Briefly...
Why? Because he was running factory-level KYB suspension.
Although Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Dean Wilson raced
a 450 outdoors (when he wasn't
injured) in 2013 for the Pro Circuit
squad, and he was still on a 450 at
the Monster Energy Cup, he's actually returning to the 250cc class for
both Supercross and motocross for
Pro Circuit in 2014.
gate he wanted, and whichever
side he picked became the "odd
side" for the first of three main
events, meaning qualifiers 1, 3,
5, 7, etc. had to line up on that
side, and 2, 4, 6, 8, etc., lined
up on the other gate. For the
second main event, the racers
had to switch sides. And for the
third main event, it's a free-for-all,
It's no secret that TwoTwo Motorsports has been trying to hire a
second rider to go along with Chad
Reed on the team for a few years. For
2013, they almost had Dean Wilson
hired two separate times, only to find
out from Honda that they wouldn't be
able to supply any factory parts for
Wilson's part of the effort. That was a
deal-killer for Reed and Wilson both.
Reed has been on the search for a
second rider during this off-season,
too, and the rumor at the Monster
Energy Cup was that he's close to
making a deal with Rockstar Energy
KTM's Davi Millsaps. Millsaps was
impressive on a Suzuki during this
year's Supercross season and has
transitioned to KTMs during the offseason, after missing the AMA Nationals because of major knee surgery. However, rumors have it that
Millsaps is owed close to a million
dollars from either the race team or
Rockstar Energy Drink directly, and
if he's not paid, he may jump ship to
Reed's team.
