JGR should ring up Chisholm, the guy is solid and puts it in the main every week. He got a brief fill-in at JGR in 2014, but in not so shocking news it did not go well and he got hurt. Still, he's the guy the doing the most with the least making mains every week so he 100% deserves a shot.

Bloss on the KTM could be an option? He’s very familiar with the KTM, he was flirting with podiums outdoors in 2018 before ripping his ACL for SX last year.

Dan Reardon (Yamaha 250 & 450), Brian Hsu (KTM & Husqvarna 250), Cedric Soubeyras (KTM & Husqvarna 250 & 450), Thomas Ramette signed with Yamaha now in France but knows the Suzuki well, Charles LeFrancois (Suzuki 450), Thomas Do signed with KTM now but also knows the Suzuki well, Greg Aranda (Yamaha 450), Valentin Teillet knows the Suzuki also very well and has now his own Husqvarna team if I'm correct.

And all those guys will be qualifying for the main events, for sure if they are on factory material. After these names you've riders such as Fabien Izoird, Jason Clermont, Angelo Pellegrini, Adrien Escoffier, Nicolas Dercourt, Yannis Irsuti, Calvin Fonvieille, Maxime Desprey, ... Tons of French Supercross riders who have enough level to be a fill in. But maybe guys like Kyle Bitterman, Richard Jackson, Darian Sanayei, ... deserve a shot too?!
You've just basically named every european thats raced or is currently racing supercross in that list as being potential fill ins. Maybe some of them are fill in calibre, but when you throw names like Darian Sanayei who has attempted to qualify for exactly 1 race in his entire career and failed then you lose a bit of credibility.

I dont see Kawi filling in for AC, he'll probably be back in a month. JGR havent had any success with fill ins, i say they just throw AMart on for the odd race here and there and call it good.

A month out for AC?

Jett Lawrence has a similar injury and they gave him 2 months.

I think AC will be looking to the Outdoors.

Why would he come back to no chance?

Depending on how long Webb will be out, I wouldn't mind seeing KTM move Hartranft up. He looks like a big dude, so a 450 might actually work better for him.

alessi wouldnt be a bad fit as he has no ties, if he was still on Kawi in Canada he would be a decent fit. i could see him at JGR, hes been racing regularly, and as long as he just shows up and makes the mains who cares at that point.

bowers would definitely be a solid fit at Kawi, he's rode for them before and hes just a privateer which i imagine this is his plan

Webb will be back unless he's seriously injured. and unless KTM is contracted to keep at least one guy out there they wont show up

Phil is already contracted up here in Canada with the Rockstar Energy OTSFF Yamaha team. They're not going to let him go.

He's the defending Triple Crown Series champion with a very good chance to win it again this year. No way he's leaving to go to JGR.

Would it be cool? Yes. However, from Phil's standpoint it has to make sense for the bank account and that's staying up here.

Winning the 100k last year plus his salary and bonuses, I don't blame him.

He's made our series that much better, so I might be a little biased in him staying up here.

His steed for the year:
And by his twitter feed he wants nothing to do with these multiple dragon backs. And I can’t blame him!

You know...although I seriously doubt Trey would be willing to get behind a gate again for anybody, he would be a great choice. He's still riding regularly as the Honda test dummy...and might still be as fast or faster than anybody listed so far. The guys got a great attitude, and seems drama-free. I doubt he would win any races, but I'll bet he could still do top-15.

- Pastrana is on KTM
- Windham is much better without Vitards
- JGR is no go for Millsaps - they still got lockers in there

Trey has a really good gig with honda. A job he can do for years to come. Why on earth would he ever even consider quitting that job to race a few rounds on a competitor's bike?

You guys naming every Euro really need to get over it. I've been to a ton of those Euro races, and while some of those guys are fast, the Euro-SX race tracks (ADAC, French, etc...) vs the US race tracks is night and day.

You're basically asking nearly totally inexperienced (in AMA SX) racers to come over, with minimal testing, and be able to make mains.....that's crazy talk.

One other thing, many of you guys think that just because a rider doesn't have a factory contract, that somehow they have zero obligations to anyone....How much money you think ARMA or CBDmd has paid to CR22??
You don't think Chiz has obligations?
Bloss has obligations as well.

And then what happens when the primary rider returns, these guys can just hop off and hop on again, and no one will give a crap?

Chiz might be a possibility, as I don't believe he plans to race outdoors, but he still has sponsor issues
MA800 might be interesting, but there is some risk....

Best I have read on here is Hartranft, but he in a top 3 position if I remember right, want to risk his injury over a few one off races, especially when an even stronger outdoors guy?

I dont see Kawi filling in for AC, he'll probably be back in a month. JGR havent had any success with fill ins, i say they just throw AMart on for the odd race here and there and call it good.
That ain't true. The first set of riders are riders who are factory fill in worthy. The second set are riders are semi-factory or private teams worthy riders.

If I would name all European SX riders then I could name Håkon Fredriksen, Kevin Ballanger, Boris Maillard, Filip Neugebauer, Hugo Basaula... Tongue
