So obviously there is talk about Hill going to JGR so he can get the 450 ride next year. Lets assume they keep Malcom on for the rest of the season... I understand Hill is in a different, shortened series, on a different bike sure sure, but given their results so far, would you give the ride to Hill over Malcom?

Hill has probably got it in his contract to get a 450. No guarantee from PC for a 450 ride. He speaks positively about the bike and as long as he is trying I think JGR will be happy with him.
Mookie, hired gun from here on out.
The older I get, the faster I was.

Not a fan of either but I'd say Hill. He doesn't take the summer off.

I’d give it to Mookie. I don’t think either one works enough, but Mookie would get better results

I'm pretty sure the press release when hill signed was also a 450 deal was a two year deal one on 250 one on 450's. You guys have short attention spans round here.

Also mentioned on some Matthes ran radio show that rumor is there is a performance clause.... could be totally false though.

I agree but as long as the check clears you think he gives a shit. I don't think his results will be much better outdoors either.
Doesn't even look like he's trying to defend his title. Personally I didn't think he was going to repeat it either and by the looks of it he's proving me right.

Pretty sure ML512 said that the 450 ride wasn't a guaranteed thing.

I agree. Had this conversation with my dad. I told him no way hill defends his title this year and he argued that he had a good chance... until A1 then he agreed there’s no way he does it.

Hill could give two shits about defending his title.... And, as for his outdoor showing last year? There were B class kids at Lorettas that could have, and would have, out-ridden him last summer based on heart alone. Strongly doubt he will will ever win another, and its a shame. Sooo much talent......
As for a 450 ride? Both would have to put in the work to prove.....

Niether, Malcom seems like a truck load of drama with no results and Hill seems like he would rather write songs and singrather than race.

This thread needs a one way ticket to the Dumdgeon. Enough with the Mookie needs a ride stuff already. He isn't in shape and has had all the time in the world to get that way.

I won't disagree with the comment about Bogle. I would just expect Malcolm to look like he is in better riding shape having that long off season and all. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a ride but prove to us for a few rounds you can push forward and not fade towards the end of the mains.
