    I believe last year he quit or was let go very early in the season, as everything about Benny on social media went silent.

    Didn't catch them on lap times but they came out swinging. I would put them in the low 1:50's..

    Wow, I knew there was a hance for him to get the seat but I didn't think it would happen in 2020. I'm okay with being wrong in this case.

    Herrin listed his GSXR today, too. Funny timing.

    Yup, here I thought he was going to be getting the bump up for 2021, but it looks like he got it a year earlier.

    Yep, quite funny. Wonder if he's going to get an SV650. :crackup:

    I’d be shocked if Josh didn’t have a contract yet, just have to wait for a media announcement.

    Good on Bobby though. I think Josh Hayes has really helped him out a ton.

    Good on Bobby. Good guy and well deserved. :beer:
    When he gets his mind right, he’s hard to beat.

    I asked the same question. Team Hammer is throwing down on two SBK's two Supersports and Two Twins, right? If so, that is a SCARY ass group of riders.

    RRP Kinda Superbikey

    I believe it’s just Blasius on a twin. AD moved up.

    you could be right. Dumas has been racing CVMA on Jake Lewis' old GSXR.

    jonathanp Tech drop out

    I don’t think he earned it more than Jake Lewis, but it’s just my opinion. Jake has been doing very well and now that they get better stuff they kick him out is kinda shitty to me.

    I don’t know if the Ulrich’s made that call though. Jake was under contract to Suzuki, who paid his salary.

    It still stinks for him though. He’s young, so I’m hoping he’ll be able to sort this out for himself, if not this year, next.

    Yea, I was really hoping Jake would get to run it with the new Ulrich team, after they finally get more backing from Suzuki and most likely a better prepped electronics package.

    Jake has definitely been in the hunt for a long time and I feel he is an amazing rider. Unfortunately that ill timed crash with Yosh, definitely hurt him. Even if he and Fong would have swapped spots, at least he would still be in the mix.

    I’m guessing the announcement will be coming shortly.
