Sorry this is no JS7 topic. I really do apologise.

If a team would change bike manufacturer, would it be announced at the same time as new riders (they have to wait till the current contract is finished) or can it be made public much earlier?

Still wondering about the rumors that we could see a change of bike colours at rch and jgr.

Considering RC is a owner of RCH. And is embedded in with Suzuki I think it's only logical to see them on lifans

Money talks. Not saying what you feel doesnt hold any truth, but when push comes to shove, budgets take precidence. If another manufacturer ponied up a better deal, the switch will be made.

The contract dates are fairly similar to the rider's... It wouldn't be announced until the previous contract is up.

So Honda are going to be supplying bikes to RCH. Also to JS7 and Mookie . They are going to sign febvre . They have already signed KROC and Tim Gajser on 5 year deals also !!!!!!!!!! . Sorry but there is no way in hell they can afford all that . 6 factrory bikes in the US . With the highest payed rider in the sport . Plus the only way they ll get Febvre is by making him the highest payed in MXGP along with Gajser . Somethings got to give .,and imo the two thing s that are nt on the table are RCH and the js7 thing . Plus the only way i see honda at RCH is if Ricky walks . It would be the last brand i could see him working with again

...1st, I didn't say they would...
...you said they couldn't afford it...

....Honda is the sleeping giant right now in SX/MX....
...if they got a fire lit under their hinney and went at it like they did in the 70s to mid 80s...
..this would be less than half of the riders on Hondas current roster...
...Dungey...
...KRoc...
...Tomac...

RCH signes Savatgy and are going green if they change from yellow. Mookie signs with Factory Yamaha so they have 3 riders indoors and 2 outdoors. JGR stays blue.
