OK guys, let's get this straight.
You're saying Carmichael should go on the 250, and Ferry or Hughes on their "big" 4 strokes. Hmmmm, something's amiss here. Perhaps it's because the "open" class, as far as I can tell, is meant to be faster than the 250 class, and neither Ferry nor Hughes can beat Carmichael on their "big" 4 strokes.
Makes no sense to me. Maybe they could still win, and I'm not saying those bikes arent' real open class bikes (well, yes I am :p ), but IMHO they should send LaRocco over there on a real open class bike--the CR500. Better yet, CR500AF. Remember, he was the last to win the open class in 93--on my "fav"--KX500. :cool:
