprised he hasn't been able to finagle a 450 for any of the east rounds.

Would be a smart hire for motoconcepts.

I think he would be around top 15 on a 450 but not that much higher unless things fell his way on the night. Didn't he fly home for a week or two why the west has been on a break?

No idea mate. Maybe seeing family, and I guess he has some there too, the Sleeters right?

Thing is, he's such a good starter, he could probably get top 10 by that and it being hard to pass... He raced Brayton/Grant/Peick the last few years and was same speed or better.

Yeah his sister married Michael sleeter plus his missus is from the US also I think. I don't think his fitness is were it was 12-18 months ago something just doesn't look right with him on the bike looks very rigid, last year in Aus SX he was just not there he looked patchy not as consistent as he was the year before when he won the title, maybe the drive wasn't there last year like the year before when he and mossy were at each other every round (for personal reasons).

There was a couple of small interviews on Aussie sites during the break, pretty sure he came home to get everything sorted, maybe even Visa. His call up to Star was pretty last minute so he did not have a great time to get things sorted at home before flying out.

ML is right, Reardon's plans from what he has said is to bounce between SX in the U.S and Aus, would be cool to see him line up in some of the Euro SX races as well.

Will be good to see him back in action later this year in Aus.

Was that when he bailed after the first moto in Murray bridge? I was there and quite a few people were saying it was bizarre.. what are your thoughts? I have heard a few theory's around it.

He is indicating that Reardon bailed due to the drug tests being performed at the Murray bridge round of mx nationals in 2016, the same test which eventually had positive samples for the moss brothers

I heard the same thing, found out they were testing and bailed. Is it also a coincidence that they all used to train together through his fitness business prior to Reardon pumping mossy' misuses
