Yeah, that sucks. :|

Why does a cloud of doom seem to follow anyone who tries to run a 2T in the pro classes?

Are there any back up riders as good as Cedric?

[burn1986]

Wow, kind of a heavy blow. I wonder if DV and Cedric were visited by someone who told them to not compete this season (conspiracy theory of the day).

In the end, it could end up in sabotage and intimidation.
But it sure is a damn bummer for all the 2 stroke fanatics...

If i can say my opinion;.. Put Poucel on that bike!

Cedric simply can't heal from broken elbows that fast.  He already had a contract in place to race select GPs which is why his schedule was only 6 races to start with.  Not so much conspiracy as the people who are actually paying him a salary wanting their rider healthy. 

DV said already he's not looking for anyone to ride the bike.  You're asking the impossible anyway.. looking for someone who can 1) make a SX main, 2) familiar with a 250 2-stroke in SX, 3) willing to race for basically nothing but the exposure.

Ummm me, me, oh and me!

Ok, I guess I'll take the bike to ride this season. 

[snook620]

Unless they can get someone in the top 10 to ride the 250 I dont see it making a main, the top 20 in the class are all bad dudes.

Im not saying the bike cant do it because it can, just saying its going to take a serious rider to make a main this season no matter what he's riding. Cedric was the best guy for the job, DV knows it.

[Shawn36]

Exactly, the next logical possibility was Fabien Izoird who has made mains the last few years and according to the video linked below has at least ridden a 2-stroke recently.  But he is now Factory Kawi's replacement for Jake Weimer.

Pack that puppy up & meet me at the next round.  Them punks ain't got nothin' on a 45 year old, over weight Mulletard.  Somebody get me another beer!

Is Christophe Pourcel close to being fit?? That would be awesome to see someone like that out there on the two stroke. His fan base would go to another level. And he fits the french them with DV12, and Cedric, so he would be an obvious replacement.
