What are some rides that you forget pros had until you start watching all these old races? A few of mine:

Ben Townley, HRC 2008 (and 2009?)


Nick Wey, Team Jlaw 2009


Branden Jesseman, PC 2008


Matt Moss, Suzuki 2010

Is Jesseman or Bentley the most forgotten regional SX champ ever?

If Reed hadn’t come back to Kawi, many would forget he rode one in 2010.

I sometimes watch races from a few years ago and somehow I’ve completely forgotten Barcia rode a Suzuki until I see it.

McGrath on the KTM a lot of people forget.

Canard on the KTM I never remember.

Mcgrath on a KTM has an asterisk though, no? He raced it what, once? Otherwise if memory serves me correctly, he just did opening ceremonies for his farewell season on a KTM

Agree on those mr Death.
Oh what could have been in 2010 for Kawi with RV & Reedy on the team.
Reed won the opener at Hangtown then got Epstein-Barr virus.....

CP377 on that YZ250F is a good shout. He qualified fastest 10 out of the 12 rounds if i remember correct? Maybe it was less than 10 but it was a crazy amount of first places in the qualifying sessions for him that year but he wasn't fit enough to battle for wins.
