I think its happening, heard he declined club mx because he wants to stay on the west coast. Not sure if its a multi year deal, but there will be an all new RMZ in '27. Suzuki wanted to focus on the street bikes for '26, that's why we only saw minor changes on the RMZ for '26.

yeah it was so so surprising to see such minor changes for 26 rmz models thanks for clearing that up I always wondered

Declined the ride from the facility he frequents because he wants to stay on the West Coast? That doesn't seem to make sense. But I hope the new RMZ rumors are true.

Could be the case with the rumored marital issues. With his kiddo, he would want to be by her no matter what.

His thyroid is out of wack that blows your body up.  How much wt did he gain ? 40 lbs. he needs to get that fixed 1st.  He’s said factory bike only so I think it’s career over.

I thought Club was a no go because he would have to wear FXR and FXR has already ponied up some money for Malcom so the money wouldn’t be right for him there. At HEP he can probably keep his gear money and they’re the “factory” Suzuki team so maybe Suzuki looks in one of their bins in Japan and pulls out a old factory transmission for him lol

I believe it was said a couple months ago that he’ll be racing WSX with HEP since Roczen is no longer doing the full series. If that’s the case, I’m assuming that means he’ll be with them next year full time.

Roczen is no longer doing the full WSX series or the AMA sx ?

Roczen isn’t racing the full WSX series. He’ll just race as a wildcard. He’s racing in 2026 with HEP for AMA SX and SMX.

Man, I’ve been thumping the Anderson to HEP in other threads with little support or agreement. 

If Jason can get healthy, I think it is a great fit. 

More Suzuki’s on the gate, the better!

A new model makeover would be shocking at this rate. 

But the team has a well developed bike at this point so he's not hoping onto a turd at least

Any word on Colt Nichols in 26 ? Can't believe yesterday was his best results on a 450! outdoors.

This is also from a couple months ago but at that time I think he had an offer from HEP but hadn’t committed to it yet. I think he would be stupid not to take it.

I definitely thought Colt45 would’ve had a better year than he has had that’s for sure. I thought he’d consistently be in that 8-12th range or around Savatgy and McElrath this year on that bike. Kenny, Anderson, and Colt would be a great team if you look at HEP as a whole back in 2018-2021 years.

Anderson needs a one year performance based deal. Give him a multiple year deal he will milk it just like he has at kawi, pull out of the series then come back just before his salary gets cut for missing races

I have been wrong about Colt 45 for several years now.  I thought he would do much much better than he's done on the HRC, Beta, and Zook.  I guess he just never recovered after breaking both arms in the whoops at A1.  I really thought he would be able to run top 5 in 450's once he got back up to speed, but it just never happened.

What were they focusing on in ‘19-‘25?😂

Yup same, I gave him a mulligan with the Beta, but Oldenburg and Bloss were making that bike look pretty damn good this year so I think this just might be where he’s at. Maybe he can turn it around like McElrath did this year.

I spoke with him in Anaheim and he told me he was loving the Beta.  I'm not sure what happened there but he didn't do well on it.  Now he's on a very capable Zook and seems to be a 15th place guy.

I think you may have meant to say ‘37 instead of ‘27…….!

Thought that Anderson and Roczen were not the best of buddies. I suppose they don't have to hang out together. Would be interesting team dynamics....

I’ve read in another thread that there’s rumours of Vlaanderen going to HEP Suzuki, that might only be for outdoors. Don’t think his interested to do SX.
