there's about 21:57 mins left to race after that gate drop.

like when Alex Ray almost used up his 9 lives at GH on the Yamaha.

Not a put down, just facts. Where did he finish?

This got downvoted but it’s the only option that makes sense. Freddy has proven that he can run with the best pretty consistently outdoors when he’s on a factory bike.

He’s on a 21. 
 

 A fill in ride is about 2200 a week, I wonder if it would be worth it for him.

He gets 5k to holeshot a main.

Going to be a short turnaround time going from HRC Honda to Husky after SX is done and outdoor begins. 

Probably the best guy for the job that's available.

If you are a guy like JS17 or Colt Nichols looking past a factory fill in ride over a wsx ride you are beyond crazy. Let's say the wsx ride is better money but let's look long term. Both of the guys could get lucky and run top 5 outdoors. Set yourself up for the future and not for the present.

Colt Nichols will be working hard just to get some top-ten finishes this summer at best. I like him but he has barely raced over the last year+

Max Anstie? Joey Savatgy?  both could probably get on the box on a good day and a track they like.

Marchbanks signed a 2-year extension with Club MX before the 2023 SX season started.

Both are contracted to race WSX.

I figured as much, but I thought those series, did not conflict with each other do they?

They do conflict, there are two overlapping rounds this year. Anstie specifically is contracted to FirePower Honda for US SX, WSX, and Aus SX for this year and next year.

Phil is injured and is unlikely to make the start of Pro Motocross for the team he's contracted to, ClubMX.

In Savatgy's case, he's shown over and over what he can do in the 450 class here and it hasn't rewarded him with a solid ride. He's getting paid well to race WSX. Racing moto is a dream but it's also a job/career and he has a family to feed.

With the lack of fill in options. RJ to the 450 at least for outdoors is making more and more sense.

Then who does Husky put on a 250?  They have no other contenders in that class.  Huskys best shot at a win in MX is RJ on a 250.

Swoll and Hawkins will be on 250's outdoors.

Too bad LeBlanc gave up, he would have had quite a few opportunities on good equipment this year.

Maybe he doesn't want it?

Fill in rides are notoriously low paying and he would only have a few rounds to figure out a new bike because he is still on the previous generation Austrian bike.

Sure, it'd be awesome to ride a factory bike but he's doing pretty solid on what he's got and seems to make a decent enough living to keep going.

I don't think "gave up" is the correct term to use.
