I would actually stretch it and say the series have always been equal despite RC most likely being the fastest over any euro at any point. But again at least many of us can at least agree about the equality recent years. And since that will probably provoke the mental midgets that can stand the equality thing they can pound their chests loudly over team USA unmatched superiority. The not mental midgets can of course be happy and proud over team USA as well, but in a more balanced way I assume! Smile

Yes, see you at the Wick!

Blake or Tyler? I hope its Tyler! He needs a good bike and the GP track would probably suit his style better.

Send him over here, we'll send him back with his tail between his legs or he'll step up and remain here until he becomes a true Champion, He could end up on a KTM secondary satellite team but a real KTM team is out of the question for him,.
You're a volume shooter.

Remind me how RC did in 1998 and 1999 MXDN? Thats right, he was lapped by the Euro goat!

Whoever thinks the GP's suck, pleeeease speak to Albee Smile Before and after injury he has struggled! But hey least he should get in the top 10 this weekend, what with only around 10 regulars in MX1!

I don't think Tyler would break top 10 in Europe.

Another 3 race US wonder. Send them over to us to weed out and put their careers to a gentle head on crash into the brick wall of delusion and reality

Of course, forgot about that. Well RC then became faster obviously!

Tortelli is helping him for the last 3 races. We'll see if this pays off but I would bet he stays at FCR.

He's their second best behind Canard.

Factory KTM in the gp are looking for a rider since they are losing Musquin to the US they just have Herlings. They were looking at Zach O but he resigned with Dixon. Van Horebeek is the most likely to get the ride but Wharton on west coast 250 and GP could be cool to see

Blake Wharton has good experience with KTM already. In 2007, he won the Junior Worldchampionship 125 in Bulgaria on a KTM.



So why not again Orange?

MotoConcepts is only going to have 4 riders next year. Two 450 riders and Two 250 riders. The only rider that will be there from this year is Travis Baker. That's because he signed a 2 year deal. I know who the 450 guys are but i think i might make you guys wait..lol.. Here's a little hint..They are new to the team
Why would they get rid of Sipes and Chisholm? And I thought Sipes already had an offer from them.

Wharton stays at FCR so far. He needs better starts and he'll be fine.
@Huckster: I'm watching all the races. What's up?

The dude just loves to ride. Why else would he knock his front teeth out, go to the hospital and get it stitched up with one fake tooth that night, take a hard slam in a first turn crash in moto 1 and soldier back to a 10th? Imagine what his mouth must have felt like going around that washboard of a track. Name one rider on the gate who would have done that here on a factory team after losing the championship the previous round. Just out there racing for fun with no teeth like it's no big deal.

250 National points standings:

2nd Canard
5th Barcia
6th Tomac
7th Wharton

Seems to me from the results that he is bringing up the rear on that team?

With Trey and CP moving to the 450 class Wharton could be a championship contender next year.

Wharton is way to flamboyant and over the top american to live in europe and race the GP's. He would hate everything about it. The music, the tracks, the weather, the food, the chics, etc.
Not going to happen.

Actually, Wharton is one American racer that would adjust to Europe well. The only thing he would miss is Clark's BBQ.

With Musquin and Roczen in the US, Wharton would clean up the MX2 class.

Against Searle and Herlings? Don't think so.... I think he would be in an around the top 5 though with maybe a win or two.
