WTF does all this roczen crap have to do with Chase Sexton and KTM?
I’m not sure KTM needs a headache like KR and his wacky agent
Just when you think, nothing crazier could be added to this dumpster fire of a thread, the rape comparison pops up. I will admit it, I did not see that coming. I underestimated the bat shit craziness of vital. My New Year’s resolution, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE Vital. 👍
I would say it is interesting and needs actual attention and questions via media. My personal .02, Better proteins, vitamins, etc that he can take during the off season, and take the stuff that isn’t banned during the season.
Then again, it could be some dank jank shit lol. We will never know the truth and if I were in his shoes and would play it just the way it was played.

Anyhow I like ken, even I thought I've thrown him under the bus with speculation. Maybe it's just & only his crap manager. Overprotective, stressed etc. After such a complicated arm injury, certain drugs are sometimes suggested honestly to aid recovery. Whether at the time legal, Therapeutic or outright banned substances. From videos I've seen, it certainly looks like he trains hard. Supplements. Pills. Injections. Whatev. His manager maybe by default just assumes wrong and protects his client from stuff he rightfully and legally had been on in 2017~18. I'm of the opinion that KR is prob clean. And don't really care if he isn't. I also think whoever runs the shows in the US told American Honda not to support an overseas run upstart series. Ken wanted a holiday and Honda took one too.
I think Roger thinks Ken is simply too old.
He's younger than Marvin...
Age is number. Marvin never has had the intensity or workload of KR. They are retiring Marv. I've boiled it down to a one sentence opinion. It's obviously always more than this. With history taken into account. I think the big brand cougars want young blood. Sexton to KTM , Lawrence to HRC.
Uum somewhat.. It is an interesting topic that the riders 'have to' take certain drugs to be 'normal' in the off season, but the way it was brought up was Kenny is a drug cheat!
"Hey hey I'm not saying Kenny is a drug cheat but Kenny behaved in a way that would suggest he's definitely a drug cheat, why would he behave in a way that proves he's a drug cheat? I'm not saying that I'm just asking the question" (While heavily suggesting he's a drug cheat..) Seems like Ping is taking a page from a certain Fox 'news' anchor
"What if I told you a professional SX rider refused a drug test? What if that rider was well known for having medical problems? What if that rider had just lost a prominent Factory ride because he refused a drug test? Does that sound like something a clean athlete would do? I'm not saying that, I'm just asking the questions"
That's what I figured , that it took a while to get results. In the past its been a long time. Like 6 months or so. I didn't know if there was some faster test now or a quick test and then the lab double checks it. Somebody must have read that they said the pills were ok and assumed the test was too? Or maybe I misread one of the posts. I thought I saw a post that somebody said he passed. But I was skimming to see if I could find out if it was worth listening to the interview. I agree it looks suspect without knowing more. It just seems like a bad deal all around. I'll give the interview a listen . It just sounds crazy that at the level they are at , with all the money on the line that his agent would have not read the rules and knew the possibility of testing.
No, they offered him a contract (which excluded WSX not FIM). He turned it down because he wanted to ride WSX. Given they allowed his normal race mechanic to help him for WSX then they did help him a little bit, but certainly they were not obligated to.
They offered to reneg. The wsx,fim,bxt,lbt alphabet 2 race series support was agreed to last year. Then honda policymakers back out due to insecurities. Leave him stranded. Hasn't been home in years. The egg is on them. They knew chase was leaving. As for his mechanic, a personal friendship. Ken paid his exspenses. Heck. 2 races. Here's the/a bike. 3 people. Tickets. Go enjoy. Nope. Corporate Honda. They point blank played politics. The offer they gave was turncoat. You can listen to whatever they proposed after the meltdown.
Soggy's assertion that, 'have you never said no to your wife and then did it anyway?' somehow negates the initial refusal and the analogy to rape may be crude but, it's accurate. Ping's reporting of the incident was accurate as well. The absence of any apologies to Ping is telling as to the general lack of character on display here. Keep spinning....
Any chance we can change the name of this thread to something like: Kenny and the Test (my salute to Elton John retiring if it was over your head lol)? Really anything that didn’t allude to Sexton would be fine with me. I keep checking in every couple of days for any new info on the Sexton to KTM subject and it’s just more of the same middle school so and so said such and such and called somebody a liar dramafest.
take an aspirin and have a lie down
Thanks, I should.
Would not be surprised if ‘the injuries’, recovery, lasting effects have aged his body a lot more.
Pity as I was rooting for ‘the kid’ to have a great career when he moved to USA
I thought about typing out the stutter like in the song, but then I thought better of typing out 3 of the first letter in Kenny's name. This thread has taken enough turns.

Did a mod finally click this gem?
This thread continues to deliver.
Everything but news on Sexton 🤦
I can tell you now Sexton will be required to train at Aldons as part of the deal.
Just when you think the level of intelligent communication is on the uptick here...
Edit
Nothing official will come out until his current contract is over, so probably October 2023. Who knows if it is locked in yet anyway or just rumors.
Edited.
Not sure if delete a working

I was laughed at:

So uh, has Chase signed with KTM or not?
