During the silly season most of the focus is on the makers and shakers in the 450 championships. For this little edition we are just going to concentrate on the 250 guys and who is capable of what. There has not been a ton of news on the question mark 250 guys and there are a more than a few coveted seats out there.
With yesterdays not really surprising announcement that Chad was going to ride the outdoor championship things are going to get a bit trickier for the other contenders. Easily the top two contenders or early favorites have to be Mike Alessi riding for the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team and Ryan Villipoto riding for Monster Energy Kawasaki and the fore mentioned Reed. Mike comes into his third year riding the 450's and looks prime for a run while Villipoto contends his rookie year in the class with his sights and goals prepared for one thing and that is the championship.
