With the talk of Chase not taking up his 3rd year option with KTM, where could he go? Obviously HRC is out of the picture. Kawi? Star?

Wouldn’t it be awesome if Red Bull would fund him and put him on a Suzuki alongside Roczen?!
What a team!
I could see Kawasaki beside Prado, why not.
Why though? He's going to be fast regardless of the bike, just see it through and get the KTM to where you are truly comfortable instead of bailing and going to a new bike and having to learn all the intricacies all over again.
Kawasaki, replacing Anderson.

who is talking about it… please elaborate!
Unless KTM is planning to release an all new bike next year, he's definitely better off staying. Changing teams at this point is just putting him right back to square one trying to get the bike dialed in.
I’ll bet Ducati would toss many coins his way if available.
realistically Kawi may be his only other option, i think he stays with KTM
Honda Full, Star Yamaha Full, Cant see him going Suzuki, Triumph or Ducati,
Sexton ain't going anywhere. He will utilize his 3rd year option with KTM
Any more meltdowns, he'll end up in the asylum
Not AMA Champion, same as this year!
Don’t know if anyone can say that Star Yamaha is full. Could be possible with Eli having one foot out the door and Justin is probably getting sick of the 1 year deals and wants to get paid.
J. Coop said he’s not chasing money but the best bike/team he can get earlier this week on Pulp.
Thought triumph initially, until I remembered rc ripping on him all too often. Kawi would be a great fit if they had the $$$
Id see him, right where he is, cause if KTM doesnt want to show a blemish in the armour, they wont let him go.
kawi has the money, theres no question about it
Team dynamics this upcoming season are in total flux, with KTM/GasGas/Husky likely downsizing and Triumph/Ducati entering the 450 class. Could be very interesting. The big question to me is Triumph or Ducati hiring two riders a piece? As far as Chase, obviously a great rider, but a shitty PR move, I cannot recall him not complaining about or blaming the bike for his having a poor result.
Pit Row
Pretty sure he's just racing for something to do at this point, aren't his in-laws billionaires?
He would be faster on a Japanese bike, but even on the KTM speed isn't a problem.
Star will have 4 450 riders...
Deegan
Cooper
Webb
Tomac
Why would he switch, he has never looked better on the KTM
On the ground...
stuck in the gate is another possibility 🤣
switching teams/bikes worked pretty good for Tomac going from Kawi to Yamaha.
With Webb and Eli racing again more than likely his option of Eli going away and going blue went bye bye for another year. Excercise your 3rd year and then wait for the seats to open up and play the musical chair game
Worked for RC going Kawi to Honda and then Suzuki as well. I believe it worked for MC back in the day going Yamaha from Honda
He will stay at KTM.
If Deegan is smart he will race 250SX again next year. If he wants to jump up to the 450 for MX in '26, fine, but he has proven that he still needs another year of 250SX. He isn't ready to race 450SX yet.
I think his real options are Ducati and Kawi. Ducati definitely has the money, but its an unproven bike and questionable reliability at this point. AND its very apparent Chase can't set up a chassis without a good base setting. At Ducati they'd all be blind as to where to start looking. Although the Ducati is basically a Honda chassis. Maybe he can get it to work without tucking the front.
