Seems Kilbarger and Eleven 10 mods split. Is HOT done again?

Don't think so, I'm pretty sure Les Smith has started SX testing with them.

It seems to me like a big loss, losing your best rider and Mays was running HoT in the amateurs.

Perhaps HoT is shying away from the second coming of J-Law?

Well the team is owned, built around, and run by Kilbarger and his family isn't it? I imagine they just offer up a bike to talented guys who simply can't get anything after all the other chips have fallen. I obviously have zero inside knowledge but I imagine the Eleven 10 side of things wasn't contributing so much of the budget that the team can't afford it anymore.

I asked him a couple days ago and he said no offers yet but, he has been waiting to hear from one team. Don't think its HOT though.

So a team and sponsor part ways and that means the team folds?

Les had a minor surgery Monday and took this week off to 100% recover. Full testing to resume next week.

Les still has his JGR YZ250F SX bike that he would like to sell.....plus a brand new fully modded spare motor.

Lets just say that after a few years of hibernation the 5th Dragon has woken up and will be breathing fire next year.

All I know is its hard to sign a new rider when your not racing, so obviously HOT will be racing this season
