We’re still waiting on confirmation of other rumors….There’s a new team coming out of Oklahoma with Jimmy Albertson and Colt Nichols…We expect Nick Wey will be back in Monster Energy Supercross with his Moto Mafia MC unit…Valli Motorsports might make a return…. What about Team Tedder?...What about Blake Wharton, Nico Izzi, Ryan Sipes and others?...Who will be Chad Reed’s teammate?...We’re hearing crazy things that could even impact the teams listed above…Could Christophe Pourcel be back to race 250 outdoors? Looked good for a while but that trail seems to be growing cold…As always: Where’s J-Law?
