Anyone that would make sense? It's too bad for Mitch that Malcolm got swooped up by FC. That would have made sense IMO. Doesn't sound like Josh Hansen would be interested. From his interviews it sounds like he's really looking forward to doing his own thing.
- Lemoine? (not sure if he could get out of his JAB deal)
- Blake Wharton? (I thought there were rumors of him looking for a deal to race SX, I haven't heard a thing though)
- Jimmy D?
- Michael Leib?
It's a short list of possibilities.... Anyone I missed? What do you think?

And no, Mitch also isn't hiring J-Law.
Doesn't he want a Championship contender?

I don't think Mitch would use a rider like Lemoine, Decotis, Freise, Leib, etc. He would pick a rider who he genuinely thinks would have a shot at getting him a championship, not the fan favorite award. This late in the off season, negotiating sponsor deals is also extremely difficult. Dylan Ferrandis theoritically would be a cool choice, but the East coast runs too deep into the season to leave him time to prepare for the Gps.
Honestly, everyone available most likely wouldn't perform under the pressure of being on PC and grab wins over the riders already on solid teams. Having an empty bike during the SX season is better than having someone out there finishing 10th in a PC bike.
On a totally unrelated topic, who is Sean Hackley riding for? He ripped on the Disney channel.
Pit Row
Let him fill Cianciarulo's spot in the West series while riding in the 450 class. If his results are above expected, then they can ship his bike to the remaining races as well (because there is only a spot free for west / east supercross races)
Pourcel has been riden Kawasaki's non stop so that would not be a huge differnence. Give him 3 weeks to dail in his bike and he will be able to compete.
If only he wasn't already signed to that Team Nami ride.
