Jordan Bailey has a pro contract with Rockstar Husky and commented that this would be his last LL's...but maybe they want him to ride Monster Cup All-Stars before making the plunge sometime next year?
I don't believe that Lopes, Masterpool or Alves have rides lined up...
Not sure about Tennat considering that Star is bringing Justin Cooper onboard next year and looks to have a pretty full team to choose from (I think Cooper is doing these last few rounds under RockRiver's truck though?).
Per the LL wrap up podcast Matthes did with Weege and TopJimmy...
- Seems like there's a lot of mystery around what the Masterpool camp's goals are. Since the tragedy with Jesse Masterpool, sounds like the family is still racing but their big picture intentions aren't clear and they're not in any rush to sign any contracts just yet. Apparently Jake, who hasn't entered a major amateur race since Lorettas last year, actually asked Chris Wheeler at Suzuki if he even had to race LL's this year. Word is the family isn't stoked on Supercross and may not even participate in the Monster Cup this year.
- The Star Racing Cooper/Tennat thing sounds like a lot of drama. Chalan Tennat got the boot from the Star ride, a decision that was made before LL. Justin Cooper will be racing the remainder of the Nationals on a Star Racing bike, under the Star tent, but with Rock River graphics. Sounds like that was the "compromise" made between the teams, given the last minute nature of Star signing him while he had existing obligations to Rock River.
Positively, absolutely 110% obsessed with anything MOTO.
