With his success at the 'Nations I wonder if he will get any offers from the GP Teams? It seems there are more good racers than teams in the U.S. for next year.

He did his fellow Puerto Ricans proud, no doubt about it.

Regal is lightning fast, I think he needs to add consistency to the equation to start really turning heads. Same thing in lakewood, 2nd and a 35th or something?

Just my opinion of course.

Yeah Regal and Osbourne did great. I never knew they are both Puerto Ricans. Learn something new every day.

now thats funny...

on a selfish side.. i really hope we dont lose him.i think he can and will do big things once he gets the crashing in check. it would be awesome for him and his family to get a ride with any team in any country.. but deff would be sad to see him not get a ride in the US after whooping factory riders all season. well, the races he wasnt picking himself up off the track..

I think Regal has shown he has definate podium speed... However w/ all that podm speed he ends up on his head quite a bit. I think everyone is hot on him becuase he is a privateer not becuase of his results... Just my opinion.

Nevertheless great ride in the first moto..

He'll stay in the U.S. Agreed with not riding to his potential yet and a little coaching could really enhance his skills. Can't wait to see where he goes for 2011, wherever it is will enhance that team's credibility immensely.

He is not from Puerto Rico. However it works out that it is owned or overseen by the USA means they can use USA athletes. Even in the Olympics.

riding as a privateer in the gp's would be tough!

Thanks Captain Obvious for cleering that up. We all thought he was Puerto Rican

You mean with a name like Osbourne you didn't suspect he was from somewhere south of the border?

What do you mean he`s not. He had Puerto Rico flag all over his shirt.
