I expect Jett will be aiming to be back for the Nationals, but giving Jo a go in 450 SX after his fingers have healed is not a bad idea. 
If Jett is not in for Outdoors, then Webster is a no brainer.

Looks like he's ready for the challenge. 👌

As a Brit I'd love to see him over there doing some AMA rounds, but he's renowned for not travelling well and struggles to carry his home speed to overseas races. It'd be great to see that reputation proved wrong though.

For whatever reason he's not nearly as quick abroad than he is in the UK.

A mate and I have dubbed it 'confMewseion' or that we are 'confMewsed' his results.. Where at GPs he'd be battling inside the top ten but the next you'll only see his name rolling around in 19th and everyone just shrugs their shoulders haha

Post of the day. 

As much as i laughed when i read it, it would be great to see him have a go at AMA. 

He will be riding at the Hawkstone International this weekend, and i may get to talk to him, i might ask him.

So how did he do at the Lommel GP last year.? 14th/17th...

Not trying to knock him down but the results don't show much "change". The UK scene is a very poor standard at the moment and being the top guy here isn't relevant to running at the front of MXGP or the AMA.

So with Jett now confirmed out, Honda may look find a replacement this year. Why not Conrad Mews ? He Is already familiar with the Honda, has elite level speed & has shown an interest in competing the ama nationals this summer.

No point risking him in sx, get him there early to get well set up for the first round of the nationals. 

If anyone needs reminding off his speed ask Herlings..

There's more likelihood of HRC developing a serum to bring Mahatma Gandhi back to life and giving him the ride than Conrad Mewse getting the call up.

He was announced as riding  even after his injury.

I know they are Aberdeen doing AX the day before , but they were always doing that . 

Shame if he isnt, it never ceases to amaze me how many British riders would rather be busting out laps at the compound, rather than getting gate drops at the track where there first round is, this has never made sense to me.

Pulling some sick whips for the 'gram makes for better content than getting beaten up by visiting international riders.. 🙄

You will get your wish as he is heading over to do 2 rounds of the AMA Championships at the end of June, beginning of July.

That's awesome news! He's the best rider we've got by quite some way; it'd be a shame if he'd carried on seeing his career out just racing domestically.
