Josh Hayes I think wants to be closer to his kids now. International travel and family life probably doesn’t work now for him same with Herrin. JD Beach all day every day
I'm prolly gonna get dragged for this but.... Hayden Gillim. I think that guy has more talent in the palm of his hand than most guys could ever hope for. Dude did 24's at Barber on a SSTK bike. GTFO.
Wow, that’s someone I overlooked but is interesting. But doesn’t he also ride for one of the bagger teams (and they pay pretty damn good)?
Melandri or Haslam I believe could still put a factory bike in the top 10. I bet Biaggi and Rossi could too. Pol Espargaro and Pedrosa could probably as well
PJ is the best bet from this side of the pond if he doesn’t have a ride. Pretty sure Gagne has another year on his contract
