Assuming this is Justin Hill’s last season with them (as it should be), what is their next big move? The really need someone capable of getting results regularly. It’s ridiculous that Hill can’t manage to crack the top 10 with JA, WP, MS, ZO, VF, JB missing. Funny how he was supposed to be a bad ass and has flopped while JS nad AP both have top 5’s. Chad Reed is the only guy getting results and he’s inconsistent at best. They really need to put a good bid in on JS or AC and hire Wilson as a back up. I’m sure it’s hard to sell a title sponsor when your marquis guy is a back marker most nights. Hopefully they can hire someone worth paying before it’s to late.
all this seriousness is gonna kill dirt bikes, no wonder why walmart and kroger dont sell toy dirt bikes any more, there is no fun in it, and when there is your looked at as wrong.
Explains why hot wheels pulled out of moto no fun in it.

There have been 3 SX Champions in the last 8 years? RD, RV and JA...what else do you expect if you cant get one of those 3 guys?
I have a hard time seeing Savatgy, AC, or Seely going to the team but one of those riders is what they need.
I don’t know what these guys have for contracts left but having either Jordon Smith, Shane McElrath, or Martin Davalos I think would be realistic given what the team is.
...hope to see Pieck back but hard to say. Reed is only on a one year deal but he seems commited to his program. I have a hunch he moved for other reasons though and will be working his way out of prefessional dirt bike racing after SX and will either be working with a team or jumping in a “safer” career.

In theory, they should be one of the top teams! They have plenty of resources to do all they want with the bike they're on, but when your base product is so far below the other teams, there's only so much you can do to try to make it better. I don't know why they can't be the ones to be a second-tier team for any of the other brands that are better out of the box. If they do this, they could start gaining legitimacy and get better riders and eventually be one of the top factory teams.
I always though JS was James Stewart???
JGR has probably 20-30 people on staff to make this race team happen, it ain't for fun, it's for results.
