I guess we are both possibly correct then. I could be reading too much into it, but it's almost as if RV dislikes the way Aldon is working them over? Just a possibility.
Let's just leave it at that then.
Carry on.
The Shop
Matt Moss tells us that he has signed a supercross-only deal with the JDR/J-Star KTM team in America to ride the West Coast 250cc class in 2013. While it can't yet be confirmed, Moss may also be riding a new fuel-injected 2013-model KTM 450SX-F for the four-round Australian Supercross Championship, which begins in mid October at Dubbo.
Must want to come back and run the Aussie MX.
What I am most interested in seeing for 2013 is the Yamaha that was "promised" to Dean Wilson. Although he is not going to be on Yamaha, I would assume they will still release this bike toward the end of the nationals for whoever their riders are.
I heard it is going to be their WR450, for moto. (250F frame, front facing 450 engine) which is actually pretty pathetic, but, if it works...
Todd Waters hasn't been confirmed, but I have a feeling he will leave Suzuki for KTM.
That would be kind of dissapointing if true was looking forward to seeing Matt have another crack at the us, even if it was SX only for JDR. If he comes back fulltime i think this will be where he stays for good. Cant see anybody giving him a third bite at the cherry with the results he's put in over there. We all know he hasnt ridden up to his potential over there yet.
Waters on KTM seems likely, Reardon and Simmonds have to be spewing, there JDR years consisted of riding an underpowered 350 and an out of date 450 then gone. Gotta think there has to be more to this JDR KTM split, not alot of riders sticking around on that team at the moment.

Straight from the horses mouth. Interesting
I know he says he wants to go back to the states but i just dont see it happening, he's had two shots and produced one podium in lites supercross. Not downplaying that achievement but i think he and any potential future sponsors expected more, promised alot and delivered little over there.
He will need to come out and absolutely blow every other rider off the track in super x and outdoors while staying injury free and upright this year to even rate a mention on the international radar, wouldnt hurt if Chad came back for Newcastle either to add a bit of star power and give a measuring stick as to where our blokes sit at the moment.
If he does come, I'm sure it will be for the MotoGP round, but hopefully he will come to Newcastle as well!
I remember Chad saying something along the lines of the more front wheel traction I can get the better, when switching to an older front tire last year.
Chad definitely looks at home on the 13', can't wait to see him and RV resume their unfinished business after the Texas crash.
Pit Row
Looking forward to seeing Cachia in the states, good guy and hard racer.
