So, Kenny is coming back, but who’s going to be the #2 and /or #3 guys? 

Do they bump Nichols down to #3 guy to replace “The Chizz” and hire someone more capable of scoring podiums indoors and out for the #2 spot;  a vet like Jason Anderson OR an up and comer that would remind you of a Coty S. a few years ago?!?

Who would you like to see on a Yellow bike in 2026? 

Also….are there any team changes involving Suzuki in the near future? What are the chances of seeing a decently funded yellow 250 team?

I would like to see a new rider in the 450 class. Marchbanks, Vialle, Swartz somebody like that would be a nice fit. Maybe Vohland.

I’d like to see Anderson on the Twisted Tea side, there’d be a good chance of having 2 Suzukis on a 450 podium in SX with Kenny and Jason.

Conan Brothers would be a good fit for the twisted tea team. Kenny as a mentor while riding it out a couple more years. 

Suzuki has been putting in countless hours on developments Ive heard.  The new graphics are looking good.  😊 

Bike can still win and easy on the kids college funds.  🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't talk about Suzuki riders. The homophobes that freaked out about SMX's Pride Month post will melt down.

I know you’re probably joking, but they aren’t old enough to be sponsored by twisted tea anyways.

Drakes father in law is one of the owners at BarX, and I thought Schwartz rode for the progressive team the first year Kenny came on board and then went back to the BarX team.

I believe you are correct on both. 

What other available “fast guys” are out there that would make a good fit with LB and Kickstart Kenny?
