milsaps and windham are both signed i believe. i think you're right about the rest though. suzuki will probably re-sign reed and dungey... but who knows... could be the silliest silly season ever.

9 of the 14 are injured and will finish the season with horrible results. Good luck at negotiating a 2010 contract.

it's kind of funny but a guy sitting on the bench sometimes draws more money than someone still racing.

The sport has turned into a speculation game where actual results are not as important.

Only riders on the list that deserve a factory ride are

Reed and Alessi.

Any other heavy hitters moving up to the 450's besides Dungey.
Buyers market this year for sure. Look for L&M and JGR to get a higher caliber #2 guy.

Windam and Millsaps both have a year left on ther econtracts.

Izzi already has a contract in his hands from another team.

Dungey has 2 offers from different teams.

I guess thats why you arent a Team manager then, and there are gates with riders on them racing to put on a show. I understand some riders in your eyes may not "deserve" a factory ride but with more teams folding that means less riders on the gate and less in the stands. Not good for either party involved in my opinion. Dont write some off soo quickly either, a couple bad races or even one bad year still dont warrant they are done or washed up.

I think you will see more non factory teams stepping it up with great programs.

Imagine the scouts went to Lorrettas this year to get new riders and those guys had to fund their own efforts. 2010 Would see some excellent racing.

Its all about representing your employer/sponsor in the most professional and positive manor in hopes of creating a good image for that company to potentially sell the brand and product to comsumers.

The race wins and championships are a huge bonus
