Looks good but he would have to be on a Twisted bike unless they’re going to piss away those sponsorship dollars or restructure the team.

Roczen isn't on twisted because of red bull deal. Does Anderson have personal deal with monster or is that all through kawi?

They don't have Monster deals because their agent (at the time) played a stupid game and won.

Monster pulled back on personal deals to secure their deal with the UFC. Even Tomac lost his personal deal. It wasn't up to the athletes.

So tomac is not really a monster athlete except for star racing having them as a sponsor?

No. Tomac had a personal deal. I’m saying he, and the rest of the riders with personal deals (who were not under a contract for this year already) did not get renewed by Monster, due to them allocating towards their investment on partnering with the UFC long term.

Reed. When he knew he was out at L&M, he tested another bike. They found out and refused to pay him his last couple checks.  The rumor was it was around 200k.

Doubt we'll see proof until beginning of October or November when most contracts are announced.

There’s always one “proof” or “believe it when I see it” guy lol 

Just like there's always those who believe every "stamp it" post on Vital. Guess we'll know in October, huh?

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he followed Chase.

Edited to add: but that begs the question of what happens to Rango? Does he follow Anderson to HEP, or stay on at Kawi in a different role?
