You may know Washougal is a special round because many factory teams signed their new riders. One of the biggest rumors is that AC go to GEICO Honda. Do you think that's possible? He have a great friendship with Roczen and training togheter.

according to Mitch at the first of the month, he wants to keep AC

Anything you can tell us on Savatgy and AC’s contracts for next year? You going to keep them, you going to let them go? AC going to retire, go to the GPs or anything?
No, we want to keep both of them. We’re good.

Give me a percent if you can on keeping them.
My percent? I want 100 percent.

How close you are to it.
We’re really close. We’re good.

80?
I think you’ll see both of them there next year. Then we got one spot, and that depends whether Hill wants to ride a 450 or if he wants to ride a 250 then he’ll stay here.

even though someone on here will predictably say "Nope. Signed with xyz 4 months ago", I think you've got a good idea and yes it's possible.

Seems like a 450 may suit him better considering he has grown so much (and the weight that comes with it). Maybe its just what the doctor ordered.

I thought the same thing a month or so ago but sources from podcasts suggest he's staying at PC

On yesterday's Moto 60 show he said he's trying to get another extension on his PC contract.

Well there you go. Heard the same thing about him staying on at PC from podcasts and good for him for being loyal. However, I would like to see a change of scenery for him.

What if he wins the 250 outdoor title? Would it still not be wise?

I think he stays on the 250 and finally wins a 250 sx title next year.

RC4 said recently he thinks Adam should go to Honda. Could easily happen if they don't keep Seely which is likely.

RC said he has no insider info BUT he knows Adam and KR94 very well, so...

UpTite (who is usually on the money) posted that he had signed with Kawasaki, so for Mitch to say he hasnt yet is interesting....perhaps Honda still has a chance if indeed they are pursuing him hard

UpTite isn't wrong, but it was supposed to be a done deal. Who knows now.
