Rattary lets the cat out of the bag...

Q: How do you like the lifestyle over there, the weather has to be better than here in europe?
Rattray: It is a lot like South Afircan and very different to Belgium where I lived in europe, the whole lifestyle is different. I have some new friends, also Grant (Langston) lives down the road. But I haven't seen too much of him, he is also trying to get ready for the outdoors, I think he want so do that, he seems all healed up now. His eye is a lot beter now, like 90% good to go. I think he will race this year. He doesn't help me too much anymore with tips and stuff.

It could be a Yamaha-fest in outdoors, with him, Hepler, Cody Cooper and Josh Grant.
Its terrible to see a rider go through something like this, especially the defending champ
Super excited to see another good outdoors rider actually race MOTOCROSS.
Pit Row
The AMA needs to consider not scoring riders who do not race the entire series in the 450 class. No points. No recognition. Sorry Stewart & Reed but unless you nut up and race the entire series please stay on a sunny island and have fun driving your $300,000 cars.......you deserve it. Let the men who deserve it have thier time in the sun. Don't ruin it by showing up for the sponsor money and making a mockery of the outdoor nationals.
Maybe this should have been its own thread but I am lazy tonight. Just saying.
Rattray sounds like he's bitter and wanted to take a shot at Langston. Just reading between the lines with what he said. Why would a "friend" say something like that?
Riders don't have the choice between a PR contract and a racing contract. Langston's deal was obviously restructured when it was clear he wouldn't be racing for a long time, but Yamaha still wanted to keep him part of the company.
Jackson-Bell, who was a professional motocrosser before switching to road racing, was seriously injured when she was knocked off her motocrosser over a jump during a track day at Glen Helen MX Park.
Jackson-Bell was tail-whipped by KTM-sponsored professional motocross racer Grant Langston, who threw his bike sideways as he passed Jackson-Bell. His rear wheel hit Jackson-Bell's arms and upper body and sent her flying off her bike and to the ground from a height of about 16 feet, according to her husband and tuner, Tony Bell.
Jackson-Bell's left femur was pushed up through the hip socket--which was broken in 30 places--by the impact, Bell said.
Bell reported that Langston and his mechanic told him at the scene that the collision was Jackson-Bell's fault and that throwing the bike sideways in mid-air over a jump is a necessary maneuver
