On one hand I would like to see if it breathed new life into Cooper to finish his career.

On the other hand. I would hate to see him leave KTM because of the success they have brought him, the incredible effort they have put into that race team, and the opportunities available to him after racing.

Just my opinion from the rumor mill so take it for what you want 

- Webb/Tomac star

- Chase/AP KTM

-Not sure if DF to HEP, HEP has talked to yamaha about switching 

- Club switching brands

Is Vohland to Star still a thing? I could have sworn someone within the last week said it sounded like that deal wasn't happening anymore.

As of now yes, it's still on. Current contract obligations always hold common knowledge back. 

Word always leaks out....but hey, it gives us couch-munchers something to chew in while we wait for Red Bud.

Also "the Tomac is in for next year" is 100% correct. He ain't done yet and I for one will appreciate a last season for Eli to retire on a High.

Did everyone forget Coop held the red plate in SX this year at one point until that freak crash?

Webb is definitely taking Dylan's spot at Star.  I wouldn't be too worried about Dylan though.

Translation: “Everyone who disagrees with me is wrong. It can’t possibly be my shit take. “

Ferrandis doesn’t care for the Yamaha anymore and he’s a whiner, but Webb doesn’t care for the KTM anymore and he’s moving back to the top after he switches teams? Get the hell outta here with this goofiness.

It’s not the differing opinions, it’s the complaint about downvotes and then calling people leg humpers im guessing.

It’s hard to detect sarcasm while reading text on the internet. This place cracks me up, people whine and complain but if we were ever all together at a race or in someone’s garage drinking beers it would be nothing but love haha

DF to HEP and they are riding Yamahas? If he doesnt like Yamaha why would he go another team with Yamaha? 

What brand Club is going?

Hey, I think it's funny. Pussies hiding is their opinions. If you can see the thumbs ups, you should be able to see the thumbs downs.

I had to re-read that someone was actually suggesting df to yellow.. I definitely can't see that happening..

Would df ever bail to GP's?

I dont know if DF is going to Hep or not. I know Hep has talked to yamaha but neither DF or the switch are close to confirmed. I imagine Hep will need to sort out the brand situation before DF signs. 

 

Not sure where Club is going TBH. Ive heard an Austrian brand but not sure if its true.

Plesinger has been looking faster . Got closer to winning an SX this year than he ever has before.

He has been on the ground at least once a moto more than not (almost seems like every moto).  I am a total Plessinger fan, always have been, but he looks like a spider monkey on his bike, he has had to change his style quite a bit (IMO).  He looks like he is working his ass off to go fast and sure seems to be making big mistakes a lot.

Might just be me, but that is how I see it.  Hopefully his adjustments and bike adjustments keep him progressing foward.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, until that opinion is not your opinion. This explains your infatuation with caring about up and down votes.

On one hand I would like to see if it breathed new life into Cooper to finish his career.

On the other hand. I would hate to see him leave KTM because of the success they have brought him, the incredible effort they have put into that race team, and the opportunities available to him after racing. 

Opportunities for Webb at KTM after KTM? I don't recall them being a good post-career team.
