Are the top pros changing color?

Lots of rumors floating around lately. Check out what Steve Mathes wrote in his Racer X Canada, column.

"As far as the rumors reported on Racer X website about James Stewart to L&M Yamaha, the people that I talked to said that it’s a done-deal also. But it could be the people I spoke to just read RXI’s report and are running with it, believe me when I say that’s a very high possibility. I could call Larry Brooks and ask him what’s up but I have as much of a chance of LB telling me anything as I do modeling the new Calvin Klein underwear for Vogue magazine. I am sure that we will see more Breaking News soon.

I did hear from somebody at Suzuki that Reedy’s “little Jerry Maguires”, er…agents were having big meetings with Roger DeCoster at Suzuki recently. The same source said that it’s close to being done, Reedy to Suzuki. But then Reedy said at the SX banquet on Sunday that he hoped to stay with L&M a few times and was pretty emotional, so I don’t think it was just lip service. Who knows who will end up where, but look for the dominos to start to fall soon… Could there be two L&M rigs?"

It sure is going to be interesting, where they end up. I would be very surprized if Stewart stayed with a Monster energy sponsored team, but will Kawasaki want to loose such a high profile rider, will they look for a new sponsor to keep him or take a gamble on someone else.

My thoughts exactly.
As far as Roger picking up Reed, that might be just what that young Ausie needs. A quick backhand from "the man" should knock the whinyness right out of him..

I doubt there'll be two L&M rigs. That's BIG money! I figure a Red Bull deal for Stewart, no matter what the color of his bike.

Roger can. But I still reckon it's a good thing Alessi's young.
