Pull up Tickle into the big rig, or call a fill -in guy like Weston Peick for several weeks?

They'll probably hang tight I'd imagine. How long is Rattray out? Anyone know?

I think Chris Blose would make a good fill in rider

Tickle did really well this weekend, I would give him a shot.

X2 - I think Chris would represent the Green Team well. Good solid rider with no ride.

Weston would also be a good choice.

I can see Tickle stepping in.. Would make sense, but PC don't have Deano anymore, so they're already a rider down. What about Nick Wey? He's been there before and he's on Kawi.

PC is down to 2 guys now in the Lites class. Guessing they have to field atleast 2 guys at the races (I said guessing), so I would be surprised to see Tickle go away. I'd really like to see Peick get the chance, but Blose wouldn't be a bad choice either.

I would bet Nick Wey gets the call though if anyone does.

Wey is probably on their radar, but what about your boy Derek Anderson # 241 ??

They should take Ivan and have PC bring up an amatuer or pull someone that is a privateer.

Derek would be a great fit and I'd be pumped for him for sure. Of course I'd be bummed to lose him after 1 race too haha. I think he's going to have a bright summer and it would be a good move for both parties.

Weston Peick... Personal bike is a kawi, he used to them, can be a top 10 guy... Wey has a rockstar deal he would have to get out of, I personally think Weston would pull in better results than Anderson or Blose... IMHO

+1 for Derek.

He was as high as 12th the first moto. Not sure if he had bike problems or just petered out, but he definitely has the speed.
2nd moto he came from 30th to 19th. Even if it's just for a race or two, I'd love to see him given that opportunity.

Blose would be a good fit. H&H used Kawi's as well in supercross so he is used to the bike. He is in good condition and rested up from his injury. Would do well I think given the chance.

Why do people keep suggesting that Tickle jump onto any vacant Factory Kawi? I'd have thought the PC 450 would more or less be a factory bike given the PC pedigree and their close relationship with Kawi. Also Mitch has had Tickles back venturing into the 450's for the first time to honor Tickles contract. I can only speculate from over her in Aus sitting at my desk, but if I were Tickle I'd want to stay put.

LaMay could use the help.
He is on rock river but everything is from his pocket.
I know he could use a break to make it to all the rounds.

I think CP377 would be awesome, another dude that can win. Right now I think that the only guys that can win finished 1-3 in that second moto and overall. Would be nice to add another guy that would be battling for wins...even if it is just a round or two, Id love to see CP377 again.

Even though blose rode a Kawasaki this year (only a few races as he was hurt), it wasn't an H&H bike..

You'd be a fool to think that Kawasaki is letting tickle have any or all of the parts jake is running. Mitch only honored tickles contract, tickle had the option to leave if there was anything else available and did not. Tickles lap times were good this weekend and each moto he had to work his way up, his biggest problem is starts, he can't seem to get a holeshot.

What about Gavin Faith? I don't think he has anything right now and the kid is a solid rider.

he's washed up remember...... also I don't think he'll get out of his contract.

What about an aussie guy??
