Last i heard from last weeks Podcast was he was coming back to Cali for Outdoor training and the TLD Honda team was thrown out there as a possible 450 ride for this summer but no bike or team has been announced as of yet.

CP shouln´t have to ride anything else but a factory bike. Riding a privateer bike would be an insult to his talent and speed IMO

Mitch Payton (after A1 2011):

"The whole time he rode for me he never rode a 250 during the week, either year. He rode a 450 constantly and then he would go out to Perris Raceway and ride with the 450 guys and he could either match or beat their times and I believe that if he'd been riding this weekend he would have been right in the mix."

Only an insult if he takes it as an insult. I honestly don't think we will see CP back this year at all. He's fooling himself if he thinks the same teams that would not pay his insane salary he was demanding for supercross will pay it for the nationals - will not happen.

Unless he drastically lowers his expectations he'll be watching the nationals from his couch as well.

The people who know him has explained time and time again what they believe is the reason behind the "greed". The time off during SX might do him well (and less "greedy").

I'm sure lots of people understand his reasoning, and no one is forcing him to race for an amount less than he believes he is worth. What I'm saying is that if he hasn't changed that amount in his head we wont be seeing him in the outdoors either.

I have been out of the loop for a while now, and I understand that KR supposedly trained on the 350, but I can assure you this was not a common practice while I was involved in racing at this level.

Are you sure this fact or just speculation. Training on a 450 would make a lites rider a little lazy.

CP practiced on a 450 during the week.

Even Barcia's Mom said once they got word of it ,Justin started doing it also...
(This happened right after he left MTF and started working with Gary Bailey.)

With that said,other guys are more then likely following suit.

I could see a privateer doing this, because of the cost to put major hours on the 250f, but for a factory supported rider to do this makes no sense.
