Fernandez can’t even make it three rounds in sx. No one like him. They need a good ole US boy on the team.

Justin Cooper. Absolutely ridiculous he didn’t race the 450 all year in supy anyway. The 450 class will be easier than the 250 class this summer he’s almost a shoe in for 4th

Do we think they need a fill in rider at all? Or they could buy Webb out from his contract early and have him jump in to the series midway to get some data for 2024?

Only a few "good ole US boys" have a 450 class number one plate, people might not like him but Star Yamaha should does.

My thoughts exactly ! 

Damon Bradshaw and Ricky Johnson duked with the pros in the premier class, while they were youngsters.

That 450 can be tamed down if needed. Or claimed. He's got the skills... imagine his fans... "DangerBoy Dukes it out with the big Boys" Woohoo Now that's entertainment ! The haters can line up behind the fence to flip him off on the track

Main event moto inside joke. Term of endearment.

He smoked all your 'good old US boys' in his rookie 450 season or you talking about Rubén Fernández? Who also probably beats most Americans outdoors

I'll add Ferris also seems to be on another level when it comes to setting up a bike, evidently leading the Australian mx series on a proper privateer set. 

 

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but he has won every moto he hasn't crashed or had a bike malfunction hasn't he?

Going to be a sad outdoor season behind Jett and Sexton. The race for 3rd should be entertaining DF,AP,AC,JA.

I wouldn't write Ferrandis off, starts and crashes held him back at the MXoN, but he was riding like an absolute madman there. If that Ferrandis can show up they need to be worried.

I thought the same thing, why didn't they have him on a 450 the last couple rounds?

Weak euro-trolling.... No one hates Ferrandis and no American says "good old U.S. boys."

You would think these teams would do more fill in rides, or you end up with a ton of infrastructure at the races supporting like one guy. How many rigs does Star take to outdoor rounds, can they fit all the 250 guys in one rig?

Seems like the issue with fill in rides for MX is that most of the hurt guys will be back to race some rounds at some point.

Webb, Craig, Barcia, Musquin all will be able to race outdoors at some point. Malcom will be 6 months out from ACL surgery in August so he wont race but man he will have some time to get prepped and come out swinging for SX.

I think 2 450 guys will hold them over until Eli is healed up. How many 250 riders could they bump up? I bet Kitchen ain't sceered.

He was the fastest guy there.

If they want to fill the spot I’d like see Vlaanderen on the bike
