1. The Monster Energy Supercross Champion is replaced by the Monster Energy Deathcross Champion.

2. We believe Phil's PulpMX sticker/helmet deal stays in place. It will look good in white.

3. Anderson doesn't like Matthes and they haven't spoken in years. Now someone will jump on top of his bike running the helmet sticker.

4. Best-case scenario is Matthes goes to Husky truck to check in on Phil, and Anderson, Christophe Pourcel, and Martin Davalos show up for a team reunion, and Osborne isn't there to do his usual Matthes-defending.

5. O'Neal can just run the same stuff for Phil that they used with Dean Wilson on the team last year.

6. Phil can use his sunny disposition to cheer up a team that just lost Anderson, Wilson, and Osborne.

7. Phil didn't have to get out of a Monster Energy deal because he no longer had one. When Monster signed with NASCAR, we heard of only one athlete who lost a deal—Phil, of course.

8. Phil leaves North Carolina to go back out to California and test in his favorite state.

9. Rockstar Husky gets to go back to Glen Helen for more mid-week motos. That's worked out great for them lately.

10. If we're lucky, Phil gets a chance to go to Florida to train with Tyla Rattray's group of KTM and Husqvarna riders, which includes A-Mart, and then Phil will sleep on A-Mart's couch for free and they'll argue about everything.
