natedogg624 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 i dont see edwards or toseland going anywhere. plus i highly doubt tech 3 will consider going from mid to lead pack riders to having a backrunner on their roster... no matter how much money monster pushes around.

natedogg624 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 hopper left suzuki for more money with kawi and looked what happened... suzuki went from backrunner to now they are showing test times in top 5 even top 3. and hopper was still fighting for last place... sure he may be a good rider, but he certainly isn't a smart one. other riders are now reaping the rewards of his testing IMO.

mrmako777 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hoppers not even riding for kawasaki this year so its not so far fetched to think he would ride for yahama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 also think about it from monster's side of it. now they are sponsoring edwards and JT, who are more or less mid to front pack runners every weekend. why would you go back to a guy who was a backrunner. tv cameras only show the action up front. hopper being in back means little to none airtime for showing off the monster brand. sure let him test with yamaha, but yamaha has got a large role in this as well. i just dont see them dropping either of them for a known backmarker...
