I posted this earlier but it appears the whole topic was removed???


During an interview with Reed he mentioned that Kenny will be changing teams for 2015. See Interview with Reed here:

I wonder if KRoc will be joining Twotwo?

They both raced the GP's before they came to the US, so that makes sense.

Reed will be looking for someone who can actually contend for wins and championships.....if KRoc doesnt go to RCH then i believe it will be a good fit with Reed and the kawasaki

Very strong rumors linking Kenny to RCH have been around for quite a while.

Kenny will not be at TwoTwo.

You say no to TwoTwo with such confidence. Is this because you know another rider is already going there, so there is no room for Kenny? Spill the beans.

Panic_rev, Roczen is sponsored by Red Bull and two two is sponsered by Monster energy drink. Unless Chad drops Monster, there is no way Kenny is going to his team.

Because Kenny to RCH is pretty much a done deal.

Roczen to RCH. Chad couldn't afford Roczen but I am sure he would love to have the 94 on his team. All of the teams would.

Why is it so hard for people to grasp the concept of PERSONAL and TEAM sponsors. Monster sponsors Chad Read not Two Two. That is why the Monster logos are not on the bike or the truck. Kenny could keep red bull and still go to two two although I doubt it as the RCH rumor seems pretty strong and just needs a PR.

He may also see himself as a suzuki guy or has a feeling for the brand that carries some weight in what he chooses to do. I don't know about growing up but he was on a zuk before the ktn ride.

Reed burned more money last weekend in Vegas than Roczen has made in his entire career. The dude is loaded.

I know this is a stupid question. But why is KR even leaving KTM? If it's the contract that is up, I don't see why KTM would let him go. Someone fill me in

You are very, very misinformed. How does one afford himself anyway? Your posts confuse me. You can forget about Roczen at TwoTwo though, I promise you that.

But only one team offered him free, unlimited tattoos.
So he signed with them. Smile

Ktm has to let him go if he doesn't want to be there.

If Chad Reed was on the team you would be hearing about the bike.

Reed said he would love to have Roczen, he just needed to find a bank to rob to be able to afford him.

Reed would have to pay out his own pocket for Ken, why would he do that?

Hopefully Watson and RCH have their collective shit together like they do with Mike Webb at the factory semi, cuz Kroc will be pushing the limits of that bike for sure, and deserves a top team behind him.

So Roczen makes more than Reed and Reed is not loaded? I always thought he was.

Didn't know the bike wasn't dialed. Wonder if dunge would do better on another color.

Your posts are idiotic. JT$ is close with reed and the whole team and if he says that Two Two can't afford him then I tend to believe. And then you have Chad who has been very open about wanting Roczen but not being able to pay. You're arguing based on your (perceived) personal knowledge. It's not about if Roczen makes more, it's that combined the two of their salaries would not work business wise for the team.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, much appreciated. but I still say Reed is loaded.

I think what some of you fail to understand is reed does not want to be dipping into his own pocket to hire another rider the team needs to sustain its self if it is going to survive as does any team . Thats why reed currently has no team mate and you see a lot of posts complaining about not enough backing on twitter etc.

Perhaps people should consider who's agent is close with whom and we could avoid silly posts about what "dude" is more loaded.

I am surprised you guys don't really pay more attention to guys like JT$ who have real conversations with the actual people involved. None of the guys are required to say everything they hear but there are plenty of hints.

Maybe on the surface level but at the end of the day with some thinking outside the box who knows? Roczen brings a lot of value to the table and maybe It's off the radar but if Two Two put forward a win-win proposition maybe they could come up with a deal that is a no brainer. At the end of the day if Two Two was to make it happen it would certainly move the needle and be a game changer.

I would love to see Roczen on Two Two, if they could get the backing It would be such an awesome pairing. Two guys who are know for their sheer natural talent and who are still having fun with it, seems like a dream team to me. Alas one can dream.
