Ivan Tedesco Will Not Race U.S. Open

C&P:

Racer X has learned that Team USA hero Ivan Tedesco will sit out this weekend's U.S. Open of Supercross at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Tedesco, winner of the Thunder Valley National earlier this summer, is one of several top riders who does not have a deal in place for 2010. He has ridden for the Honda Red Bull Racing team the last two years, but with budget cutbacks and an expiring contract, he was the odd-man-out after the team came to terms with Andrew Short and Davi Millsaps. (Ben Townley is also no longer with Honda Red Bull Racing.) Team USA has been 3-0 in Tedesco's three appearances ('05, '06, '09) but injuries on the domestic front hindered his success the past two years on the AMA circuit.

I also hope he gets something inked as well. He represents himself and our country well. He still has the speed, I really hope he can have that break out ride this year in SX. He is gonna need a good ride to make that happen.

Would have been cool to see the PC 450 ride go to IT. I'm sure he's worth a little more than Hanson, but he's ridden for mitch before and won him a tittle. Hope he can get a deal soon, always liked IT ever since his plano honda days.

How does the guy who finished 3rd in the outdoors and wins the MXDN lose a ride ?? Hanson get's a ride ??

I guess there's a huge asterisk next to this year.

I'm sure it has a little to do with the size of paycheck one must write to said rider. Tedesco is "too good" to get that ride...so to speak

I suspect some of this turns on what Tedesco wants and what Hanson wants for compensation. I'd be surprised if Hanson isn't asking for anything but a chance. Hasn't Mitch done the "you get a bike and get to prove it" ride with other guys (Gosselar, Walker?).
