Per the PulpMX show, he has another deal lined up for 2021 already apparently on the 450. I think the 450 suits his style better. Good luck CC!

Interesting if true, it’ll be cool to watch him on a full season on the big bikes!

Replace Friese at moto concepts would be my dream. I could see Geico fielding a 450 for a few years until he retires OR has the results to get a solid ride.

I enjoy Craig and the family I just wish he would bring a little more intensity come race time.

Easily one of the most talented guys of the past 10 years with the least results. He is a much better racer on the 450, hope he can make it happen.

If Troy Lee goes GasGas 450/250 team they need guy like Craig who been their team before.

If TLD does switch to GasGas does factory KTM field 250 riders again? They wouldn’t have a KTM 250 team.

Who remembers very early in his career when he rode for JGR? (No, that's not a hint...just a reminder that he's ridden for them a long time ago.)

Just as a fill-in rider for a few rounds if I remember correctly.

I would, at a guess, pick JGR
or perhaps the TLD 450 team...

I dare you to compile a list of every rider who's ridden for JGR. That would be a task!

I feel that Freise is a solid Pro who deserves his place at MCR.. he is over delivering, for the talent he has, compared to Hill.

And you can bet he isn't expensive.

Hill has shown flashes of brilliance, but lets be honest , since the first time he stepped on to a 450, every race since has been a disappointment, he has been OK, but he should be better than OK.

Craig has been a solid performer on a 450. He is wasted on 250 IMO.

But only so many seats to go round.

Craig is a talented rider and a super nice person. That being said, he won't make it 8 rounds on a 450 SX bike. He gets hurt wayyyyyy too much.

Maybe Bobby Hewitt takes over the KTM 250 effort??.. since nobody seems to know if he is still with KTM or Husky..

he also bashed the team and bike on national television when either he crashed out or the bike broke during a moto and he was in the mechanics area interviewed (I cant remember which)
