Eventually this will be the AMA KTM/Husky Cup. It will be interesting to see how the future rookies will do at Loretta's here in a few months.

Yeah, there's some interesting stuff in there. Nice to get some info from a little bit more of a credible source. And even if it has already been posted, which I'm not sure of, it's good to see something other than the James Stewart thing on the front page right now.

Now that theres some more money back in the sport, mostly from KTM/Husky I guess, guys are drifting away from PC it looks like.

High Salary is beating out low salary with performance bonuses?

Definitely sounds like it with Hill. KTM is kicking in some serious $$$$ and parts / bikes with the new riders, teams, and the Husky brand. Be cool to see what TLD can do with the KTM....he by far has some of the best looking bikes and gear out there.

I would like to see TLD stay with Honda. But if KTM is willing to kick in more money and pay rider salaries why the heck not. I think Durham would be a good fit over there.

It would be interesting to see Blake on a katoom as well. Wonder if Suzuki might think about putting a team back together? Also be cool to see who might end up at rock river with a-mart....team looks to be headed in right direction.

Looks like Suzuki will go another season, at least, without a 250 effort. It's a shame because their 250 is awesome but they can't show it off anymore. KTM is basically handing out factory bikes and I don't blame any team for switching to them. The support you get from them is top notch and the performance is there as well. Also cool to see Chris Alldredge doing so well. He kind of disappeared for little while but he still rips. He will be great at PC.

I know I would like to see a nice factory zuke team with some young guns on 250s. I'm sure riders would want to get picked up by them *ahem* Whistling

I think Durham would be an awesome fit at TLD whether it be on a KTM or Honda. I think he would excel on that team better than having a PC ride. I think with less pressure and him having fun he'll win some races next year.

No one's mentioned Tyler Bowers to Pro Circuit. That is a pretty big one there.Shocked

Tyler Bowers has signed with the team (Pro Circuit) after winning multiple Arenacross titles for Babbitt’s Kawasaki. Winning the Vegas round in 2013 was huge for Tyler and his chances of landing this deal.

K-Roc on RC's team should be real cool. They have been building that program for a long time; I'm glad they finally have a real contender.

Seems like Geico is gonna be a really young team again, they'll need Bogle to keep it up me thinks.

Pumped husky is in and KTM is expanding. Good to see more rides!

The gieco team....not really sure what to think about it. Is bogle a leader? He's good, but woulda been a 4 or 5 guy in points this year had the PC guys stayed healthy. Hell ya more teams! I'm super pumped to see what husky can do in the states. As far as 250 rides go, I wouldn't mind seeing matt lemoine get another shot on a factory ride. Will be WAY cool to see what bowers can do as well....

Bogle's definitely been stepping up as of late, really been impressed with his persistence since last outdoor season. He obviously had some major luck in SX with the 3 PC guys going out, but he had to deal with his own issues right before that season started and he's been solid so far outside. Pretty cool!

I listened to a few Bowers interviews, he seems pretty happy with his lifestyle right now, I don't see him coming to SX/MX full time while he can make good money racing half the year in arenas.

Lemoine, definitely indoors he's got it, I think he needs to get a couple top 5s to really make PC/Geico etc turn, but then again with these new slots opening up maybe there is a seat for him. Seems like a good dude in interviews, good for a brand!
