Reading through Matthes observations of Washougal and in the paragraph about Bogle he mentions that Alessi and Friese wouldn't be returning to Moto Concepts.

If this is old news I apologise but it caught me off guard a little

MCR will only be a two man team next year, with one spot going to Justin Brayton. Considering there's some serious talent without rides for 2018, it's a good chance for them to go after some new riders.

Will this affect Tony Alessi at MCR?

Nope, Tony Alessi will continue on as the team manager.

oh thats a shame there are only 2 riders ...it will be neat to see who is the 2nd rider..I suspect it wont be Chisholm (although I hope it is).

Mike said in an interview at the beginning of the year that he was for sure retiring at the end of 2017

I like the idea of Marty riding there, although I don't know if I see that happening.

Factory Yamaha needs to sign him for outdoors, either in the US or in MXGP.

Negative. Tickle to Factory Red Bull KTM sounds like a sure thing.

Didn't Matthes say something about on a recent podcast about Moto Concepts trying to step their game up and become an even more legit team?? Can't recall the specifics of the angle he was coming from, are they getting more factory support?

I can definitely see Weimer filling the second rider spot at MCR. Hard to imagine Mookie's laissez faire persona meshing well with Tony

JGR = Factory Suzuki now. See other thread. (though I can def see them signing Bogle, if the price is right)

I don't see Suzuki adding a third 450, sounds like Reed and Peick would be the top picks for JGR at the moment

Who would go to Yamaha if Reed goes to JGR?

Chad posted a photo of him on a KTM. I think it was just a bike to play on but if there was any possibility of him re signing with Yamaha he would have a bike to ride from them

There are better riders than Weimer out there to sign. It's a great market for the teams right now. Maybe MCR can get full factory support if they are trying to go legitimate with borderline factory guys.

Then that would mean Ferris would be riding SX only unless MCR starts racing outdoors again, dont see it happening.

Reeds going to Factory KTM. They have a all new bike coming out so Reed would be a good test rider for it, and Decoster probably thinks he can still squeeze out some podiums and maybe a win if everything falls into place.

I remember Mike saying he's retiring at 30 which is next May. I can see him skipping SX and doing another year of MX up here before calling it a career.

Unless the reason why they went down to 2 riders was so that they could afford to go outdoors ?

Steel frame + Reed with a chip on his shoulder = a (red) bull with steam coming out of its ears, smashing its way to the podium.

I like Chad but unless he signs something agreeing not to trash the bike I can't see KTM signing him. It would be cool to see but seems Roger don't play that lol! Even JBone said on pulp that was the "thing" with Chad. Never know what your gonna get!
