I know we don't want another thread for this but Im not commenting another post that has nothing to do what I want to discuss....
From following the stewarts religiously, ms27's social media trend, and rejected contract offers:
I firmly believe that MS27 is taking his bets on himself preparing on a kawi knowing that this could be JG33s last year, lack of kawis on the line, injury prone tomac/grant, thinking that if I accept this offer from Motoconcepts I may actually put myself more down list of getting a factory ride.
So hes taking it into his own hands, proving his talent on a kawi, and hopefully catches their attention. I respect him a lot for this because it makes sense, how did deano get the ride? he rode a ktm before, Justin Barcia? experience on a Yamaha and the new bike fits his style, jack weimer? rode a Suzuki all winter got a fill in role.
So I see what he wants to do, and honestly think the kawi suits his riding style like it always has had for the stewarts.
If he pulls this off, I think a lot of the haters will take a step back and respect why he has been like this lately. let me know what you guys think about this.

After last season , I think it was a mistake to pass on that MCR deal honestly. They have great bikes and a great team , that would have given Malcolm total support to show case his skills AND earn a paycheck.

The last Pro Circuit guy to graduate to a Factory Kawasaki ride was Weimer in 2010. Villopoto in 2009. Carmichael in 1999. Hughes in 1996. Pro Circuit Kawasaki champions like Wilson, Baggett, Tickle, Pourcell, Townley, Langston, etc. have not been given Factory Kawasaki spots in the past after winning titles and being Kawasaki guys.
As for a fill-in ride, I like that teams will step up and actually fill seats on their teams while riders are out with injuries. On the other hand, I hate that the instant a rider goes down, fans are throwing out suggestions that make no sense at all. For example, riders on other brands, or spots that would require them to give up deals that might not be there afterwards.
It likely shouldn't have been a surprise that Justin Bogle isn't available for this week, given that there weren't any riding shots of him from their team shoot. The team was probably looking for a different answer from a doc this week (considering that he's traveling to the race), and this one sounds more like a short-term vacancy.
But now I hear Malcolm won't be at A1 anyhow...
Pit Row
Certainly doesn’t look like Florida
Wookie should have taken the Motoconcepts offer.
