Pretty cool that RC is going to race! Chad is trying to get him to run a smoker for old time sakes - per RC's and Chad's Instagram

Bubba who? ?

Why would Bubba pit himself against Chad Reed on Reed's home turf shortly before the SX season?

That would be like Luke Skywalker going to a party at Darth Vader's house the night before the raid on the Death Star.

Your title is not accurate yet... They are still trying to get him over there.

AUS-X Open management is still yet to receive any formal correspondence from James Stewart, his management or his team regarding his attendance this weekend and are using all endeavours to ensure Stewart attends the AUS-X Open this weekend.

“We have fought long and hard on behalf of the fans to ensure James Stewart competes, or at the very least attends the AUS-X Open Event this weekend. We have had a binding contract with him since March to compete on November 28 & 29, but not formally heard from James Stewart, his management or his team since his accident in France. We are using all endeavours to ensure he honours his agreement and attends the AUS-X Open,” stated Event Director – Adam Bailey.

Bubba's Instagram pretty much said what I posted.  He is not going, he regrets it, sorry to disappoint the fans, have a lot to do to be ready for A1, wish he could go, loves Australia.... wants a pet kangaroo.... you know, the standard excuse   ?

 

Seriously, though,  he has come out and said no go  .  They (promoters) still want him to come even if to just show up. He has a signed contract saying he will be there. I think he will show up, sign some autographs and bolts.

Carmichael wont race. He is headed over for the 3 riding schools that are being run under the Ricky Carmichael University banner, alongside MotoDevelopments. He will possibly end up doing a feature with Chad during one of the intervals, with both of them on two strokes. That seems to be what they are trying to pull off. He certainly isn't racing. Cooper Webb could be considered as taking Stewarts spot !!

If RC's riding a 2T. I vote Copper gives him the super Bling RM 250 RC Replica.

 

Go on Copp, ya know you want to. You can put it on Flea Bay after he rides it and become a millionare  :devil: .

 

Seriously though, that would be EPIC!  :ride: .

RC is just fine. He spent ALL his youthfull years training and working his butt off daily while you guys were stuffing Ding Dongs, cheeseburgers and burritos down your pie hole. I can fully understand his chowing down a little too much now.  And I wouldn't hesitate to put my $$$ down on him in a one moto event against Reed. I doubt Reed is in race shape now also.

Binding contract since March...I wonder if they paid him up front?

Nothing his level of factory suspension can't handle.  Last race he dominated... yup with all the girth as you call it.

No way he races.  His ego won't allow him to enter a competition severely outgunned.  You don't go to war with blanks.  The last race he entered was against a bunch of other retired racers that he knew he had covered.
