So Reed is going to suzuki and Dungey riding for TwoTwo cant really get much better for chad!. TwoTwo are really becoming a big team out there and there not even 1 year in the books!. i think all chad reed's work has paid off and now with dungey there really taking a step in the right direction!
Cant help but think chad should get an aussie rider in there to help them get there chance but maybe thats what the future holds for TwoTwo. Anybody else feel the same?

Did I miss the press release???
Pretty sure we'll get an official announcement soon that Dungey is riding a fuel injected KTM450 in 2012, possibly on his own team, possibly on the Factory Red Bull KTM team. It's common knowledge fron industry insiders that it's a done deal.
And Reed going to Suzuki??. Where did that come from. My bet is Reed rides red again in 2012, still with his own team and a 2nd rider with Factory backing from Big Red.
And while I'm having a punt I say Stewart rides Suzuki next year with major backing from Red Bull, as the Indians have re-joined forces with Larry Brooks and Jeremy McGrath's new Honda team. No idea who will be riding for them yet.
So I say the big 4 players look like this next year:
Poto - Kawi (done deal he's still under contract)
Reed - Honda
Stewart - Suzuki
Dungey - KTM
Time will tell how good my crystal ball is...

i really hate rohypnol! i can never remember anything! where and when was that announcement??
listened to Pulpmx a bit lately and there are a few different ideas on whats going on.
i have only heard the rumors that nelso has mentioned, oh those and that Hansen is going to HnH (pulpmx haha hopefully getting the release on that any day now)
Stewie to Suzuki - so hard to say though with the team apparently having a two year deal - but you never know - i heard somewhere that there was a court hearing ongoing - but is that from pulling cars over or for getting out of the yamaha contract? what about stewart to honda - (havent heard anything but possibility? probably not)
Reed - suzuki?? Rockstar is rumored to be pulling sponsorship from the suzuki team?? would Dungey stay and race under 22 motorsports?
but i think Dungey probably goes to KTM,

I'm going with Nelso - looks spot on.
I think the Brooks/McGrath gig looks interesting. How good is Honda looking next year - Reedy's team, Brooks/McGrath team and Canard (goodness knows if he has a team mate, but you'd have to look at Barcia).
Stewie needs some new direction and maybe yellow is the way. I cant get happy on the blue things either...

I heard:
The Dungey - KTM deal was done. How cool will their team be with Dungey and Roczen on it?
Larry Brooks/Jeremy McGrath on Troy Lee Hondas with funding from San Manuel with Kyle Regal and I other, and they were talking to Alessi, Andrew Short and 1 other. Maybe Josh Grant. But I thought was SX only, so maybe not a spot for Alessi..
Stewart with new sponsor on Suzukis with his brother on the 250f

I saw last week there was speculation that Caroli (spelling) was going to make an AMA switch next year, so that made me think that Dungey would be going to Reedys team ( I doubt KTM would have the $$$$$ for Dungey and Caroli).
So if Stewart goes to Suzuki, does that mean Metty will be his team mate (another year on his contract with Suzuki)with backing from Red Bull, or will they be on 2 seperate teams???
Then I wonder if Reedy will be Honda again next year??
Will be interesting to see how it all pans out!!

Pulpmx had Jimmy Button on it yesterday. Geez he is interesting, as he is a rider manager now and had a good insight into possible changes - albeit well chosen words as he is mates with McGrath and I think Larry Brooks is his bro in law...
He assumes Dungey to KTM is done, McGrath/Brooks on Hondas (because of McGrath-Honda relationship) and will be looking for championship capable riders x 2 for 2012, lots of talk about Pourcel back in the US next year (and on a good team), expects Reed to still ride Hondas.

Yeh I heard Dungey to KTM has been done for a few weeks, as long as KTM can get the 2013 mod injected 450 cleared with the AMA

has anyone else heard the dean wilson to 22 motorsports rumors? i thought DW had another year left with PC Kawi? seems a little odd to me. but good to see he won the outdoor title.
I over heard someone saying that it was a done deal but i didnt think that he would step up to the 450 just yet and like i said thought he had another year on the pc deal.

Yeah, saw that. Chad is the the king of cryptic spin at the moment though. He'd make Warnie proud.
If he has got a mechanic on board like he says and Wilson has another year on PC, then maybe Pourcel? He's championship capable, lives in Florida and is part of the PC 'team'. Wouldn't most top level guys take their mechanic with them?
There's just not many front runners in need of a ride. Maybe Alessi.

He's what i heard yesterday - Reedy got his mechanic and will have Alessi, LB/MC Honda have Pourcel and Andrew Short, Suzuki lost Rockstar which should allow Stewart and his Red Bull sponsorship to ride Suzukis. Crazy times.
Really looking forward to MXoN now and hopefully Pourcel rides for France and steps up with Cairoli to battle the Ryans.

Goose to Two Two sounds like a Chad is building an even stronger team.
From what I heard about Alessi's time at Suzuki Goose would never work with him again.
I think it would be awesome to see Dean Wilson on two two motorsports. But you would have to think he would want a Lites SX crown after being close this season and 2 run the number 1 plate next year outdoors
