At this point it would almost be worth any team signing him just for the media attention. I know that sounds stupid but free marketing is very valuable.
Get comfortable, go faster, now the suspension requires changing again.
Its never ending.
I don’t know why your comment has received so many down-votes! Would any of the down-voters care to explain?
I just dont believe somebody as ornery as you actually rides..
I agree that KTM makes the most sense but not for the same reason.. is Honda hurting because they dont have an American rider?

If he signs with Tedder, no one will have to worry about him at Hangtown or any other pro national
Honda may not care, but on one of the bazzillion silly season videos, podcasts, posts, and articles KTM had expressed concerns with the optics of this.
Slightly off topic, but I got to thinking about who could help to rescue Kawi. Some have suggested Joe Shimoda. Do we, the Vitard Collective, think that Kawi would do anything necessary to help Joe be as successful as possible? Even to the point of letting him do whatever he wants to their motorcycle?
Look how the CS and JP saga went. If Kawi doesn't make any internal changes, the outcome will be the same.
Yes, but Joe is Japanese and a national hero in the manufacturers eyes. My question is are they willing to do things for Joe that they wouldn’t consider for anyone else?
No. If they weren't willing to do things for a 4X MXGP Champ and a 2X AMA 450 Champ then nothing will change.
Well.... I actually was on a kx250.... from 1997... loll...
I know, right? Because they wouldn’t create a program for outdoors would they…
From Matthes in this week's Racerhead.
So, what's next? Yeah man, I really don't know. I got some calls and texts from seriously connected people within the industry that all said different things: Quad Lock Honda, Pipes Motorsports Suzuki or back to Red Bull KTM. Those are the three landing spots most mentioned. I think, as I type this Thursday night, it's looking like he might join the SX champ on yellow, but what do I know? Not much I guess, because info is all over the place.
Did not expect to make it through the week without something being announced.
Tedder is rich but he aint rich enough for both
I wouldn’t be so sure…
Honda won't let go of Joe, they'll make room for him with the Lawrences.
Pit Row
He's at the track! Loving these troll posts this week.
Surprised tmz hasn't posted the spy pics tbh. Something's gotta give!
? He's been in the 250 class for years and not won a meaningful championship yet. He looked good at the MXoN once on a 450, but he is way inconsistent and injury prone.
He's the best Japanese rider, Honda would like to hold on to him.
He is also the fastest Japanese rider to ever live, and that means something.
Akira Watanabe?
Correct, he is the fastest Japanese rider to ever live.
Surely an SMX championship dwarfs a 125 World Championship 😜
Cooksey right more often than not? We still got a while until April fools my man.
I'm not a Cooksey fan, but he ain't wrong.
If it’s Quad Lock, Vialle must have really talked the bike up to him. Could be a good stepping stone for the team to take over the Factory 250 effort, bigger sponsors etc with Chase there.
Vialle and Quadlock? Wait what?!
