It’s an off week, but a busy one. Everyone is in the planning/training/late-signing stages, and it’s gotten so confusing that one of my friends—Shane Gould of Fuel Clothing—suggested we post a list of riders still on the market so that potential sponsors could get an idea of who’s still out there.

Looks like Travis Preston found himself a decent ride for 2009
No sooner had Bad Billy Ursic posted his list of riders still standing in the annual game of musical chairs in Bench Racing Ammo than we got news of a couple new signings. The MDK/Jagermeister KTM team of Travis Preston and Josh Summey was announced, which means Nick Wey is no longer with MDK.
Where’s Wey going? I’m seeing blue here, just not quite sure how exactly. And Wey is likely staying in MSR gear, though he will be joined in next year’s catalog by a new male model with the same nickname as Kenny Watson.
Another rider on the market for a ride is Alaska’s Ben Lamay, who will be running #95 in 2009. We heard that Lamay is looking for a ride in either class, and he has already shown he can ride a 450 really well after a great ride at Steel City in his one-race stint with the Spike Energy/Toyota/JGRMX team.
Uh-oh. Josh Hill’s shoulder injury, which Billy reported on first thing this morning, is sounding harsh. Stay tuned.
Word on the Orange County street is that a certain Kawasaki rider is absolutely killing it on the Kawi SX track right now. No, I am not talking about Ryan Villopoto, who is transitioning into the 450 class and has certainly earned some good reports from how he looks so far. I’m talking about Christophe Pourcel, who hasn’t raced in more than a year since fracturing his pelvis late last season in Ireland. The French import, a former MX2 World MX Champion, already has an SX win to his credit (Phoenix ‘07) and is finally able to take up the chase on the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki that Mitch Payton’s team held for him even though it was uncertain he would ever race again at this time last year. But Pourcel is getting himself back into shape and, apparently, blowing some minds out there on the Kawi track.

Remember Christophe Pourcel? He won Phoenix in 2007.
Another import on his way across the pond is Tommy Searle, who will race a KTM here in 2009, though not until outdoors, as he wants to learn SX a little more before jumping into the deep end, and thus maybe avoid some of the injuries and pratfalls that plagued the MX careers of Greg Albertyn and Sebastien Tortelli. Jimmy Button was working out the details of purchasing a truck for Tommy earlier this week, plus checking on his AMA number—Searle is hoping for #100, which Josh Hansen has used the last couple of years, but Josh has since earned #67 for 2009.
Meanwhile, over in North Carolina, the Racer X Virtual Trainer himself, Tim Crytser, paid a visit to the JGR Yamaha HQ and came away impressed by the setup and the work ethic he saw in Cody Cooper (Josh Grant was not around that afternoon).
“The system that JGR has fits Cooper to a T!” offered Crytser. “If that kid has the talent, he is going to be fast. Real fast! It has been a long time since I have talked to a pro that is so humble, hungry and eager to learn. He loves the team training/family environment that JGR provides.”
But the real race right now is to see who is going to be Miss Arenacross. The contest they are holding over on www.arenacross.com is shaping up to be quite a battle, what with names like Brentney B. (must-see photos of this Texan are up on the VitalMX.com message board) and Chelsey Bowers (yes, Tyler’s sister) and some other very promising spokesmodels all vying for the crown. They just added videos of each girl.
If Arenacross is attracting this kind of talent, I can only imagine what’s going on over on www.supercrossonline.com where Miss Supercross (and future ex-wife of Josh Demuth) will be named in a few weeks.
I want to revisit something about switching teams. Do you recall all the booing that greeted Ricky Carmichael when he left Kawasaki after more than a dozen years to join Team Honda? When RC was lowered from the roof of the MGM Grand Garden Arena for the 2001 U.S. Open, people were booing at the top of their lungs (the King Vitamin crown and cape certainly had something to do with it).
