VOL. 51 ISSUE 34 AUGUST 26, 2014 P23 on an RCH Suzuki next year, but there has been no confirmation whatsoever from the team. Rumors have it that Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Dean Wilson will move over to the Red Bull KTM squad to be Ryan Dungey's teammate in the 450 class, and that Justin Hill (also currently on the Pro Circuit team) will also move over to Red Bull KTM as Marvin Musquin's new teammate in the 250 class. In May, the Rockstar Energy team announced it was going to switch to Husqvarna motorcycles for 2015 and had already signed 2014 West 250 Super- cross Champion Jason Anderson. The team will have two more riders on the squad and one of them is ru- mored to be Zach Osborne, who is currently on the GEICO Honda squad. "We've got Jason Anderson coming back, but we aren't able to announce the rest of the team just yet," said Rockstar team manager Dave Gowen. And what about newly crowned 250 outdoor moto- cross champion Jeremy Martin? He's staying put with his current Yamahalube/Star Racing Yamaha Team. "Jeremy and Cooper Webb are going to be with us at least two more years," said Regan. "We also have Anthony Rodriquez coming back; he's been hurt. We also have an amateur guy, Aaron Plessinger, coming in, so he'll be our fourth guy on the team." Blake Baggett, second in this year's 250 outdoor championship, is rumored to be leaving the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki Team, but where he will land is still a mystery. The injured Adam Cian- ciarulo has a multi-year contract with the Pro Circuit Team and will be back, as will, everyone assumes, pro rookie Chris Alldredge. The future of the team's other two riders—Martin Davalos and Darryn Dur- ham—is still unknown. Muscle Milk Honda has already announced that Trey Canard has re-signed with the team. We expect that he will have a new 450 teammate, but Honda has been quiet about who that rider might be. Yoshimura Suzuki's lone rider James Stewart is ex- pected to be back with the team next year.
