They might have extended his contract when he was expected to race MXoN.

They probably want photos of him riding, and he ain't riding yet.

I believe Lewis said on the review pod it’s being officially announced on October 16th

They will offset the announcement with Anderson to make sure it gets the eyeballs. Kawi is going to push Chase media hard after Prado

Eli hasn't announced either that I'm aware of. Could be that his Star contract still has a little bit to run until it's over.

Youre right... Kawi only has that one ECU. Better send a uber and some muscle to pick it up or Chase's season is OVER. 

 

Did you read that before hitting send or nah?

Yup. He also said the Prado/Kawi contract break is a done deal.

They are making the Prado announcement on the 16th so I would expect the Chase announcement either then or at a later date.

You know… I never was a chase fan. Then he started to grow on me as a fan a couple years ago but  Lately Ive waffled back to not. If he rides out on a new kx 2 stroker I might change my mind again!

It’s an older reference/joke to the rumor of Stew not racing because he couldn’t get a factory ECU for his (I think) Suzuki at the time.

He was going to do an Era’s video on a KTM 150 with Carson Brown right after SMX but his crash prevented that from happening.

So instead of Chase, now we get Kenny and Carson on an old RCH RM250...

Chase has yard sailed it on every brand he ever rode.  Hope he can stop his trend on the Kawi.

I'm not sure what one is better lol. Would have been cool to see someone like Chase rip a 2 stroke around. However, how can you complain about Roczen being on one.
