Does Roczen buy out his RCH ride?

No way. Roczen wanted the Factory Suzuki. And he signed his Red Bull contract so that's out.

I thought the rumor was Millsaps. And Weimer's seat sounds open. Brayton? Hahn? Grant?

I'd imagine each colour bike apart from Yellow is looking at their bank balance and waiting for Tomac. Assuming no injuries I think all titles go through him for the next 5 plus years.

I agree. Stewart back on Kawi to ride out his career would be awesome but not much of a chance plus the bikes have changed so much.

Can't imagine any team is clammering over each other for James' sig any more. Not gonna win a title, now the PED drama and he's not exactly a spring chicken. I'd guess next year is his last and that's pending the WADA review.

If it's a money thing I don't see Wilson jumping ship. I think Wilson will be pretty well paid over at KTM. So he'll stay. If anyone was to jump it would be Tomac.

I think Roczen will have something to say about your last sentence... Wink

to me , who cares about the money , its all about that trophy & that #1 plate , thats what everybody dreams of ,but for most of these riders money is a huge factor, me personally i just really cant see the ktm suiting his style & why tomac???

I don't get all this tomac banter going on. The dude has another full year on his geico contract does he not? I don't see him being r he type of guy to break a contract

Brayton has been linked to Kawasaki recently, not sure how much truth there is to it though. I'm pretty sure Millsaps is already headed to Kawasaki for '15. Tomac has another year @ Geico, before Suzuki pulls him in to replace Stewart for '16. (JMO)

Wilson has already signed with KTM for '15, from what I've heard.

Yeah no doubt, I just feel like Tomac is a bit stronger and long term will be more successful... barring injuries of course.

They kinda feel a bit like KW vs RC to me. Smooth vs Rage.

True, but Kenny has a bit more aggression then KW had I think

You would think someone would pick up bagget. He has to be considered a title contender in mx.

Good points there. Crazy to think not many factory teams would be in a rush to sign him.

Tomac can opt out of his Geico contract at the end of this season, no?
