Why not…. Be 100% better then Prado,  he’s raced the Kawasaki 450 with top results in the outdoors qualified for mains on the 450 in Supercross,  he’s probably the top guy that’s available for a 450 ride, Top 15 in Supercross top 7 in outdoors be a good teammate with Sexton 100% better to work with then the “Problem Child” it’s a win win for Kawasak and the fans…..IMG 0685 3IMG 0684 8

Marchbanks or Kitchen would be head and shoulders above Ty.

Ty should go to MXGP, he’s made for it!

They’re probably looking for a guy who can finish inside the top 15 in Supercross if I had to guess.

He will find a way to weasle out of supercross, then blame the bike all outdoors long. All while still being slower than Prado, not that I like Prado either.

I'll take one for the team and i will say it. The Masterpool fans are borderline cultish.

So I don’t really understand the hate for Ty. He seems like a good dude? Maybe not the best  for that job I just wonder why people dislike him ?

He won't go to the GPs because if he does he can't stay in his little family training compound in TX

What does going through hell have to do with getting a factory 450 ride. It’s a terrible take and one that makes no sense.

I’d like to see Ty get a 450 ride.  He is solid outdoors and his SX game has improved.  Be interesting to see how it shakes out.  Not just with Ty but several others.

He could probably stay there if he went up to Canada tho.

Masterpool is a great rider, but the idea that somebody needs to give him a chance is incorrect. He has been given multiple chances he hasn't capitalized upon. Wasn't this year a give him a chance year as well?

Ty was 4th and 5th in his last two races for 6th overall in SMX, seems good enough for a ride somewhere?!

I believe he/his camp have a reputation for being difficult to work with to a degree. He’s parted ways with teams mid-season a few teams.

At the end of the series when he missed most of supercross and with a depleted/somewhat injured field on a track with ZERO supercross whoops and one supercross rhythm section. 

Tedder should consider him. He can run his own program like him and his Dad want and would get a decent salary + bonuses.

Privateer ride, sure.

Factory, not a chance.

Definitely curious to see who Kawi get as their #2 now. They likely have already teed up Kitchen for 27 so you're looking at someone who will take a 1 year contract, which will make it very difficult to get anyone who's consistently in the top 10s. Who's even available? Savatgy might be their best opportunity, I think he was on a 1-year deal through SMX, though I don't know if they've burned that bridge. McElrath maybe?

Honestly for a one year deal.

Let marchbanks and kitchen make at least 1 more title run then bump one of them next year wouldn't be the worst idea I have seen in moto.

The question is how many guys better than ty willing to leave a good independent 450 team for a 1 year tryout.

I think Savatgy already told them no.

Well there you go, not surprised. The FirePower Honda team is a good program and supports him in WSX which is probably pretty lucrative for Joey. McElratch or Barcia might be their best bet right now. What about a 250 guy who's ready to move up? Maybe someone like Schwartz or Park?

Schwartz isn't ready to move up; he's raced one Supercross in the past two years. He has never finished a 250 Supercross series in general.

McElrath is also set to stay at Firepower (he's the defending 250 WSX champion).

Barcia is working on his contract at Ducati, although it's not done yet, so anything could happen.

IMO, the QuadLock Honda Team is the smarter play for where Joey is at in life and career. He can ride SX, MX, SMX, WSX. He can then turn that into a SX, AUSX, and WSX deal like Brayton did and continue to make a great living on a less taxing schedule. Summers "off" with the family is hard to beat. 

Barcia is going to Ducati.

Marchbanks' name has come up more than once.

Also masterpool won't leave his facility in texas so that takes away quite a few teams for him to ride for. Highly doubt factory kawi will just let him take the bike to texas then just show up to the races he wants to?
