Is star racing Yamaha out of talent?

yamaharider471
They no longer have a Cooper Webb or Jeremy Martin so what's going to happen? Cooper Webb was their star (no pun intended) inside and outdoors. Jeremy Martin was their championship contendor outdoors. I don't see any championship contenders in their lineup this year. Who's their next guy?

Ferrandis will be a legit title contendor very soon imo. This is a learning year with a big move to USA obviously. Expecting big things out of him next year!

Lots of things to learn about the US, but the guy IS fast.

I am curious to see what he does outdoors. I do think that supercross is a one trick pony type of skill, if you will, but outdoors is where the real dudes shine.

I just hope he doesn't get hurt in SX so we can see him outdoors.

Being a fellow Aussie, Reardon I believe may step up next season, probably stronger outdoors too!

Remember, like the out of form Craig, Reardon had a couple of years away from racing, so hopfully he is gaining speed.

No, I did not forget. Just don't think he's a title contendor. Just my opinion. After watching last year I thought he would have taken this years supercross title. And after this year I just don't think he's on the same level as Justin Hill and Austin Forkner

No kidding. I'm looking forward to AP doing good outdoors this year. He rode great last ear but just like Supercross his starts are a big issue. Plus the rougher or wetter the track is the better he is. Outdoors is where he shines...

I think you're right, a few years they were irrelevant in the 250s and went through riders like they were gear. They had three real good riders come up through their program but now that 2 of the 3 are gone I think the teams gonna end back where it was. Hope I'm wrong though they always have a good looking set up.

Dan has no plans to contest the Nationals in the US or Australia. His goal is to race Supercross every year in the US and Australia...but no outdoors...he said that his competitiveness in nationals isn't there.

Yes yamaha is out of talent. Ferrandis is looking like anderson or friese. Hes going to grow a target on his back. I mean look at how ac and savatgy were crunching him tonight.

Only reason he gets crunched is because he is new and a euro and kinda fast from the get go. The only thing Ac an Savatgy did was letting him know they are willing to battle hard. Ferrandis has never had a problem with battling hard so he does not give a fuck if they ride like that he knows he got the skills he just needs to put in the time and hell beat them straight up and when that time roles around hell get them back.

I agree. All he needs is some more conditioning and he won't fade in the last 5 min. I really like what I'm seeing from him

Your basing outdoors on what has happened indoors. We all know indoors and outdoors aren't remotely close. I'm thinking Jeremy Martin wins outdoors with plessy and ferrandis a close 2nd and 3rd.

Ferrandis gave Herlings fits sometimes, don't forget that.
