You're probably right. Because if RV doesn't win this thing there won't be another decent U.S. rider attempting it for decades. The shame of not beating the Europeans, for any American rider, would be career threatening.Sad

As for "bailing on SX and American MX" money talks and riders the world over go where the most is on offer, just like any other sport.

Finally, Eli's dad traveled the world with his own career, so I expect that would hold no no fear for him ( and maybe it would be an adventure he'd relish?).

Having a theory is one thing, but to spew out pure trash is another. Nothing in your post came close to being a rational thought.
Not to mention, bicycle racing is a much more intercontinental sport than MX. . .

This is the third time Kawasaki has tried to sign Tomac, and they were successful.
Someone post the microphone, Laying on the floor please.... Tongue

Sooner or later, there will be an official press release, until then Kiwifan is in disbelief. Cool

It's a damn shame but now with RV finishing up his last season Kawi has a ton of cash to throw at Eli.
I wouldn't bank on RV retiring after this season. I know he's said he was done, "no matter what" the outcome of his MXGP season results were. But I'm a betting man and think that IF he doesn't win the title this year, he'll be back to try again in 2016.
Hell, even if he wins the title, he might decide he like the free travel and do another multi-million dollar season. I guess we will all have to wait and see what happens.

Will he take Davi's spot or will they add another rider? Hahn has another year right???

With AC not showing Kawi he can last a season, throwing some cash at Eli is the smartest move Kawi can make.

I have a feeling Davi will get the axe. Nothing to base that on but Kawasaki can't be very pleased with his performance at the moment. There were billboards all around town advertising the SX saying "Who's Next" with a pound sign before it. It had Davi's picture on there like he could be the next winner but he's never seemed like he was a podium threat all season.

The reason he wasnt doing well this Supercross Season is because he was sick most of the season and Honestly he just got done with the Surgery on his knees. He has never had his leg straight in a long time. I think they will keep Davi, Hahn and put Tomac on the team also.

EDIT: in another thread a vital member said an unnamed source told him it was true, and another said Matthes said in a podcast that it was true....so there you have it ...it must be true if a Matthes and a unnamed source says its true, personally I think I will wait until an official announcement (or not) is made in a few months

Well , with me being a Kawi guy and with Eli being one of my very fav's......if this pans out then consider me stoked! Of course I was stoked when we saw MC jump on board the green bikes too haha! And this beats that by a long ways. ( sitting here with a big shit eating grin on my face....ooohh yeah! )
I'm with you on this one. Been a tough season for a Kawi fan with Millsaps just clicking off laps, and Pro Circuit not showing much talent. Hopefully AC can make it a green summer outdoors to get PC back on track.

Tomac is a boss when he's on the gas, think he would fit the Kawi well with his aggression, kinda RV like.

so you think his results are because hes on a Honda???!?!? I think Tomac will be fast next year on a Kawi but only because of the lessons he learnt this year rather than the bike....everyone said Milsaps will be fast on the Kawi after the KTM and look what happened there....its NOT the bike!!!!!!!

If it wasn't for speculation, conjecture, & innuendo, all this place would be is one big pissing contest. I thought this was the place for discussing the rumors & leaks that emanate from the motocross world. What would you want to "wait" for? Obviously not to post your opinion.

The question is, "on which continent?". RV is out next year (maybe , hopefully not) and Tyler R. is well past his sell by date, so just maybe Eli is Kawasaki's ace in the hole for G,.P.s in 2016. Personally I LIKE this idea!

money talks then.....oh well I guess the rumours were correct lol I hope Tomac learns from his 2015 SX season and nails it for 2016....still a fan no matter what bike he is on
