So he can't get out of his contract to ride for Mitch next year? Yamaha had the first right of refusal and they matched the offer according to Ping.

Best rider Star has and could win some races next year. Can see why they don't want to let him go. Anyone know who else Mitch has in mind? Who's the hot amatuers? Could next year actually be a weak year for PC. Obviously Wilson is gonna be top of the class and I think will take the outdoor title but who else?

It sounds like ProCircuit is Bagget, Rattray, Wilson and Hansen for next year according to Pingree podcast. Maybe a spot for another rider with Hansen being the utility rider.

Wil Hahn is on a red bike for sure (probably Geico).

Too bad for Tickle in a way. I'd like to see him on PC. I think he is just like Metcalfe and will rock on a 450.

Would Star be a good fit for Regal?

Star's got a "Catch 22" deal brewing here.
Sure they, Star/BLUE, were smart enough to have an option for themselves in regards to Tickle, however............,
If BT wants off the bus, The BLUE bus, do you
1) make/force him to stay by letter of the contract,
or
2) do you say, "C-ya" as you know he really doesn't want to play with you anymore.
Overall, if he does stay by virtue of the above, athletes have to be all things to perform
and get results, and the last time I checked, 1 of them was being a happy camper.
Good luck to both!

Rattray on a 250 again? Whats he been on a 125/250 since 2000 or somethin? He's a great rider and deserves his ride no doubt. If a guy can make a career on a small bike, should he be aloud to? Should he be made to move up and make room for the kids?

With Broc it's not gonna matter, all he knows is to give it everything he has regardless of what he is on or where he would prefer to be.

If Star has supported Tickle for the past few years its understandable why they would enforce this. He's finally become one of the premier guys in the lites class and they wanna get a return on him after all the money spent. He's proven he can win on the blue bikes. I believe Will Hahn is in the same situation with TLD because Geico wanted him.
