Chase on yellow - Lord willing!
I suspect this is horseshit. But if it is real, I don't think Kenny would be stoked - even though they're friends. He knows Chase (and his dad) are trouble makers.
Why any team would bother with the guy at this point is crazy....
the craziest outcome is the most likely...he stays green!
Like Gajser with Yamaha...

He literally said it’s speculation. He is just talking what he thinks would make sense. It does seem like it would.
I can’t see Chase and Dan both working for Kawasaki next year. So it will be interesting to see what happens.
From what I can remember from the Blair / Matthes show about 250 team adds.
PC: Thrasher and most likely Romano stays
PHX: Swoll, Oldenburg, Long and possibly Keefer for SMX NXT and outdoors again next year
MX6: Cullin Park and maybe Temmerman. May start to act as feeder program to PC
Beta: Derek Kelley
Quad Lock: Mcadoo and possibly Connelly
Star: Rumor Cochran may go there
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if HEP would even consider signing Chase if his Dad was part of the package...because Roczen is smart enough to know how toxic that relationship would be to the team, and his own program.
Beta is going to have two 250 riders, one east and one west for SX. DK is one, I am begging them not to sign Masterpool as the other 🥴
I see Chase staying Kawasaki next year and Dan gone. Kawasaki can’t afford to lose two high end riders back to back.
Cochran to Star is a done deal I believe.
PHX stuff is all accurate.
Mx6: Park and Temmerman incoming, Kelley and Weltin out, Miller likely staying. They're trying to hire one more.
Quad Lock 250 is McAdoo and Connolly.
Thanks for the confirmation!
Any definitive word on if Romano will be on PC next year?
The Kawi chassis is supposedly new. Is there any possibility Sexton could ride it before needing to make a decision? No idea when the bike could be available or when he will be back to riding. I say that while wondering whether the relationship with the team is bad enough that the bike doesn't matter at this point.
I would think Chase would need to make a decision before he is healthy enough to ride. To me, all the changes announced so far, Kawasaki could have done this year. No frame changes announced yet.
Benny signed a 2 year extension with Beta!
Masterpool is already on Team Branch Davidian. They're Waco based...
When's the last time Factory Kawasaki ran 3 factory riders?
00 or 01?
Pit Row
Remember 1992... Four factory riders in 250cc category: Kiedrowski, Ward (Jeff), LaRocco and Matiasevich. Good old days...
2000. RC, Ward, Dowd.
2001. RC and Roncada.
Been a longtime, so I guess never say never.
McElrath beta
Wonder who all is going to Tedder staffing wise for Webb n hill. Pulp made it sound like someone they didnt expect is going with Webb.
New mechanic for deegan next year.
Why would Deegan and Duffe part ways?
There's been a rumor floating around that Duffe might be moving on from being a race mechanic.
@ML512 Will Oldenburg stay 450 at PHX? And will DK be on a 250 or 450 @ Beta?
Thanks!
Any truths to several staff leaving Star?
Jett Reynolds is completely healed up for the first time in years and has moved to SoCal and is now training with Joe Cantaleri ( Im sure i spelled that wrong) who has been training a lot of the top 250 riders lately Ryder D Joe Shimoda etc..... I think Jett deserves another chance ,maybe the M6 team picks him up on a one year deal..
Apparently Tickle is testing the ‘27 now. I guess the question is how much trust Chase will have in Tickle’s opinion on whether the ‘27 addresses his concerns.
I know this isn’t exactly silly season but has anyone heard if rockstar energy will still be supporting a team next year?
DK 250, there will be no 450s at Phoenix next year.
