Interesting nobody brought up Hampshire to Husky next year and Mc Adoo on PC this summer.

Thanks Matthes for the few scoops this sport drops.

Making room for Shimoda and the Lawrence brothers. Mcadoo to PC is kind of puzzling, I’m guessing that’s because Hammaker got hurt, is he going to Loretta’s again this year or just stepping up? RJ deserves that Husky ride.

Outdoors in 250 going to be a good one this year

I get a kick out of him feeding into the KTM whoops conspiracy.

Bummer but makes the most sense. Better to have him ready for a regional 8 round series in 2020 than contest the nationals at less than 100%. I hate our schedule.

Interesting change since McAdoo has been testing outdoors in SoCal on a Geico bike the last two weeks.

I hope Mcadoo can put in solid results this summer and get on a full ride next year. Kid seems to work hard and is there every weekend, no matter what bike he has to ride. I'd like to see it pay off for him.

The PC bike, as far as I can tell, will have more hp than the Hondas he's been riding.

Didn’t McAdoo say something on Pulp this week that Geico has given him a bike to practice outdoors on? Even though he doesn’t have a ride for outdoors this year with them?

That's an interesting observation without riding one or seeing a HP dyno chart..

Whats more puzzling to me is JGR taking peters outdoors instead of Lopes. He put in some decent rookie rides last year yet they are going with someone who hasn't raced outdoors in 3 years . No disrespect to KP but it seems like they are content at driving that team into the ground....

I guess they know forkner is going to need surgery so will be chucking his bike to cameron which is a sweet deal for him. Also very cool of Geico for building Cameron a outdoor bike even though he will not be riding for them, what a good thing to do.

I might be mistaken but didn’t macadoo already have a geico ride a couple years ago and loose it?

Lopes shoulder/wrist is F'd from a few weeks ago. This last SX was not good on him according to the post race interview. that is my guess as to why this decision.

This is just my opinion but I don't think you'll see Jett at an outdoors this year but you'll see Jo at them at some point this year.

Macadoo originally was signed by MotoConcepts when he turned pro in 17. And then was signed by GIECO as a fill in for Craig. I believe he may have had amateur help from GIECO as well.

Jett is only 15, and the minimum age for a pro license remains 16. I do believe Jo Shimoda will be at some pro rounds before Loretta Lynn's...

Davey, wasn't the old "Pro-Am" license supposed to allow amateurs perform at select national events without losing amateur status. Do they still have Pro-Am licenses or some version of that today. I just remember that being a thing back in the 80's.

Jett will turn 16 the 10th of August.
Again, in 2019 he could, and sould have been take part to the MX2 championship instead. It would have been way more formative.

yeah maybe, but when you always dreamed of going to the USA and racing supercross, the GPs is a stepping stone at best,
