Not  sure what color bike but he did work out a deal with Reubin Kincaid to pit out of the Partridge Family bus.

It’s all conjecture coming from “Prado is out at Kawi. A lot of money has been freed up. Tomac hasn’t confirmed KTM. Could he be going to Kawi?”

That’s the bulk of what’s known atm.

Many contracts don’t end till end  of October/ early November. That’s why.

Would love to see Tomac on a Suzuki with Roczen and Anderson, it would be the old dude's vs young bucks.

It has to be Facebook. Everytime the "DirtBikeLover" account spams Tomac to Kawi someone starts a post on it here about it. Why anyone would believe anything that account posts is beyond me. The only information they ever post thats accurate is when they just copy something from either here or Pulp.

I think it’s safe to say that if Cooksey is reporting it it’s most likely BS.

Marchbanks is the man getting the 2nd Kawasaki 450 ride. He’s the only choice.

I have no idea where ET will end up...probably KTM I guess. But, being on a Kawie just makes way more sense than going to KTM. But, either way, I hope he has the fire to win...A LOT.

Man, there’s just not enough riders available for 450 rides, when Kawi is giving the 8th place 250SX rider a full factory ride. (12th oa in SMX)

Either that or no one wants the Kawasaki, or the talent pool is so deep, or Parado’s quadrillion $ contract cancellation was so involved top tier riders have already signed deals with other teams. 

If only Kawasaki Japan could operate more like the American middle class family and put someone on a contract with their credit card before the Prado deal was completed.
