Kenny's new deal is 2 years. 2028 would be the send off.

IIRC, that was for his current deal. So next year would be year two.

A little bit strange, because Roczen recently said that he still doesn't know if he wants to ride or not in 2027...

  Roczen has only signed 1 year deals since joining HEP - The new deal would be for 2 years (27 & 28) If he wants it.

On the Blair Matthes Podcast today I think they both hinted at Sexton is in talks with PMG Suzuki at the end…

yea I put the wrong time stamp before but on this pod around 23:00 they start talking barcia and pmg moves next year. specifically around the 26:05 mark they mention potential 4th rider signing soon. “2nd new rider” “they’d have 4 of the top 10 contenders". not saying it is for sure but genuinely who else could he be talking about other than sexton?

???

So you’re saying the guy that has never signed a two-year deal and is questioning whether or not he’s even going to race next year just signed a two-year deal? 

Roczen isn’t in a position of wanting or needing multi-year contracts. Here’s on the verge of retiring, the last thing he would want is a multi-year contract. I believe Steve’s statements were that he believes Roczen comes back next year because him/his agents pushed for a multi-year deal a year ago.

I fully think they shouldn't update it. Kenny got Starts and rode amazing all year long. There is nothing wrong with that bike. If they just added a well integrated estart and changed absolutely nothing else I think they would be in business. 

why not let each rider choose the reg version or E-start version they are comfortable on? Read they have a fully tested push button mod but KR didn't want it bc of the extra weight.

I heard something about Sexton going to Partzilla on a factory Yamaha with personal monster energy deal.

He posted this to Instagram earlier, so sadly, you could be right.

If any of the latest talk is true…

We could have an All SUZUKI podium this upcoming SX season.

Damn.

Think I’m goin’ to a few more races in ‘27 🤣

Chase is out at Kawi and Yam isn't interested either.

Apparently talking to a few teams.

Did I miss something? Or did the video not state Chase is staying at Kawasaki?

ML already gave us the answer. Connect the dots and Chase is staying at Kawi. Anybody still pushing he's leaving is just trying to stir the pot for whatever reason.
