Has anyone thought to just ask chase what his plans are? 

That would make waaaayyyy too much sense.

So basically...

Chase has 2 more years on his deal.

Chase is looking at other options. 

Star no longer interested.

Possibility of KTM or HEP Suzuki.

Chase and Kawasaki have to come to a mutual agreement to end their relationship(Per ML in his video from last week)

We don't know that Kawasaki will let that happen a second time.

We have no idea whether Chase will actually be leaving Kawasaki or not. Or whether Kawasaki will even let him. 

Everything right now is speculation until there is official word from either Chase or Kawasaki. So we can only assume that as of right now, Chase will be with Kawasaki for 2027 unless we finally get something official saying they split.

With Sasha Coenen not riding SX and Lucas most likely 250 east..

Does that open a door for Chase at KTM?

Only having Prado as a 450 KTM guy is a bit small..

Not just Kawasaki, he also has to get the blessing of Monster.

How refreshing to see people can understand the nuance of the situation here.

You don't think MX GP is a possibility? 

Would allow for staying with Kawasaki and Monster while being on a new team and different bike.

Patiently awaiting the response from people who refused this could happen.

He's going YELLOW.  Team Caterpillar, the track drive ensures that there will be no pushing of the front end leading to crashes at inopportune times!
Announcement soon...

Prado is vindicated

As if that wasnt already the case months ago. But yeah, now perhaps even the last idiots will finally wake up (just maybe)

When’s the last time kawi had 3 riders? Isn’t that enough proof something’s off?

Suck it down voters lmfao

Yep...I thought this was all just crazy tin-foil hat speculation, just make stuff up.  Turns out that the multiple smoke signals actually meant fire.

Chase still won on the Kawi. Jorge’s actions were not impressive, but yes he can ride. 

Back to Chase…. There must be an announcement very soon. Completely follow Jorge and go to KTM? Some Yamaha? Lewis Phillips, post a colored flag, something. 

Edit: I don’t care where he goes, as long as it’s factory level equipment that he can gel with.

That was a real rollercoaster. Based on how late it got, I was thinking it was less likely but here we are.

He is starting year number 2 of his 3 year contract.  This is all tin-foil hat conspiracy stuff because people are bored. He will be racing for Kawasaki for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.  🤣
