Probably the most likely as destination for Chase, the bigger question is will Kawi let him go?  Will they let go two title contender riders from 3 year contracts in the space of two consecutive years?

And the other question, who will they hire instead?

I’d rather my guy throw his helmet then ghost ride the bike into the damn pits lol you serious? Rango has to fix the bars, levers, and check on whatever else over him just grabbing a different helmet out of his bag, cmon now

Personally, you shouldn’t do either. But you can’t be serious and say it’s better because Rango has to change a pair of bars and levers as opposed to alpinestars having to replace a helmet. You think it’s ok to disrespect one and not the other?  Get lost with that. Go in your hauler a punch yourself else in the leg over destroying someone else’s work. As a person that sponsors many teams around the world with product, I would be pissed if I saw a rider do it to my product, idc if I just give him seat cover and graphics.

Yaa you shouldn’t do either but yaa I’m way serious in throwing your helmet over a bike lol are you serious? You’re the step up champ Ronnie Renner right? It’s wayyyy better to swap the helmet and have media saying he threw a helmet in frustration over ghost riding a bike. Ghost riding a bike after a bad moto means “fuck this bike” to me. Throwing your helmet after the moto tells me you’re pissed about your moto and frustrated. No one will think twice and think alpinestars makes shit products because he threw a helmet. Him ghost riding his bike tells me he hates the bike and is over it. Very very different. If im Maxima and he launches my chain lube, I could give 2 shits, if I’m Kawi and he ghost rides my bike, I’m fining you’re ass. So get lost with that 

No, that’s not me. 

And again, it’s ok to disrespect one brand and not the other? Nah, not ok. You think maxima is ok with someone throws a can of their chain lube in the ground in a hissy fit? Nah they aren’t going to be ok with that. Alpinestars isn’t going to be cool with him snapping a helmet. All of it cost money from someone, why do you think it’s ok for one company to have to suffer and not the other? If you have an issue with YOUR ride, you go be a child in your own camper behind the rig and start tearing up your couch you paid for. DO NOT disrespect the products that are given to you.

I don't think it's a big question at all. 

It's just not sustainable to continue a relationship that is heading to the abyss like it is with Chase and the team. Nobody is a winner in a scenario where Chase is "forced" to stay, everybody would be miserable and Kawasaki would be wasting millions of dollars in salary expenses.

They will part ways like with Prado. It's the least shitty outcome out of many shitty outcomes (i assume nobody thinks they can turn this around anymore).

It's a rumor that started on VitalMX, noone has any reasoning or evidence to suggest it is real life.

Far from it. Kiers has been an issue since the am  geico days and before but when your winning its tolerated more. I know way to many first hand accounts over the last 10 years. An theres some wild stories to coming from guys in the teams. One of those guys use to live with me.

 Chase is a good guy always been cool to bullshit with same wit  kiers. Nice guy. Need to seperate personal from professional though. Let me be clear if you think his lil petty temper tantrum selling the ktm kyb suspension publicly was the worst of it your far off. He a more tolerable Tony Alessi with less bike knowledge. Chase would benefit from getting away from his dad at this point. It might not fix everything but I think a fresh start would do him good. But it will never happen and we saw that writing on the wall in his amateur days.

If I’m Kawi I’m not letting Chase out of the deal yet. I’d clean out upper management of the race team and try again. They need new voices and a different approach. 

We’ve seen two elite riders be nowhere near their capabilities and consistency. Fool me once.. fool me twice.


Yes Garrett is doing well, right around where he was on the club 450. I don’t put much weight in what he’s doing comparatively.

If we’re that concerned about A-Star & Maxima…well…again…ghost-ride that factory bike INTO THE TEAM PITS…

Fired.

It’s that simple at this level.

I believe that if there's smoke there's probably fire there, but your explanation is typical of what we get every time this comes up. No examples or details at all to help us understand what the issues actually are.

From the sounds of it, it was more of a drop then a ghost ride. 

Still immature as fuck and the team should fine him perhaps, but firing is a bit far. 

Kawi is obviously a mess starting at the top. They’ll repeat the same thing with the next top tier rider if the same decision makers are in place.

Often people get the reputation of being "hard to work with" when they hold under performers accountable.

You’re also 100% an over-performer at backpedaling and not deleting your account like you said you would.

But they never seem to make any progress. You can change a hundred different things but if you don’t get the combination of those changes correct you won’t get anywhere.

 If I said that it should be easy to find, so why can't you share it with me?

If you're trying to make a joke or insult, atleast make it a little funny.

Sounds like our guy Garret wasn't having any of it. Could you guys imagine what Phil would have done if he was in Marchbanks spot? 😃

I doubt Star is wanting to deal with Sexton. If they sign him then its gonna be a result heavy bonus with a low wage.

Maybe he just washed the front turning into the awning and got whisky throttle. Quite plausible.
