The rest are right were they should be, injured, or close to where they should be due to injury.
So sick of this mentality in motocross. Top 10 in ANY other sport is god like status.

millsaps, villopoto, ferry, short, hill, hepler and windham. i will give kw a bogey because i guess his bike failed.
And for the Alessi "outdoor only"? Why the fuck would he do that? He's leading every race for a few laps, 7th in points, got a podium and ALWAYS in the top 8 that someone effectively has argued we should CELEBRATE! And he get's his yellow bike on TV.
Great job you skinny little fucker. Booby picked a great kid to cheer for.
Alessi is only gonna get better at SX and so are the others.
Millsaps has been taking advantage of a spot most would kill for so I don't expect him to be back on Red next year and form some of his interviews I wouldn't be suprised if he even comes back next year after all the money he's made ....Hill has had 2 shoulder injuries this year already and has won but we'll see....Doubt they'll keep IT9 either
Not a whole lotta room on other teams either, many factory riders will get a reality "check" for next season's contract negotiations....a lot of fat will be trimmed due to the economy...just hasn't hit them yet
He needs to figure out getting some good starts like he did many SX races last year and stay healthy for a while..
He's got GL8 back to work with during the Nats. Kid is 19 and got serious skills that GL8 could really help him lots.

My GUESS (like everyone else on this forum) is more outside sponsorship to pay for factory equipment hence more factory equipment to go around. I bet Mitch Payton is rubbing his hands more and more as he is in the box seat with his supply network
Thats my GUESS (not a conference call)
Gotta go have a conference call to attend Husqvarna is calling with a lot of BMW dollars to get back into the AMA scene
L&M and JGR are first class 450 examples. Pro Circuit & FC have been doing it for years in the 250 class.
Then it starts to look more like NASCAR and MotoGP.
Just my opinion.
P
Yet all the guys mentioned start midpack, pass him and they should be fired.
I'd love to see:
-Factory's scattering their budgets into established support teams.
JGR, PC, L&M, FC, Star- Nascar stlye if you will.
-Performance based contracts on top of a reasonable base salary.
-A real support class like i've said a million times.
Ramsey talked about it in his last racerx interview as well.
I see Dungey staying with Suzuki as he is Rogers pet project. I wouldn't have any problem keeping Alessi on Suzuki. They finally have seemed to found somewhere that doesn't expect him to be on top of the box in SX, but they do with outdoors. Like someone else said, Alessi is the talk of the announcers for a couple of laps every single weekend!
I think these teams will have the upper hand in the future, not only attracting the sponsors, but getting the top riders.
For example, Grant Langston is looking for a ride for the outdoor nationals. If he approached one of these teams with good equipment, they could then possibly get a sponsor to agree to fund his salary for the series. Right now, unless there is an opening in the team because of injury, the yearly budget of most teams prohibit adding another rider.
Of course, then we get into the debate of making SX/MX more attractive to outside sponsors.
Do you make it more entertaining, or to you keep it more traditional?
Will these new TV deals help the teams getting outside sponsorship?
Will the promoters be less restrictive with the sampling of products in the pits?
