He’s already signed a deal for next year. Doesn’t want to push for no reason in a championship he doesn’t have a chance to win anymore unless it goes crazy for #2. He’s just fulfilling sponsorship obligations and waiting to try and win a 3rd outdoor title. IMO he’s on a Honda for 2020. Cianciarulo slides up and Savatgy stays at Kawi til Forkner is ready. All Speculation.

Where does Kenny go? JGR? (Fingers crossed).

Kenny loves the Suzuki, Tomac rides like a god on Honda... it has to happen. Kennys career has been a disaster on the Honda -remember even at MEC (his 3rd time on the bike) he went *1, ejection seat while leading, *1. He would have won the million. Then 3 races later ejection seat #2 straight into compartment syndrome, career on hold for the next 1.5 years. Then FINALLY comes back and his one good arm gets wood chippered by a yamaha.

JGR has to make the worst personnel moves of all time for a factory team. We have 15 top 5 capable riders in the class right now, yet JGR signs two 10-15 place guys. Even on the 250s they bombed. Im from Boston so Im obviously a Decotis fan, but come on hes up against AC92 and AF24... JGR needs to pull the trigger and sign KROC... period. Throw a mound of money at him, but they gotta quit screwin around. Those bikes can rip holeshots too just the thing he needs, look at Webb, holeshots up your chances ten fold.
JGR doesn’t even have a title sponsor, therefore no Tomac or KRoc money. Kenny and Eli both stay where they are next year

marv back paying him you goons, checks get wrote under the table around here every rider is part of the SHOW some get paid more than others but still its a SHOW, to keep the fans interested, you want pure real racing go watch mxgo. American racing is politics as it always has been did you not get that from supercross the movie when old dude signed up with nami. get real politics is there to keep fans interested to come back next week to see whats gonna happen.


CHECKs get wrote under the table. Just like in the real world.

Ken doesn’t have to leave HRC for Eli to be there. They respect each other. I think it would be the best thing for both of them. Just my opinion. Also think it would be best for Cianciarulo and Savatgy to be 1a and b for a year and Kawi can pick from them and Forkner who is another Kawi (almost) lifer to be their future. Which I think has already happened. Why pay Tomac when he’s done what he’s going to do for you when you could potentially sign both of your best 250 riders that you groomed since superminis and before?

True. I guess Eli/Ken is no different than Marv and Webb at KTM. Eli is a whole different ANIMAL on Honda. Id love to see him return home, and hes a Honda guy, they groomed him why not get a return on your investment? They could at least get an MX title. When is their last championship Mookie on 250?

Then talking about return on investments it makes perfect sense for AC to move up to 450 with Savatgy, then Forkner.

I think it would be cool to see young guns at Kawi against Ken and Eli / healthy Osborne and Anderson /Webb and Marv. Gives everyone but Blue and Yellow 2 strong potential race winners.

The scenario I have presented is just the most logical to me unless Eli does actually like the kawi and they want to retain him. Then AC to Honda and the rest will fall into play when Forkner moves.

Eli Tomac is broken. Either physically or mentally…he just seems broken. Remember that he is in the ninth year of his pro career and that a number of top level pros have retired after year 10. He may very well just be over it.

Did he just go thru a breakup? Something is messing with his mind for sure. No way is this the same guy from last year.

When they were showing lap times he was more than a half second faster then everybody in front of him. Then he caught bogle and shut er down. Very odd.

My speculation... that pre-season injury is causing arm pump. No 3-peat outdoors if he can't hold on for a full SX race. Sad

Don’t understand Tomac, dude just gives up. Guy has won around 20 SX races over the last 3 years and no title. Just don’t understand him. Worse year yet on Kawasaki. Is it the bike or is he hurt?

Neither Ken or Eli would Put themselves in a situation where they would be 1a 1b. These guys egos just wouldn’t allow it not to mention even HRC isn’t going to pay multi million dollars for two riders that’s just not how the teams are structured. Either AC goes to ride with Ken at Honda (likely) or Joey will. No way Kawi dumps ET no matter this weird season so far.

I'd say it's unpurpose at this point. You just don't go from a complete beast last year to these kind of performances.

Unless he's already got a deal signed with Honda for next year, he's really f***ig himself in negotiations.

This gen Honda is MUCH different than when Eli was last on it. So to say he would dominate if ONLY he was on a Honda is a stretch. Eli switching bikes would prab be a huge mistake for him. Look at history for how long it takes for him to get comfortable on a bike and find his “speed and comfort”

JS7's take on Elito Mac was pretty funny...

It's tough to be a #3 fan right now...if something is wrong, he does himself no favors letting speculation run wild...

He so laid up with bogle. To me it seemed like he was trying to show he was trying but was laying up and trying to hide it. He had to slow down a few times not to pass bogle because even a slow Tomac was faster than bogle.
