Anyone know where Cochrans going to end up? BarX and Cochran seem like they would be a good fit, less pressure with good bikes, and Casey’s got speed.

I believe he had a tryout or test or whatever Star does and didn’t get selected. He has AEO written all over him imo.

I’d rather see him on a BarX bike and off the KTM//Husky brand and move on from them. I’m not bashing AEOs equipment where they’ll probably have better stuff next year if they go to Husky, I’d just rather see Casey change it all up. Those BarX bikes rip and those guys are always ripping together. I’d rather see AEO get McAdoo if Mitch decides to move on from him lol

Move on from McAdoo? I surely hope not. Who else is going to crash out their teammates on PC if he's not there?

Same dude. 

Like Forkner, you can tell he’s got it in him. Just can’t keep the body and mind together long enough to make something happen.

That's obviously up to Forkner and his team to decide and I'm just a nobody on Vital but I actually can't believe they still let him race again after his brain surgery. It's a miracle that he isn't in a wheelchair yet with how many big crashes and hits he had and specially since he has been back from the brain surgery he just isn't the same dude anymore (which is understandable ofc). Also still can't believe Triumph put him on a top 450 on top of that.
I have much respect for the dude, his talent and skills were obviously undeniable and not for any kind of money in the world could I go through the same amount of injuries, he's a tough MFer.. But it blows my mind that he is still out there.

Speaking of Forkner.. Does anyone have info on him and outdoors? Is he still gonna be on a 450 or back to the 250?

Forkner is on the 250 entry list I just posted, surprised me as well.

Yeah it'd be very easy to drop him to try for someone else on the market and whiff on that when Garrett continues to show improvement. Hopefully he keeps building this summer.

I think Star is the best place for him. I think we might see a small regression if he went anywhere else.

I think he would’ve been really good for Triumph or Kawi in terms of consistency and bike development but yes, his results would’ve suffered for sure.

It’s crazy that STAR is the only team he’s ridden for and is 10 years deep with them and they’re still giving him 1 year deals.

His deal is up but I don’t think they’ve directly told him they won’t re-sign him.
