We had the pleasure of riding with BT last Thursday and his move to racing in Aussie is not a bad thing at all. Especially with a young family started etc.
The competition in the Aussie series is now right up there now and this can be verified by looking at where our top riders placed this year.

Ben will be based at home and travel over as required so it looks likely that we will see alot of him over the next 12 months. His speed is right up there.
Just as good to see him smash the Aussies anyway.

not sure if Coop's has a ride signed yet, but i would be suprised if he does not end up with a ride,

Marmont has been the man over there, winning the last 5/6 sx and mx titles (and finishing second to Chad Reed in the other sx title) he will be tough on home soil for sure,

Whakatane will be awesome to watch as well, with Josh, Coops and BT all riding,

Has Josh confirmed he'll ride next year? In the latest DRD he expresses interest, but no firm commitment to do the Aussie series again.

i thought is was a 2 year contract that he had, could be wrong tho

I think the surgery on his shoulder (and resulting complications) has put some doubt in over whether he'll be in next year.
