And you wonder why this sport doesn't evolve. What a waste. This guy has been washed for more than half a decade...  can't they give it to somebody that will at least be inspired and do something?

Why would they hire a rider that could barely make a main when he was racing full time??? I guess he will make the lcq more interesting. I feel like they could of gotten someone a little better.

The sports changed, there aren’t the privateers with no obligations or teams anymore,  they all have contracts sponsors or teams

Frieze should've gotten the bike. At least he tries and doesn't roll over like Hill and Nichols.

Cartwright and lane have both consistently been in the mains. Why not try for someone who has actually been racing sx? I feel like they are setting themselves up for disappointment. I mean Hell I know it didn’t end great with chiz but he seems like a forgiving guy? Maybe even fast Freddy? There are better options that Bogle.

9 years ago bud…..

... and? Good for Bogle. He might even slap it in the top 15 if he's lucky. Everyone is tied up with sponsors this time of year, at least he can throw some leg swag and get HEP some good vibe exposure. Not like he forgot how to ride.

On the plus side, though, it's the same bike as it was 9 years ago! 😂

Do you know that PMG didn’t ask about those guys?  

They’re all under contract they can’t just leave.

Hahaha you really think the pace has jumped that much in the last 15-16 years. Yeah maybe a bit at the very top end, like top 5 but its not as drastic as you think. 

Bogel will slot in nicely around the 13-17th place. And like otheres have mentioned its extremely hard for anyone whos making mains consistently to get out of their contracts. Not many are willing to do what lopes did. Not to mention theres hardly anyone racing the 450 class making mains every week thats going from their team to any factory team is gonna leap from them from 15th to 6-10. The sun set on those days  back around 2015.

Haha wow. Did your girlfriend say Bogle was good looking when you were at the races a few years back or something? Why the hate. Let the guy enjoy the opportunity. Yes, there are other guys out grinding week by week putting it in the mains, but they can't just bail on their existing supporters at the drop of a hat. How is that hard to comprehend? Also... how many prior AMA 450 wins do they have? From a sponsorship point of view, its a good move for HEP. A quick look at the socials confirms that. Let the guy cook. Sorry your girlfriend likes Bogle more than you!

Let’s not act like Bogle didn’t win a 250 SX title. He’s a higher talent level than those guys with more potential. Sorry, not sorry

Some of you people are truly delusional 😂 it’s nothing personal at all but I want apologies when he doesn’t make the main.

Hired protection so Roczen doesn't get Freized ? Has his slam bam on his resume. I always like watching his riding style. And his chill attitude. I wish him luck and to have fun!

I'm sure the team has put him on the watch and his times are "with-in limits ".  I'm happy to see him get a shot.  Good luck bro...bruh...dude...whatever.🙃
