Agree with this.

Sucks for Grant but think it would be a good idea to give Hill the ride to see if he can do anything on a big bike. He has shown he can in SX but it is his MX that is in question. Might give him that motivation to showcase his skills in MX.

Hope Grant heals up quick. We need to see him at A1.

If i was Kawasaki i would be all over this, because , based on what Hill did in SX he was fully expecting a 450 contract for 2018, and based on what i have seen in outdoors, i wouldnt be throwing a full factory 450 contract at a guy who has been lucky to be a top 10 guy in 250.

Either he already has that in his pocket (which i have not seen anything about) , which means he is just riding round trying to not get hurt, or he genuinely doesnt have speed outdoors, in which case it makes him a weak candidate for the ride suddenly.

Either way the pressure is on, in his favour is the fact that the 450 class is as weak as its been in a long time, so he might be flattered a little.

Why? Besides the fact that Ferris has his own deal in Australia he had a good run at high point.

I agree.it's unlikely Kawi will seek out a replacement rider, but if they were, Ferris is a reasonable choice.

You know what they say about opinions though, and this is mine.

Next time when someone skips second moto because of a first moto crash, you guys will be at hand with suggestions of fill-ins huh?
Comeon... There are 6 rounds to go and he's maybe even racing the last 1 or 2.
But yeah they should bring over Ferris or Herlings great idea

Why would ferris leave? If he was offered, makes no sense, different bike, race series, 4-6 race fill in, He will make more ,$$ winning a title in his series.
