I have 2 main event privateers looking for WSX rides. One 250, one 450.

I don’t understand the negativity around WSX. It’s giving more riders ways to make a living riding a dirtbike.

That's because you forgot how it was originally introduced and what its supposed goals were...

I believe I edited my post right around when you replied. I'm hoping it's more but going off articles i've seen the MX purse might only get a 200k increase compared to SX which got a 900k increase according to this article. That's really not so drastic for MX. Only around 18k a round.

Sounds like Webb is out at KTM and WSX is back on the table.

Wouldn't Webb race WSX on the KTM though? We're only a couple months away from the first race.

Where did Dustin state this? Lewis asked Roczen after his interview this weekend if he was doing WSX or Pro Motocross and he said Kenny stated he was 100% in for outdoors.

If true I would think teams would be tripping over each other to sign him . I understand contracts are already signed but in moto they're made to be broken 🙃

Apparently not. Tons of talk about him switching brands for WSX according to Matthes

Teams in WSX don't really have the financials to sign him. He'd race WSX for HEP.

Heard that this morning. He's only got a couple months to get it figured out. Should be interesting.

Just like last year, WSX teams won't pay the stars. SX global will, ignoring their own rules and principles.

Matthes stated this again on last nights show too. Pretty annoying of Ken to lie to the fans and bail on outdoors at the last second if true. Why not just be open about it, or at the very least say you’re undecided, rather than get people’s hopes up?

Weak. Dry

Have you heard the same yet?

You're assuming Matthes is right about this, and that Kenny lied. Instead of taking the actual riders word for it-which he literally said days ago that hes 100% in for outdoors-you're taking Matthes' rumor/assumption/whatever you want to call it. I like Pulp and matthes, and he usually has good info, but before we get upset about Kenny supposedly lying-bailing-whatever, lets wait until all the facts are in.

Hard to say what is going on behind the scenes, but it is possibly he just changed his mind.

Well once Ken won a main event in SX he was automatically qualified for the 3 race SMX finals. So he doesn't need the points from outdoors to qualify. Same for Webb. And Mathes said Webb gets paid nothing for racing outdoors as his contract was SX only. So maybe he uses this as a test of a different bike? 

Follow the money

I guess Kenny just started saying he was doing outdoors to get wsx worried. Now he can ask how much money he wants. And they will accept, they need a star to get stadiums sold out. Money talks, as alwalys.

Kenye doing WSX where he is the defending champion and the biggest star would appeal to him.

The 6 race series in pleasant, covered stadiums, with nice breaks between for sightseeing might appeal to everyone at HEP, not just the riders. The money saved side of it might be better as well and Suzuki could easily have decided it fitted their global needs nicely.
