Probably nobody. A broken collarbone shouldn't keep him out too long.

It would depend on how he broke the collerbone.

Actually Suzuki has another bike that's already sidelined for the whole season.

I think the GOAT would be a decent choice, hes won a few races over the years. <img class= " title="Laughing">

Tedesco and Langston are out too... just because there is a open bike doesn't mean they can afford another rider.

After watching the US Open this year, I'd like to get Jeff Emig out of the booth and on the Zuk! He would be in the top 10. Offer him a few million, he might bite (with a nice insurance policy from Lloyds of London). Huffman could also do it.

I thought this thread would be about who was gonna send BobbyM some prozac.

A lot of guys that could have easily filled that spot such as Preston, Gracyk, Jeff ALessi, already have a ride now. Maybe there is someone down under is AUS or someone from Europe that wouldn't mind jsut coming and doing some races for the experience and a little cash, Sean Hamblin again? Mike Brown? Id sure like to see a guy like John
Dowd line up at the gate!

Ryan Dungey would be a good choice.

They arent going to put someone going for a lites title on a 450, definitely not. Even when the series goes on a break, they won't do it, its too much of a risk to have him out there on a bike in a class he hasn't raced in before while hes in the title hunt for a different class already.

Last i heard of Hamblin was that he was racing over in Europe, not sure if he is still there? Wish someone would give us an update, seems like the guy just dropped off the face of the earth as far as his media exposure goes.

Dungey's title hopes aren't looking so good right now. That punk from NJ is flying.

Lawrence is flying! The fact is though, Dungey is in the hunt still so they won't take any risks with him, would be interesting to see though!

How about Suzuki supporting a rider already riding their brand. I have no idea who this rider is, but he was the only other Suzuki in the LCQ last night:
Finished 9th in the LCQ
#586 Dennis J Ewing Bonsall, CA Suzuki RM-Z450
He was a little over 19 seconds from making the main without the factory setup

Now that I look at it, there was only 1 other Suzuki (DV12) in the main, looks like they could use some additional riders in the big show...

The problem with that is, and im not saying this is the case, but Dennis may not have quite proven himself as yet, and a factory is going to want to give that ride to someone that will definitely put them in the main every night, and probably even more so, finish in the top 10. It would probably do them more harm to hire someone that doesn't make the main, than to not have a rider on that bike at all, i could picture the general public who think they know mx (but really don't) saying "Suzuki's are crap, they didnt even make the main tonight". Now once again, this is not to say that Dennis wouldn't make the mains, he may very well be capable of making them every night, but does Roger know that for sure? It is a risk, if you can see what i mean. It would be a lot easier for them to just find a seasoned rider who for some reason doesn't have a supercross deal this year and give it to them.

You mean Sean Hamblin? Yeh we mentioned that earlier. I think so too, but am not sure if he is in Europe still or what his deal might be.
2/10/2008 7:26pm
Hamblin is probably shacked up with some Ukrainian hooker in Prague at this point.

They should give the bike to Jeff. Duh. Isn't he riding his own off the rack Honda right now?
