Don't know bout that...he's got a lot to do to earn that. Especially with rides shrinking.

I doubt Honda would take a chance on him.
Suzuki will have Reed and Dungey in the 450 class.
Kawi will have at least Villopoto.
Yamaha KTM??

I don't think one race, while very impressive, puts him in that category just yet.

That would actually be very interesting. Maybe even a team like factory connection. Windham only has a one year deal, right?

What a reality show that could be, Lawrence under DeCoster's tent, especially if Dungey was a tentmate.

I'll make the "and Monkey's might fly out of my butt" observation just to keep in interesting whichever way it goes, lol.

Lawrence probably could make more money with his private team if he can keep his head on straight.

JLAW will be.....

....at the titty club getting wasted friday night before the race...again and again. All the talent in the world but not enough motivation and I don't see that changing anytime soon, as much as I'd like to. I hope I'm wrong though because I love his riding style and his unique persona.

i heard that the big four all agreed to never sign him again...or he would have been factory this year.

but who knows...if he is serious about racing he might be. if he smokes dope with his buds maybe not.

If I had to guess, he will replace another 3 digit rider at Suzuki.

Motocross champ outdoors next 9 seasons in a row. Then run for Senate. He will go on to buy Mexico and then build a big mall on the moon. You heard it here first.

No way in the world would an honorable man like Roger hire anyone even half as much trouble as Jlaw. He has gone on record with his dislike of that guy. Maybe 800 will not be there but JLaw to replace him? Ha!

If he wins the 250 outdoors title this year he will end up on Team Honda.

If he does not win it then I would say Team KTM.

Talk about blowing your load early. A statement like that should come after a consistent season not a single race.
And replace Windham??? That would be Windham's call.

Yep JLaw is kicking Dungey's ass starting with east/west Vegas. He is a much better rider for sure. Roger will never sign a looser like Ryan..

Well, GuyB says that all the contracts are up so it wouldn't be ridiculous to think that Suzuki would choose the rider who has proven his ability to deal with pressure and win a championship.

Jlaw isn't a hot prospect for any big team. Look at Hill, he won a SX last year yet can't get consistant top fives this year . When you have Jlaws actions and just a few bursts of speed, the odds are not in his favor for a factory ride. Remember he turned a new leaf then messed up again this summer. Too much money and potential bike sales on the line for the risk invovled tying your brand to him. No matter how fast he might be.

7 SX rounds to go and the whole Outdoor series

I doubt the Factory teams have even short listed riders yet.

Would be very cool to see J Law on a KTM 450 though

JLaw and Hill are no comparison. JLaw faster and a marketing magnet. I say JLaw will be on a team like Sam Manuel or he will get enough support to keep his own team going. I doubt he wants to be on a OEM team, to many rules.

He will probably have his own team again next year with factory support from Yamaha.....I'd be suprised if they haven't already offered him some factory support and parts after his showing at Daytona.....this is the way the factories should be going anyway in regards to fielding teams so they get away from the big dollar factory salaries and budgets maybe bike prices would drop a little
