I just watched One Lap of Red bud with Broc Tickle and he clearly stated that he rode for RCH, Soaring Eagle, Jimmy Johns..........

Clearly a sign that RCH is unhappy with Suzuki and changing brands. I see them changing to Husqvarna in the near future.

And why is it that you think RCH would go to Husky?

Roczen dumping RedBull. He was clearly not thirsty after the race and they made him drink it.

Throw some fuel on this one... This must be why KR is not concerned about a move from RCH/Suzuki to Honda because he wouldn't have been on a Suzuki if he stayed at RCH anyway Woohoo

I think you're on to something. Come to think of it, he never mentioned his wife and dog, either. They are obviously on the way out, too. Sad

None of these guys thank anyone. They ALL very clearly state "I can't thank my mechanic, girlfriend, pro circuit red bull Yamaha crew for all they've done for me."

I'm also curious as to why the earthquake in Japan had an effect on RCH's decision to switch brands. Care to elaborate?

He didn't thank Suzuki in an interview? That's better than a press release. Must be double top secret official.

Completely different. You're talking about outside sponsors and the Rockstar thing is even more rediculous than the Dodge thing. That shit doesn't matter. No way Suzuki pays RC while promoting another brand on his race team.

You keep your donge to yourself bro. But really RCs relationships probably have very little impact on the team cause hes not the one racing.

I don't see Suzuki sticking around with RC if he is promoting another brand on his team. Just my opinion. We shall see.

I don't know that they will or not. However I think what is best for the team will be put first IMO. They have a lot of other people involve than just him.

Honest question though, what does suzuki do for RC at this point? I was under the impression he wouldn't be losing much if he decided to put the team first.

The Honda (HRC) factory in Japan was greatly affected and they would not be able to cater to RCH or JS7 for more bikes/ parts for next year.
(Both RCH and JS7 were in talks with Honda)

My predictions:

Ricky will part ways from RCH

Chad Reed will join them and it will be come CRCH (pernounced /kräCH/) Chad Reed Carey Hart

They will be on Yamaha with Monster support.

Webb, Bogle, Reed will be the riders

...in all seriousness, sponsors like Jimmy John's won't sponsor RCH if they don't have a top tier rider like Roczen, Tomac, Barcia etc. They could pick up a guy like Bogle, Brayton, Baggett. Best bet they could try for James Stewart? At least for the publicity.

I'm wondering why RCH would (if it had a choice) dump Suzuki for another OEM? Kenny looks dialed on the bike, and so does Tickle. Heck, even Weimer looked damned good on it in the SX events he rode for them.

Like others have said, RC is tight with Suzuki...and I'd think he'd stay with them if he stayed on as partner with Hart in the whole team dealio.

the plant that was closed for a few weeks produces production motorcycles for Honda (not just CRF's - as per the link you posted)...it is NOT the HRC headquarters...and certainly not where the USA bikes (factory or satellite) get prepped

So that would have no bearing whatsoever on whether RCH of JS7 went with Honda (both of which I highly doubt anyway).

My guess would be that they want to be with an OEM who is advancing their racing effort, don't think it's really a secret that Suzuki doesn't put a lot of money into their motocross racing program.

Honestly though I have no idea.
