Looks like it, nut up is sponsoring the HEP team and Cedric is now riding for them.

Thought they were just driving the rig around the block to burn off some excess fuel?

Thanks for the reply. Wonder if that was the final bridge for JH100 to burn?

I doubt it, dude has speed and style. If he'll ride for cheap enough the bridges will be built.

More like he’ll collect a check, put in social media appearances, and not actually ride. Then that bridge will burn and it’ll be on to the next sucker that doesn’t know what he’s been through.

So JH’s team lost a solid rider and their title sponsor over a tank of fuel? Wonder if that $600 in fuel was worth it?

Pretty sure there's more to the story for them to lose the title sponsor.

Nope, can't have investigative reporting in this sport. Only the insiders get to know what's going on Dry

If there's no more team, what happens to Bisceglia when he heals up? That poor dude hasn't been able to catch a break the past few years.

Is Cedric racing the outdoors? If not maybe HEP is gonna take him in for that. IMO the HEP team is pretty strong with the current list of riders for the outdoors. Just not a SX bunch.

I have no idea if he's racing outdoors or not, but I agree, HEP is quietly putting together a fairly decent team.

Apparently. He locked his keys and phone inside his truck. Asked someone if he could use their phone to call for help and the person said he looked like the type of person that would steal their phone, so they didn't let him.

Then he went on Instagram and told the story.

Fairly certain he's only in the US for Supercross and going back to Europe after the series is over.

Still great to see HEP step up and support him after the LVL100 shit show. Hope he comes back in 2019.

Theres gotta be a lot more to it than just the fuel thing. But i did hear that NutUp wrote the HEP team a $20,000 dollar check to get Cedric to the last 4 rounds. $5,000 bucks for each round. Thats pretty solid of them to do that for a "fill in" rider.

The rig was in Salt Lake today. Nobody around it etc, but it was in the pits.

Well the NutUp company got completely screwed since they were the title sponsor for the LVN100 team. Everyone was talking about how the NutUp team screwed a rider etc. Not the best PR for a company.

I would think that getting on board with HEP and Cedric was the best damage control move they could've made. I wonder if they will have any contact with Hanny/Watson in the future. Probably not. I really hope that Cedric could get a full deal for next year. Give him 1 month of preparation and a full team like HEP for 2019 and see how far he can get.

And like someone else posted earlier in the thread. It's sad how little investigating journalism we get from the media outlets. So many things in this sport get swept under the rug.
