Proof? Didn't RV and JW just sign for another 3 yrs? If true, I bet RV gets the boot. Seems to be Kawi's style. RC and JS come to mind. Tomac will then get the boot when AC moves up to the big bikes.

I've said it before & will again.. If Honda lets ET ride outta any tent but RED they need to lay off the rocks. I will be very surprised if RCH doesn't make a HUGE run at him.

I would think Tomacs price tag would be higher than there budgets. But...

Ohhhh boy I hope this is true! Of all the riders out there that I would love to see go green it would be Eli. I don't think they will get rid of RV, no way, the dude is the best in the world for the past 3 years. Yes, I know the Dunge could put up an arguement....but he has yet to beat RV for a title

Eli going green would be bad ass!

If I recall correctly, RV won the last several races and was eating away at RD's points lead in a big way, had all the momentum then had that gnarly crash that took him out of the series. Yes, the Dunge got the title but RV didnt finish the series. I know, "gotta be in it to win it"...... They are both bad asses in my book.

RV has only won his titles because Dungey had bike problems / broken collarbone. It's just the nature of the beast

Weimer ended up 3rd in SX last year and was running up front outdoors. From what little info we get here on the bottom of the world Kawi was happy that both of their guys were on the same program and working together so they didn't want to upset that. Yes Weimer got extended 2 years and that bike is spoken for through 2014.

So no.. Tomac will not be on green next year. It was implied that RCH visited Tomac's house with some Suzukis on PulpMX.

Sometimes the rider or a team member will tell you something they don't want posted on a board. When that happens I respect it.

Besides, there is plenty of guys that post more then I do that know more then I do, if they want to post it up, they can.

Honestly Gieco would be crazy not resign him to fill the hole Windham left.. They have been invested in Eli since his last 1-2 years as an amateur so letting him go when he's done nothing but produce would be ludicrous. Now as far as RCH goes just listen to Ricky @ the Phoenix round telecast.. He kept repeating how impressed he was with ET & couldn't stop complimenting him. RCH has mainstream money sponsors that want to win and a owner in Carmicheal that refused to lose as a racer. Eli is a hard worker, rides with fire in his eyes and lays down for no one.. Also very marketable as the all American boy that comes from a great racing family. Why wouldn't RCH throw the check book at him?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume Tomac is still racing a Honda today. Being 17 points down,Tomac has to win.
Who has the best chance of finishing between him and Kroc? Tomac has to average 6 points ahead of Kroc a race from here out.

You sure have some rose colored glasses on there bud. By the same reckoning, RD won both titles in '11 since he lost both championships by less points than his mechanicals cost him, which are way more out of a rider's control than a crash.

You're delusional man.


Also, you will recall that last year Reed was faster than RV and chipping away at the points. He looked way faster in Dallas until his injury, so how about we give last year's title to Reed instead?
