I was super stoked for him when he got the factory Honda ride, he's a nice, down to earth hard working guy who might tend to get otherwise overlooked.  Supercross season was decent, being as he rode a portion of it injured.  We now get into outdoors and he's made one top ten?  What's going on?  The first round or two I could see, maybe some adjustment, get caught up on testing, but this is sad.  He can't be hoping to keep that dream ride next year.  I was just curious if any insiders knew anything.  Sucks to see him doing so poorly.

I never thought he deserved a factory ride but he did much better indoors than I thought he would

Him and canard are just keeping the seat warm for Barcia and Tomac anyway.  Hate to say it about Canard though, but he is too injury prone.

yeah I was thinking the same thing. At first I thought, well maybe hes like Seely and can't ride outdoors as well. But didn't he win a moto at Steel City awhile back?

Well, I saw a tweet that says RV2 is getting some serious offers from Honda/Fox and that Kawi/Thor probably won't match it.  Could mean that Brayton and Canard will be looking for work next fall....

They could go to Kawi since there will be openings

Why? They can get Dean Wilson and Tyla for the same money or less and they have more potential

Would not surprise me. They like to let talent go when they get expensive to keep

I would love to see RV2 on a red bike.  I am sick of seeing green at the top of the podium every week on the 450's.

Yea, I don't understand why he has a full factory ride, especially w/ Honda!?  The guy got what, 3rd, barley in SX and by default.  Hes terrible outdoors, shit hes not really that good at all IMO.  Hes not even a top 10 guy right now or hardly a top 15 at that!!  I'm not hatn on the guy, but I agree w/ some of the other comments.  Hes just not well rounded enough to have a full Honda factory ride.  Maybe a privateer team.  He just doesn't put in good enough results.  I doubt Honda will have him back after this contract is over with :devil:

Do not believe your satanic media and their lies, it is a dirt bike wonderland over here.  Just yesterday I cleared a 150 dead rebel double before hitting the stack of dead journalists step up.  Dirt so moist....from all their blood.

I agree with this guy, sell your televisions for gas money.
