GuyB's news page got me thinking.....where's everyone going?

James is allegedly going to San Manuel, but on what brand of bikes?

Reed's move to Suzuki raises several questions. Especially regarding Alessi and Byrne.

Sean Hamblin is a question mark, but many think he should stay at Yamaha

Speaking of Yamaha, will they keep Hepler and/or Hill?

Goerke is out at MDK KTM.

Travis Preston making a return? His old mechanic works at JGR/Yamaha.

Nick Wey to Geico/FC/Honda?

Lawrence is most likely out at YoT (YoT may be out at YoT too)

I've repeatedly heard blue for James.

I know that Mike's supposed to get a set of Supercross suspension this week. And yes, I've heard that Goose is moving over to Reed. But there's also no shortage of talented technicians over at Suzuki.

It'd be cool to see Hamblin stay at Yamaha.

Hill has proven that he can win indoors. Hepler? He looked good at Millville, though Southwick was kind of rough for him.

Goerke out? I'm not so sure. KTM is looking for two 450 guys... Kurt Nicol was at Southwick. Wonder who he was talking to? Smile

Haven't heard anything about Preston.

I have heard the Nick to Geico Powersports Honda rumor.

From what I've heard, a combined YOT/Star squad would be built around Lawrence.

One of the things that struck me from the weekend was how ordinary Hepler and Tedesco looked, although Ivan did get some fast laps and decent starts in. I hope it's just part of the still recovering process.

I agree, Hill joined an elite group by winning a 450 SX .

Agree 100% Plus Berlutti is a good guy and I really dont think Goose likes Tony A to much.

X3. Tony's been with Suzook a long time and has done an excellent job for 'em.

Can Tedesco go back to the lites if he wanted to?

You can argue about the comp he had then and the injuries he's had on the 450s, but he was a different rider on the small bikes. maybe the big bikes just aren't his thing.

Hot Sauce and Hepler both have had a tough couple of year with injuries.

Doesn’t Hepler have another year on his contract?

Tony is as good as anyone on the circuit.

J-Law was never out at YOT.

I talked to M. Alessi the other night and he's still got a year on his contract and he said he isn't going anywhere, just bummed they wouldn't let him race the last two nationals. But he's getting ready for supercross.

Not at all...just saying. Injuries and time off in both the SX and MX series.

I hope he can turn it around, he hasn't really looked the same since Stewart landed on him.

Not saying we don't all already know, but YoT and Star combining resources and building a team around 338? That is a huge gamble. Banking on J-Law, is a crap shoot. It can work out really really good, or it can be the complete opposite. Yes, I know, Captain Obvious here.
I seriously hope Jason can overcome whatever it is that makes him do the things he does.
Can Jason race the Open in Vegas? I don't know how all that works? Any good rumors on if he is trying to race in October?

Guess Reed is confirmed for the U.S. Open.
