I just hope he is pounding out laps during the week on his SX track because I don't think riding on the weekend at Track n Trail is going to get it done this year . pulling for you Chad its now or never

Just because the Factory Yamaha team doesn't look like it's happening doesn't mean he doesn't have support from Yamaha, probably just ironing out where that bike is going. Because of Discount Tire not staying on in any form I say that place is more than likely JGR.

Cool what's his #? There was not a ton of people there. Loren the manager should have pics posted soon.

Considering this source.. You have to trust it. Langhammx and you need to debate this one, he swears you are wrong.

I concur with Langhammx, no in-house factory Yamaha effort for '16. Told to me directly by soneone that would know. But '17 though, i think we'll see the return of big blue.

For SX this year my guess is we'll see Chad involved with JGR in some manner

Reed should do a fairwell sx tour on a 2 stroke Yamaha. That way there are no expectations. Just make the main and have fun.

I totally trust Langammx as a source here, but I was quoting a Yamaha employee, I kind of have to side with Dave on that one Smile

Either way, I hope Chad gets factory equipment for another year.

Well, if he does get JGR to help him in SX for '16, and he gets to ride what Barcia is riding...it will be in some cases, better than factory.

I did a few calculations. Dropping the best and worst result. Reed averaged a 9.78 place finish between all the races he participated in through 2015.

I understand he has a large following and social media presence but its gotta be hard for teams to justify what I'm sure is a top 5 salary for only a 10 place guy.

That being said I hope he can make a deal with someone because he is still capable of mixing it up with there guys for a few races.

If he goes to JGR, how will he and J-Bone get along? J-Bone was Stewarts long-time mechanic and I'm sure there was bad blood at one time. I know they are more mature than to hold a grudge for that long, but it would be interesting to hear their stories around the coffee table...

The Vital silly season tracker lists both Reed and Metty under RCH...

It also lists Hanny under MCR...

Maybe I missed the thread where everyone was talking about that? It's likely.

Chad is smart. He keeps people talking about him (like now) and he always has his shit figured out. He is good at publicity. Pulls from MX early bc of the fly 360. Everyone talks about it. Wait...Everyone talks about "IT". Boom attention for fly 360. Chad is a very smart man and knows how to play his cards and keep a poker face.

Not sure of the details, but it's too bad they couldn't put it together.

People talk about the Alessis but it doesn't help them out. Chad is loosing sponsors left and right. The ship might be pulling up anchor to set sail.

I liked him myself but the ongoing cryptic Twitter Facebook stuff gets old. Ever since the Canard incident he hasn't been focused on just racing and doing his thing.
Hope he gets on the track and doing it for fun.
