Hangtown News/Pics 1: Saturday Afternoon

Some quick notes from Hangtown Saturday afternoon.

The weekend is engergized with a lot of effort, and more that the videos on Motocross.com and the live announcers. There has been a lot of building and improvement.

Silly season is still wide open. Suzuki is still working the pits for a 450 guy. People aren't saying much. The rumor about Byrne going to Gibb may pre-mature and he is at least considered for a Suzuki spot to replace Tedesco.

Factory Connection has 3 confirmed, Grant, Weimer, and Trey Canard. This leaves one or two spots, just depends.

Joaquim Rodrigues is riding under the KTM tent right now.

With Honda grabbing up Tedesco and Townley both, will they have enough budget left for Windham?












Stewart was fastest in timed practice.













Lamson on the full-on retro CR125, with Lamy-retro gear too.












Villopoto is running the red number 1 plate.















Checking sag on the retro Lamson CR125!


















It sure is cool seeing RC back!













The rider's meeting covered the new format, timed practice and no qualifiers.
