Has there been talk of Drew Adams? I know he’s young but it would be cool to see how he would do at SX/ MX.

Weird time in moto at the moment with riders staying in 450's into their 30's and riders are not going pro in 250's until their 20's...

Are 450 guys much quicker then the 250's and riders just dont have confidence to move up? Or are is it a lack of talent in the 250's? or. have we seen too much dominate talent in 250's and its restricted riders proving they should be in the 450 class?

Maybe Factory Team number 7 will finally be what he needs to get that elusive Regional Title.

Your photoshop skills are amazing.

It’s fun to mess around with. I much prefer silly seasons where there’s more of these to do 😂

I think so too. 

But I don’t think bikes is what has kept Smith from winning a title. It’s mostly been gravity.

Himself and Forkner both should have wrapped a 250 title up years ago

Man, I have the feeling that contracts are opened up more often the past few months. First Marchbanks, now McElrath.. last year with Webb to Star Racing as well

Did this have to happen to make room for Craig?

From what I've heard, there may still be room somehow to keep Masterpool on green next season. No deal is done, but I've heard the door isn't completely closed. So fingers crossed something can still happen

He signed last week.

Absolutely, almost seems like there are two silly seasons now because of SMX. At least to me it’s logical that this the reason for these mid season switches

I'd guess it helped make room for Colt and Kenny since they are supposed to both be at Unadilla.

Wild, that can’t feel good for Shane. Hopefully hanging with Freddie helps him with his 450 speed.

Watching him ride around at Washougal pulling over to get lapped. Surprised it took this long for the announcement. 

Hopefully Colt # 45 will put it in the top 10 this weekend.

It’s remarkable how his career has gone since his 250 days. Guy has so much talent but not sure what the missing link is

Yaa it’s crazy, Shane should be in top 10 fighting with Mookoe and Craig and the 2nd tier of top guys imo. His results since moving up to the 450 blows my mind when you look at his 250 career.

Freddie has shown the bike is capable of top 10s, hoping Shane can put it in the top 10 where he belongs.

Sounds like some kind of a mental block with Shane. He didn’t gel with the 2019 ktm. He even rode the rode frame in sx then ktm had him switch to the new one for mx. Didn’t gel with the ktm 450 he rode for bto. Now doesn’t gel with the Suzuki. People need to realize the perfect motorcycle does not exists. Remember seeing videos from his amateur days on a beat husky and a beat honda putting it to people like cooper Webb. Seems like something mental there with Shane

Easy to blame the Suzuki but Shane, Norens and Bogles best results were on the yellow boat anchor

Agreed. Shane had a couple great finishes on the Suzuki.

Kenny is about to put Shane’s bike on the podium this weekend.
