I just ran across this (http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/557/2225/Motorcycle-Article/Red-Bull-AMA-Rookies-Cup-Cancelled.aspx).
I'll admit I didn't really follow this series much, but after seeing them all at Indy, I was happy to see such a great development program/opportunity for young riders.
I was looking forward to following the series more closely this season, but alas it won't happen. :'(
Discuss.
I feel sorry for the kids and the hopes of theirs that just got dashed with this...

Derby, thanks for the view of this situation from the otherside. [thumbsup]
Huge respect for that kid. Hope we see him tearing it up on some big bikes some day.
