Remember, this is not a comprehensive list of every rider and team for 2013—but it's what we know to this date.
 
I see alot of talent in that listing... alot of talent that needs grooming and some thats proven they are capable of Championships.... maybe everything will come together for some of these riders and we will see some unexpected podiums.
 
The last few years have been all about injuries. Dungey might not be the absolute fastest rider, but he is the fastest one who makes it through a season. Hopefully RV is in top form again. Then again knees can be fixed better than hands with missing bones. With all the new riders I look forward to an exciting racing season.
