Sillyseason

Metcalf to Suzuki, Millsaps to JGRMX.. Wonder where the rest will land..

Does Short keep his Red Ride? We already knew that Trey would be taking one of the Red bikes, but will both of them be up for grabs?

How about Reed? Does he retire or go Orange?

Then you have a woods guy running the team that Roger left. With help from the Goat of course, but he's still racing taxicabs, so how much help will he really be?

DV12 is back stateside at MotoConcepts. I wonder if he'll bring his countryman to ride there?

Looks like a lot of changes are going to happen this off season.

Should be interesting at Anaheim 1.

I hope the change lights a fire under Millsaps' ass. Sounds like Honda is dumping Short. Maybe they want the Warrior? Is it true that L&M is looking for someone new? Does that mean Stewart is on his own? Riding at all? Can Villopoto stay healthy?

by the looks of things, Dungey is again going to be hard to beat.

questions abound

Honda has Canard, and I hope they land Pourcel, or keep Townley close at least. If Dungey keeps the plate for 2011, I will buy a Suzuki t-shirt. Vintage Bob

I tried to write that post in a way that Bob could understand.. :nener:

Hmm, As a KTM fan I'm not too excited about that, but who knows...with DeCoster at the helm maybe short will finally step up?

So perhaps the hints that Reed was putting out a few weeks ago about him going Red are true.

Is Alessi still riding the 350?

 

[dirt bike dave]

MXA's article says Alessi and Marvin Musquin will be Short's teamates. I imagine Alessi will get to pick 350 or 450 each week, depending on what he likes best for the track.

Kyle Regal signed to be bubbas team mate at San Manuel Yamaha

Kyle Regal signed to be bubbas team mate at San Manuel Yamaha

The same Kyle Regal who rode with Zach Osborne for Puerto Rico in the MXoN?

Interesting that Bubba was rumored to also be riding for Puerto Rico after not making the USA team. But then Team Bubba shot the slanderous rumor down, lol.

 

[pesky nz]

The 350 that Alessi rode at Glen Hellen Wrld GP went a bit too fast up the start straight for me to believe it was only 350 After all both "350" bikes smoked KTM's 450 off the start line and all the other brands too. It would not be cheating to grow the motor but it would be BS to claim a little motor if a full sized one is being used. (back when Smets was King in Europe his Berg was anything from 400 to 600 depending on off cambers 400 or sand 600. This info was passed to me by his mechanic.)

 

[dirt bike dave]

Not sure if KTM is honest about the displacement on Mike's bikes, but FWIW, Alessi has always been a great starter.

 

[whenfoxforks-ruled]

K-Dub signed for 2 more years, thats awesome!

 

[Vic]

This should be a great year, IF most can manage to stay healthy.

I agree, and Shorty has the knack for starts as well. They both just peter out too soon afterwards.

Maybe RD has some ideas about how to remedy that. :cool:

Grant to Honda.. http://www.racerxonline.com/article/josh-grant-to-honda-10-8-10.aspx

That leaves Reed out.. So, does he go it alone this year?

 

[dirt bike dave]

Grant was very fast when he was on the smaller Hondas for Factory Connection, so he could do well. He has not had the best luck or results the past few years.

Will be interesting to see what happens with Reed. In this economy, I'll bet salaries are getting rolled back, and maybe he was holding out for too much.

 

[Chili]

Interesting combination for Honda, get them both on the podium and Canard can thank the man above and Grant can flash Douche bag Mulisha wanna be gang signs.

 

[Wolf]

LMAO Chili...

 

[pesky nz]

It all sounds foolproof but I believe in the ability of fools so up until the first race there will be speculation. I just hope BT lives up to his full potential and a kiwi takes another title

 

[Chili]

You talking about a GP title? As of now Townley has no plans to race US SX in 2011 and doesn't have a ride lined up for outdoors as of yet either.
