So is there a reason that Robby is not on this list? I mean I like the list and the car count but where is Robby F'n Gordon!

I don't know about your dramatic factor Mike, but keeping tabs on Robby's adventures this year, has been mystically suspenseful and taxing for me ... a real challenge being wrapped within a shroud of uncertainty ... for just what the truth is, I don't know anymore ... except for that: FIM World Superbikes is racing Laguna Seca again this year and the Americans don't stand a chance. I was hoping that Nicky Hayden would had accepted Ducati's offer to race SBK this year for the triple crown.

Zero chance of Nicky or Colin,same weekend as MotoGP,German round.And as we (American's) have no one in the series,our on hope is a wild card ride/r.And how good the equipment is.As Yamaha is not in the series, that excludes Hayes and Beaubier.Roger Lee and Cardenas? Rumor has it Ben Spies feels like he's healed up a race ready.

Wing and a prayer is fair, the EBR's where dead last in Q,last WSB round.Aaron,maybe before he broke his maybe,but not now.May ? Laguna is not his best course,IMO

The last post (#3) is by an athlete rep who has another RB client, for whatever that is worth.

He's a X-Games skateboarding Champion . Hangs out with Deegan , Twitch , and that crew . ( although he's a RB guy and Deegan is RS ) Guess he's been spotted in Deegan's Pro-2 making laps and stuff . Figure its a rumor since you've never heard of him but , can easily see how him being X-Games champ , and turning laps in a Pro-2 could be easy rumor mill fodder .
