with Sipes out for the rest of the nationals, they should give his ride to Weston Peick
Agreed, Peick is exciting to watch particularly when he's in the pits and pissed off (Daytona). Seriously, the guy has spirit.
I'm sure it has said this ever since he did it, but I never noticed it read, "Izzi finished off his ACL during practice". Finished off?
Does Rock Star Suzuki have anyone still racing?
If the rumors are true that Rockstar Racing is leaving Suzuki for another brand to get some actual OEM support, and dropping the team down to 3 riders total it will be interesting to see who gets cut loose. Millsaps and Anderson are definitely in, so that leaves 1 spot between Sipes, Wharton and Izzi. I would have to say Izzi is unlikley, so it comes down to Wharton or Sipes. Both have had flashes this year (SX for Wharton, MX for Sipes) but both are inconsistent as well. And Sipes gets hurt a lot.
After getting his first podium, I forget about Anderson. The mind is a terrible thing.
I wonder if thye would cut all three loose and go after someone else. I have no idea what anyone's contract situation is.
T Hahn couldn't get a ride why should SX only Wharton or DNS Sipes they are always hurt and both are toast in the pits "That's what has been said"....................Time for new blood bunch of it ............RV RD ET
MXdN !
What is with everyone 'suffering from a virus'? How do so many racers contract some virus bad enough to take them out of the series or suffer through several rounds?
Agree Mr-Mx, it might be a good time for Rockstar to go in a new direction with the remaining 250 rider. There are good young riders who might deserve a chance: Dillan Epstein, Kyle Peters, Jace Owen, etc, etc. If the other rumor is true that Rockstar might be on KTM in 2014 I wonder if they will end up with Joey Savatgy?
At motomandp The traveling. At MX Bob.....WHAT?
It would be great to see the Rockstar squad get some good OEM support. At the same time, I worry a brand switch could hurt DM18, especially KTM. I know KTM makes some great bikes, but they either work great for guys, or they hate them.
I think an awesome line-up for Rockstar would be DM, Anderson, and Peick or another 250 rider.
I like Sipes, but he has been very inconsistent.
On wednesday I was riding at a local track when tragedy struck. When it happens so close to home it makes you have a new appriciation for every rider on and off the track. RIP CS#5
