Seems like there are a couple guys on factory rides that will not be there next year.
1. Moss @ Factory Suzuki.. He got a great start in the second moto but faded from 4th to 14th... Who will get the nod to be Dungey's teammate next year? Do they choose someone who is up and coming (like Moss) or somebody who is a legit threat to the podium week in and week out?
2. Nick Wey should not be on a factory ride next season. The guy is great for PR and seems like one of the nicest guys in the pits, but battling for a top ten spot every weekend doesn't seem good enough to be representing factory Kawasaki. Will it be RV and CP377 next year??
3. Honda has Andrew Short who has shown he is not only getting better (with 7 holeshots in a row, and a harder charging style) but who will be their other riders? Canard will be a solid addition to the squad, maybe another?
4. KTM 350, will they get a SX savvy rider to ride for them during the SX season to put that 350 on the box??
5. Yamaha.. Viva Stewart!!!
What are your thoughts??
Just bench racin here on a Sunday morning, time to go enjoy the beach.

Honda has Canard already signed rumor has it Pourcel and Reed are the other 2
Kawasaki. RV and I don't know who
L&M will be on Honda's next year.
Haven't heardwhat Yamaha's gonna do.
These are what I heard going around the pits at Millville two weeks ago. Honda wants a Championship again, and it looks like there buying there Champions again.

BTW, Stewart confirmed already that he is riding for San Manuel Yamaha next year. The only way he would ride hondas would be if Red Bull became the title sponsor, and they wont be because L&M already secured San Manuel for another 5 years.
Mitch said a while back that the fourstrokes increased costs by 3-4xs what they used to be. Not saying we have to bring back the 2-stroke but do SOMETHING!
