Kelso was right!
Would he do better under the Rockstar Factory Canopy?
Maybe, someday...just maybe...
We'll see.

Bowers, Brayton maybe?
It would have to be someone who "worked his way into the top ten" once or twice, not someone who made a main a few times.
Nobody.
I don't believe there is anybody that is currently capable of making mains that is going to finish any better than a spot or two with different support.
And held it I think. And man, it was awesome. Hope he makes it back.
Beyond that right now, I think Pettis is a guy that could make the transition to top tier.
He can start. He's fearless. Channel the aggression into something more AMA-sanctioned, and we might get somewhere.
Sorry he is french but in 2018 he did lots of top 13-15 on a good bike (with Hansen then HEP, he performed the best of his team that regurlarly put 2 to 3 bikes in the main), but that was nowhere to be a factory bike either I think.
In Europe there are quite a few riders that could do well and that are currently struggling with the mxgp "paid to ride" scheme, and some to make a living take the privateer route then race the french sx tour, pro hexis sx series, british sx, german sx, paris supercross, and geneva supercross.
Jordi Tixier is also a rider who could do good in the USA. If he has equipment he trusts he can do everything. Remember the MXON where he came into without much preparation and scored one decent result to make France win. A few weeks later he raced the former Bercy Supercross and he really surprised me with his speed into the whoops and rhythm sections.
For the other privateer guys that make mains regularly, the bike isn’t the reason they are getting the results that they are. A factory bike isn’t going to drop your lap times 3-5 seconds a lap and allow you to race forward for 21 minutes. That’s on the guy twisting the throttle.
