He is actually a guy that I think would benefit a lot by running the GPs.

Davalos, Bell, Osborne. I see a theme....and as much as it pains me to say this I see crashes, DNF's, not finishing seasons. I became a big fan of jason anderson and the rockstar team the past few seasons and loved him winning the title. I'm a davalos fan, wanted him to win the title this year, sucked his chain broke but them are the breaks in this sport.....I'm now excited to see what he can do on the husky. But the Osborne and Bell signings....scratching my head.

kevin, from the sounds of it Husky should hire you as the team manager. you've got this whole thing figured out.

if "all the freeagents" that you're talking about don't have rides, it's probably for a reason.

I believe the Blue is gone for 15 on the Husky graphics....I love the yellow and blue on the 14....hate to see the Blue go away.

this is kyle, and thats a good ideal!! that would probably be the first smart thing they've done as a team besides rehire anderson.. no factory teams give any of the top privateers a shot on a good bike they just hire kids who couldn't hack it on other top teams... GUESS WE WILL SEEEEEEEE JL100

Maybe it was the red bike that is the common thread in all the crashes,even Justin got tossed like a salad few times.

Husky kick ass in gps mx2 this past season.,

Do they get the works exemption?

Well in that case, gather your pennies up and you can give whoever you want a ride.

I'm not hating on the kid because I know the light switch speed he has rivals that of anyone (when he's on).

But shit he bent up a lot of kx's throughout his am career, I'm not too sure the husky is gonna help

I agree, between him and Davalos, there will be some carnage...Grinning

This young man has a lot of upside. Unfortunate he's been injured. He's a great pick up.

Husky Management (see DM18 & JA) know prospects.

Zach Bell has more than enough potential. Everyone knows of the injuries he has sustained. He has it more than any other honda rookies so far. So welcome that sexy white husky into the mix.

Guy, I'm sorry...but, some of the Ass-Hats in here clearly legitimize the term: Vitard.

Between Osborne, Davalos and Bell...the team is doing just fine.

And...that's just the 250s.

I'm confused here... could you please name one Geico rider that hasn't missed at least one season? Wharton, Hahn, Bogle, etc. all have missed at the least, one season? Not too mention Jordon (Smith) is coming off two previous injuries... Nothing against any of those guys, but what exactly is it that compels you to believe that Zach is someone of whom "can't hack it" or is absent of any type of potential?

Granted yes, it doesn't negate the fact that he has had some major crashes thus far in his career, but I guarantee there are not as many individuals, here in the States, that put forth the same effort and dedication to excellence as he does.

Nevertheless, only time will tell... I wish nothing but the best for him at Husqvarna and really hope that this fit is more suitable for him than the previous outfit that he was with.

I would rather sponsor a guy that can podium or possibly win a couple races, but also crash out of 10 races and finishes the season in 19th place, than hire a guy who gets an 11th place finish every race and finishes the series in 9th place. the second guys gets no brand/product exposure. its a business, and as far as brand exposure is concerned, finishing a series outside of the top 3 is worth a hill of beans.

when was the last time you saw an add that touted their riders 7th place finish in a championship? well, I see web adds all the time (right here) that boast up one overall, or one supercross victory. You can ride one win, or even a one podium a lot further than you can a top 10 standing in a championship.
