It'll make for one very interesting MX & SX season with him home I reckon, be interesting who picks him up, KTM 350 maybe ???.
As you say good to see him home, I really hope he goes like a demon at the MXoN.

Yeah, according to Josh's column in latest ADB mag, this will be his last season in GPs. He's not sure what he'll be doing next. Reckons Aprilia choice not the best in hindsight, development cuts stuffed up refining bike. Aprilia and CCM out of world MX next season.

I would imagine it would have been a fairly lucrative deal for him to have chosen that ride

Interesting, so Yamaha have Coppins & Subway ( Kings ), wonder if they work together or as seperate teams. It's a big vote of support for NZ MX if Yamaha are going to support two teams like that.
