I noticed Roczen running renthal and Shane Mcelrath has Mika. Is that a personal sponsor for Ken?

Edit - I stand to be corrected but I read somewhere that Brandon Haas said that they have different sponsors onboard. Three title sponsors and then a few different ones between the 250 and 450 program to cater for Roczens needs. 

 

ML or Mav may be able to explain better. I'm trying to find the interview.

The team switched to Renthal handlebars and Pro Circuit pipes, so was that something that Kenny led on? I am certain that Renthal was – that is what he has been comfortable with. Talk about those technical changes.

Renthal was definitely a Ken thing. The Progressive side, PMG, will be Renthal and the Twisted Tea side will keep the same Mika Metals sponsorship as this year. We have a really, really great relationship there. They have supported the team since the very start. We'll be co-branded between the different rigs, I guess. That is something new. We were making the switch to Pro Circuit anyway, regardless of Ken. Mitch [Payton] and the guys there… I think that there are some things in the works for them to do a little more with the brand. That is the direction that we were going in regardless. It is pretty neat to see a PC pipe on a yellow bike. It is something new!

Thanks Mav! 
 

that’s makes more sense. Will roczen be the only 450 on the progressive rig? Chiz also has Mika.

Yes, just Roczen on a 450 under that rig with 250s.

On the plus side, I’ve seen you post some stuff recently with memories going way back for you, so that’s a plus Laughing
