Anyone hear if BT101 is gonna be in for this? Will he be riding for 22 Motorsports?


If I was Chad I wouldn't even consider signing Ben. Not because I don't like him but because he has a proven track record.....For injuries

I agree... I think he is probably looking pretty hard at the up and coming lites riders at the moment. He's had lots of time to do his homework. Chad is a very smart guy, not always my favorite at times, but none the less very smart. When he makes a decision it WILL be the right one.

Rumor is Jeff Ward according to the "insiders" at Vital

Mitch said he thinks he has a package for Dean. Said he couldn't match what JGR was offering (Yamabucks) but neither will Wardy, now that JGR is out of it.

He should stick with Mitch for two years and work his ass off to get the big money when the economy is better

That is if he isn't already being offered big $$$ by KTM. If that's the case I think he needs to go orange and get the money while he can. Moto careers are short lived

Wilson/ Dungey and Roczen/ Musquin would be such an awesome team. I'd dare to say KTM could be the team to beat if that happens.

Not sure about Musquin. I know his hand was broke but he hasn't been moving forward since the break. How many years does he have on his contract after 2012? One or none?

Wilson said last week, he's too big now for the 250 and gives away too much of a weight advantage to the smaller riders in his current class now. He did note that returning to PC on a 250 was still an option.

That option and the Wardy interest / rumor are useful cards his agent may play in negotiations elsewhere. The KTM move would seem a natural and there would probably be some Red Bull money there. Wherever he ends up, I think it will take a package of sponsors and a proven bike to get him to sign in this economy. Wilson indicated he'll be signed by next week.

I still have my mind made up that a two two deal would be a solid ride for Dean.

Wilson retweeted last week or so  a tweet from his current mechanic that said prepping a 450 for dean with a pic of the bike , then again he also tweeted a pic of a yz450 with #15 number plates so who knows.

I think barcia will come out on the new 450, holeshot and win the first moto

I agree.  I am a huge Dungey fan but Barcia on a 450 for $1m would be interesting!
