rch without a top dog for '17? will rch need a big name to keep their sponsors happy?
He also has the potential to be a disaster. Just look at the last two years. Not a good move at the minute.

Canard to KTM is pretty solid. And Davi IS on BTO for 17

so rch is in trouble going from championship contender (maybe winner in couple weeks time) to 'nothing'?
If Jmart really falls apart .... Which I personally don't think he makes an impact the first year outdoors and defiantly not in SX so I would have been after someone else all along as I'm sure they are.

I think another year in 250sx will do jmart good and ill think he'll be strong outdoors next year in the 450 class. I can see him and webb hitting the podiums a few times and in the top 5, kinda like baggett last year. A-mart should land on a solid team and if i was PC id try and sign him. Its kind of shitty since he didnt do to well that star basically locked their riders up for next year and now that hes up there may try and add a spot for him. Im sure geico or pc would lime to have him.

I'm on the fence about him. He's had some decent results in the past few years and is a fan favorite, so he has some worth. But I think he's tapering off at this point. I like Peick and would like to see him stay, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was on a different bike next season...

Matthes also said that Kawasaki is looking to keep Grant on as the second rider to Tomac next year so where do you think Wilbur will go?

There are simply not enough seats for those that we feel deserve them. The 2nd tier but still high quality guys from the last couple of years are going to be pushed back further every year.

I hope that Will won't be left standing when the music stops & all the seats to solid rides are filled. I'm a fan, and he's a good dude...but the fact is that he hasn't been a huge return on investment for Kawasaki. Grant has much more potential, even though he's not as consistant, in my opinion.

I feel like Wil has a lot more to offer as far as race results go than he has been able to show lately. He was steadily improving this year before he got crashed into.

Problem is so many good dudes and not enough seats. There are gonna be some big names without a ride or at least a decent ride this year.
