Why does Chase pay his own way to an event? And why does the team he's representing, not know in advance he was planning on attending? Wouldn't his team, who's tent he is under signing autographs, be alerted in advance and book everything for him?

The above is all rhetoric. And to be honest, another unprofessional move by Chase. 

Maybe "we should ask the team what happened"?

ts implied chase is talking with other teams and finding a way out of the contract to get on another team.

Pulp review pod said kawasaki didn't know sexton was coming to Millville, he bought a ticket and showed up. Couple of comments about if you're looking for a ride you go to where the teams are, implied weege had some info about who he was talking to, Steve said chances he's on kawasaki at A1 went from 50% to 5% this weekend. Chase said in interview it was insulting to suggest he'd be on support team. Did long interviews with Steve and Lewis and was clear in both that this topic was otherwise off limits. Chase said he was there with his agent. Was a comment from the agent standing in the background during one of the interviews about him being under contract and everyone nervously laughed..... 

Star probably has their lawyers looking for the holes in his contract already. Might as well start working on the PR.

I saw a video of him at an autograph table sitting next to I believe Marchbanks and other Kawasaki riders signing autographs. If Kawasaki didn't know he was coming, why would they bring those stupid autograph flyers for him to sign or arrange his seating? Not saying it didn't happen but seems so weird.

I doubt they threw them all away after his crash or made a special trip back to HQ to drop them off. I'm sure there was a box full in the truck.

I'm guessing the posters sit there every week for fans to take. I doubt it was total surprise on Saturday that he showed up. I took it more as him being there wasn't in the plans.

I think some of the riders pay their own way to every race whether they’re riding or not. They’re independent contractors so they probably just handle that stuff. You think the teams are paying directly for Deegs private jet?

Tell me which rider would be willing to sign for Kawasaki and win a title before Chase the next 5 years (lets assume that Chase has 5 more years in him)?

Yeah, I think you’re right. I’m currently leading the vet 30 championship points in my local series so it’s looking good.

None and that’s kind of the joke right? I just don’t think he’s got the mentals to get it together ever again.

Not sure if I missed it mentioned in here, but Matthes mentioned today that Thrasher appears to be headed to PC Kawasaki.

Thrasher to PC sounds like a continuation of the exact same kind of riders (and problems) Mitch has had for the last many years.

If this is the case we shall see the following sequence of events:

  • Sexton says the bike is amazing, best he's ever ridden etc.
  • Crashes in SX (most likely through tucking the front)
  • Starts publicaly saying he's working on the bike
  • Rumours out of the pits that Sexton is not happy with the bike
  • Serious 'personality clashes' between Sexton and those at Star
  • Blazing rows between Sexton's dad and the team - especially Bobby
  • Outdoors starts: crashes out early - 'banged up'
  • Starts enquiring through back channels for any potential new rides
  • Leaves the team...

     

You forgot:

-His "teammate" Deegan saws his front wheel off and steals the remainder of his aura. 
-Keir and Daddy Deegs get into it in the pits and Keir takes his boy out to his own EZUP JMart style.

Adams, Hammaker, Kitchen and likely Thrasher.  I hope Mitch makes a spot for Romano.

Did anyone see Masterpool back on bike. Im assuming 3.outdoors and smx as a wildcard. Be interested to see if a 250 team picks him up.

Why would anyone pick him up? Not being a dick but he's not worth the effort at this point

Bam has never screamed “Red Bull guy” to me. If he goes HEP, I’d bet we see him in full TLD with some insane custom Twisted Tea lids. 

HEP has a deal with twisted tea, they are already in a difficult place with the Jason Anderson Monster Energy deal because Monster has stormed the liquor stores and is there in the same place as twisted tea...

Yeah Ty is done. Idk what his deal was with Gizmo but I think that was probably the final nail.

Exactly. There is a contingent on here that have a hog-on for Mitch and can't see that perhaps his decisions are impacting the underperformance of his team. It's a loooooong time ago now that PC was a major force in 250 SX and moto. 

Thrasher is done. Hire someone new.

He's riding for Team Branch Davidian...

No other team would touch Crazy Ty with a 1000-foot bargepole.
