Looks like he won't be back at Geico Honda. "We’re going to miss the hell out of him." Team manager Mike Larocco.

Glad to hear he found a ride. He sure deserves it after his performance this summer.

Every bike on the gate next year will be orange if all these rumors somehow turn out to be true. Never before has one team reportedly signed every available rider. And some who are not available, The silliest of all silly seasons!!

I heard that KTM has bought the entire 450 program from Feld and it will be called "The KTM Sr. 450 Challenge." The only class available to other manufacturers will be the 50cc Jr class. Laughing

I've heard Suzuki more than once...and from the right people. But as far as I know, there's no autographs on the dotted line yet.

I found this thread interesting but I really have nothing to add. Just covering myself for two non controversial posts in non-moto.

The truth is Metty is not a top guy. With all of the talent moving up that waxed him in the Lites class he will never get a factory ride.

I totally agree.

He'll never beat a lot of the faster riders coming up. He's never going to win a title. Same with Townley and Short. Tedesco is moving backwards in his career fast, too. Josh Grant is too much of a flake and too inconsistent to be a title contender. Mike Alessi's window of opportunity may have shut, Reed is looking at semi-retirement, Bubs is all fucked up with his TV show and living large with all his Bling, Millsaps is burned out.

Who can challenge Dungey -
Canard?
Pourcel?

The field is so fucking thin these days in U.S. pro moto.

Metty should be considered a top guy since moving to the big bikes... I think he has been more than impressive on the 450's and deserves at least one more good ride.

You guy's do realize if you can't hire Dungey for a coupla million it's a wise investment to throw a buncha hundred thousands at Metcalf? Dontcha?

Dude put's in the work. Is a positive and happy guy that people like having around. A great teammate and he never lay's up.

And he never get's waxed. Ever. Get's beat by Canard or Barcia or Pourcel or Weimer but those dudes are fast too. But it appears he's got the 450 figured out.


Talent wise or speed wise he may be a few ticks off. But he is a whole race charger and solid indoors.

Expect Metty to be on the box at least twice this winter and in the top 5 a few more times....especially late in the season.

And remember they televise heat races in winter......he is a good hire for someone.

If Metty doesn't deserve a factory ride then nobody except Dungey in the 450 class does. People keep throwing Hahn's name out there as if he's the golden child. By the last few nats Metty was right up there with Dungey when it came to outright pace, just struggled finding the final piece.

He HAS to be on a factory bike next year, Minimal practice time on a 450 and amazing improvement throughout the year. He's got the goods and any manufacturer will be glad to have such a clean cut hard working rider in there stable.

Don't let it get to you. This is the guy that tells us every December that Stewart will go undefeated in SX. Just another guy at Vital that fails repeatedly at predicting the future but loves to keep telling us how things are and how things will be.

you boners should make fun of the guys with factory rides that shouldn't be on one if podiums are the measuring stick.

metty is better on the 450...plain and simple. we know that much but the new guys coming up might just be worse than on the 250.

factory rides don't matter anymore anyways...motoconcepts yamaha wants him so there....lol

Truth is your a Dumb Ass, and with all the people moving up and posting on this forum your posts are nothing more than Page filler, you will never have a clue!

Metty one of very few riders to even get close to Dungey all year long, but no the second fastest 450 rider in the AMA this year who proved he can race up front on a 450 will never get a Top ride!!!
