Title: AMA Red Bull Rookies Cup Pulled
Post by: DesmoDiva on January 20, 2009, 07:19:26 AM
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.

Huge respect for that kid. Hope we see him tearing it up on some big bikes some day.
