Does anyone know what the supposed rift was about, causing KR to skip town and move over to RCH? Or did emotions have nothing to do with it?
I remember a while ago, maybe last year, Bierer or Everts commenting to the media that Herlings was better than Roczen at that age, or something to that effect.
Was that all it took to piss off Roczen and ultimately lead to him leaving the team? Or was it something else that went on behind closed doors? Was Roger still giving Dungey preferential treatment despite KR outperforming him? Or was there nothing and it was strictly a business decision?

He also went on to give this interview with RacerX;
RacerX: You guys (Everts & Jonny O'Mara) were also talking about Ken Roczen having the potential to be the “next guy.”
Everts: Yeah, I’m sure he can be the next guy, but it will all come down to how he works and how we will approach his future. He’s been a great rider and he’s done what he’s needed to do, but if he wants to be the main guy and the big guy in the future in the big class, you have to work harder and more efficiently. For him to be working with a trainer now is a good step. That’s the first big step. I hope he can continue that for the next number of years. If he can work the same way Ryan is working now, I think he can be the next Villopoto of the future. I’ve seen Ken riding in Vegas and I’ve seen how he is already throwing that 450 around. I was also quite impressed with Ken at the des Nations. You can see that he has a lot of feeling with the bike. He’s a very talented rider, and he has such a great feeling with the bike and how to treat it and ride it. He’s a bit different than the others.

The last super team was Yamaha Reed, Ferry and DV or you might get by with Suzuki RC and Tortelli
