I was watching a video on the Nichols move to Suzuki and heard a rumor that Roczen is going to Star. Any one hear this from reputable sources?

Heard star was fielding an F1 team in 2026. 
 

hard to see how star could get roczen, Webb, and either Eli or Cooper (both?) on the same team. 
 

is roczens contract up after wsx?

Ducati and Triumph are Monster so they're out. Progressive ups the ante and Kenny rides off into the sunset on a yellow bike and bags some more wins in SX and MX before his exit in 2 years. 💛 

Also, Shane moves on and Chiz rides in a select few races. Another rider joins the team in addition to Colt. And no, it won't be Dylan. 🤔

It’s highly unlikely he’d give up his Red Bull sponsorship.

ok i bit and listened.  the video claims roczen was under the star yamaha tent recently.  well we can call BS before this rumor even gets off the ground because to my knowledge he hasnt been at any of the races since he was hurt.

And that photo of him on the Yamaha is from back when he tried out the Club bike for whatever reason, it's clearly got Luxon clamps which Star has never run.

Last year it was rumored that he had one year left on the contract and RB was OK letting him go early.

Star is car dealer anyway... 

IF Roczen to Star that means Webb or Tomac is not coming back next year.

My question is how the hell does STAR afford to have so many riders and team members? They are easily the biggest team in the paddock.

Tomac calling it a day especially after his recent injury , and leaving a hole for KR to fill wouldn’t shock me.

Except Tomac just signed for another year and surely still wants redemption in SX

That’s the craziest part. It’s Mx Update channel and in the description it says the person can’t talk and uses an AI voice emulator. Email suggests there name might be Kim caloli. Probably fake though. 
 

they did acknowledge the footage they had was from Ken’s test ride of the club bike.
