Chase has to be the least likeable rider in the pits at this point from a team or fan perspective. What's it going to take, him burning a 4th team? Imagine if Deegan was half this way year in and year out. This place would melt down. 

Tbh I think I want to buy another Kawi because Chase left. He's that annoying these days. 

I like people who I would be certain are shitty employees. Other than the whole ghost riding thing Chase seems a decent fellow, he just seems real particular and uncompromising in his work.

He's not real particular. He's just hiding being not being able to take accountability and convey what he actually needs. He literally doesn't know what to do/say and it's everyone else's fault.

He's complained about every ride he's had and you have a large portion of vital here defending him like "He just needs a new team!". Fucking HA. Look, with Kawi I kinda get it... But he couldn't get along (in his mind) with Honda or KTM either.

Funny enough, I otherwise like Chase. He seems like a cool guy away from the track and I like his interviews. His (perceived) bike setup issues fall squarely on him though and I don't think a 4th team in 4 years is going to change a damn thing.

Downvote it, kids.

Edit: maybe it's 4 teams in 5 years, doesn't matter, I stand by it

Here’s the real question. Does he tuck the front or win first?

I’m excited to see where ever he goes. Obviously no bike will be the magic “fix”. 

As far as teams, without Roczen saying he’ll be racing in 2027(yet), I’d assume HEP signs Sexton.

Highly doubt Star, only looking as an outsider, chase would not gel that that team or program/riders.

Curious what top 10 guy you can see reed getting along with? Because I can't think of any. He might get away with bossing younger 250 guys around but having trouble seeing him ever coexisting with an established 450 guy.

Wilson and Grant both rode for Reed back in TwoTwo days, they got along well and are still friends today. 
It seems everyone loved being on that team Goose mechaniced for so many top riders but chose to stay with Chad until he retired. 
People’s impressions and reality seem to have been two different things on this one.

Anytime you hear Lars or Oscar interviewed they always speak very highly of the Two Two organisation..

Lars has said multiple times he doesn’t think he would be where he is now without it.

Wherever he ends up, I hope he has ridden the bike (a lot), and really likes it (a lot) before committing.

I am going to guess he is going to be teammates with Webb.

Both Jorge and Chase back to KTM would be the biggest slap in the face for Kawi. What a time to be alive.

Especially if both end up fighting for podiums and wins most weeks. Imagine they both finish top 3 in points 😬

Aside from about 5 races, Chase was less than stellar on the Kawasaki.  I'll go out on a limb and say that any of the other big 5 bikes will result in better finishes for him.

I don't think i've ever seen a poll with such even responses on this website before.

Laugh if you must, but he will land on a good ride and will win another championship or two. The only riders typically faster than Chase are The Jett and The Bullet.

Mxgp please 

I have to admit that it would be funny for Chase to leave Kawi USA just to end up on KRT because everyone else is full... 

Unfortunatelly in a world where people exchange money for goods and services the math doesn't math

Wherever he ends up, he better not be the deciding factor in Roczen retiring.

Chris Cooksey says HEP, and since he’s right more often than not, I’d say that’s a good bet.

Why the downvotes for asking other’s opinions? 

Because vital votes with opinions and not facts. Usually, the closer something is to being true, the more likely it is to get downvoted. We live in a backwards world these days and the anonymous downvotes facilitates those attitudes. 

They see a name like Deegan or Cooksey and their dull minds are incapable of thinking critically so they hit the downvote button like the apes they are.

Kawasaski has problems even with adaptable, communicative riders, KTM is all Euro and stuff. Star Yamaha is the only remaining full-blown factory team left for Chase, but will they take him?

I don't see Reed as being stubborn so much as being unwilling to candy coat or put up with any bullshit.  Jordan won't put up with it either.

It might be good for Chase to ride for Reed/Jordan.
