There isn't a guy that diserves a ride more. cummon BT, podium it. Make some dough. Hopefully he gets a ride. Suzuki or Hart n huntington. maybe Two Two. Rather see him doing things for mitch , thats where he'll do best. Get it ben. seems strange Wayne's gonna wrench for him

The guy has had a pretty rough career in the AMA, hopefully he can turn some heads this weekend and get a ride, like Organ Doner said it would be cool to have him on the Two Two team, but I don't know if that will happen. Good luck BT101

i seen what hes capable of on a supercorss track in 2007 i think it was winning that coast title, and from what i feel i pretty stacked field and then going on to go 1 and 2 or 2 and 1 all season long for moto wins with villipoto before just getting edged out by via what i bileave 1 and 1 scores on the final race so the guy was destined to be great, he just needs a solid program and to stay healthy, im sure the industry feels that way to but now wonder can he do it anymore. im cheering for him for ATLEAST a podium. realistic

Go BT 101. Watched BT and Josh Coppins race in Europe when I lived there. both have had some s#$t bad luck. Hopefully luck is looking down on you this weekend. BT deserves to do well. Keep it upright and I'm sure he stands as good a chance as anyone else who is turning up.

Actually, I'd be giving BT a ride over Grant, Short, Milsaps and pretty much over anyone else that doesn't have a ride. Maybe not over JS, just maybe. I'd have gone with him over Brayton Honda.

No way would I give him a ride over Brayton, I think Brayton will prove to be a good move. Honda didnt want to keep paying guys to sit on the couch and heal up. Which is where BT has been ALOT..

good to see BT101 back on a bike and feeling good. When he is on he can be dangerous.

Great to see BT back in the zone...he's got the speed and the talent he just needs a good team and faith to ease him back into USA....i don't care where he places in MEC..its just great to see he's returned..and given time he's got some unfinished business in the states...Go BT101..Best of luck
