in "How was your weekend" he said he was excited about riding the 350 this weekend, so I take it he's gonna be at Qwest Field?

Yessir!!

as much as i want him to do it, i would much rather see him fully prepared for the outdoors and concentrate on that with the little free time they have.

Agreed. The way the season has been this year dude, I'd be a little nervous about putting him in the big bike class if I was Rodger..

Can someone post the 'how was your weekend' link with Ken?
Just got done watching New Orleans and I was surprised to see him drop back like that.

I agree that the 350 may not be a good idea. Outdoors is where he should shine and to be honest I just want to see him make it there healthy before anything else.

It's not like he needs to spend any time on getting the bike ready. They just slap his 250 suspension on the 350.

I can see why they want to do it, figuring he has a good shot at a podium with the depleted field, but they should put him on the 450. The 350 ain't gonna do squat in the 450 sx class.

They put him and Mushy both on the 350 because it is pretty much identical to their 250's as far as chassis wise. No need to adapt to a totally different bike in such a short time.

I don't know, Canard and Barcia both adapted to the 450 chassis fairly quickly in previous seasons, but i understand your point.

Mookie should do that anyways. JDR said that they offered the 350 for their riders if they wanted to do it. I'd like to see him have a crack on a bigger bike.

I think Roczen has a good shot at a podium.
For that matter I wish Barcia would run the 450 class for a couple races too now that the title is clinched. He could work out some of the jitters before next year... and I believe Geico has a CRF 450...
