Who should take his spot at Honda?

A current 450 privateer?
A Geico Honda rider, Eli Tomac/Jimmy Decotis?
Nobody?

Totally impossible but mcgrath could make main. But he might be focusing on his truck career.

Now Vegas counts as a proper round for both coasts, i wonder if it will affect West Coast riders jumping on these opportunist 450 slots..?

Wonder if Honda are thinking right now that they should have forked out the cash for Reed...

And he's also the reason that Grant is out until May so I highly doubt they would have even considered it.

They're probably thinking that he's riding a Honda anyway and that they save a boat load of money.

Chad Reed.

Hes a deserving privateer. Give him a shot on some factory equipment and you'll see big things out of him!

I HOPE he is talking to Kawasaki, and not honda. He needs to be on team GREEN.

Not a chance that whoever-that-is would be running top 10 "for sure". He'd be lucky to make the main on a consistent basis.

I am hoping for CP377 both for the rest of the SX season and for the Nationals as well. Should have been the original decision prior to Grant.

I don't know about that. He has been loyal to Kawasaki his whole career but they didn't seem to want him that much this season, so if he comes out and kills it on a honda (or any other brand for that matter) it would be awesome. Pourcel is one of the most creative guys out there, I think he can make some crazy rhytm sections that only Stewart would try, just look this summer when he launched the finish line jump that RC used to do on a national I cant remember the name of (first lites rider to do it?).

RC catapult. I don`t think Pourcel is the only lites rider to do it.

I dont see grant being back until at least red bud if not later. ACL's are a good 6 months of rehab.
