Matthes was saying Quadlock or KTM but what about that wild-ass theory about PRMX? They're going to be on Yamaha in 2027 and don't those guys train at Chambers' Place and doesn't Chase train there as well? If Star can't accommodate Chase for whatever reason....is there a world in which he joins Colt Nichols at PRMX and gets some factory Yamaha parts floated his way? I know I'm reaching but that's what message boards in the off season are for...

would Chase even know what factory parts he wanted "floated his way"? Seems that would require a more technical analysis than what he's been given credit for up until now.

Gotta sign something before you can plan an announcement.

So,,, he 'left' a job with no particular place to go lined up?

Yeah, you’ve never done that? Feels great 😂

Did you wait until you were having to apologize to the last place you worked trying to get your old job back?? Bet that feels great...

Somebody posted on here last week about Chase having a “Brand Revealing Party”. 🎉 

Thought that was funny.  😄

Just because we don’t know about it, doesn’t mean the wheels aren’t in motion.  

It’s probably already done with the team and bike, but he needs to finalise with some other sponsors so they get some attention when he’s ready to shout about it.

Doesn't matter. When was the last time a top rider didn't have a ride 10 weeks out from A1? Starting from zero?

maybe just waiting to receive final report from his doctors that his leg is fine and no concerns. That's sure to be a question the press asks when the signing is announced and would be nice to have that in hand to answer the question.

Eli Tomac and Jorge Prado were announced as joining KTM on November 4, 2025. 

So... Last year?

Correct....you dont get it.

He isn't making a statement about energy drinks....He is making a statement about the industry at large; whether true or not, the idea that a rider would pick a team based on a sponsor rather than the merits of the team/bike is a bummer.

You're missing my point. WHO says he doesn't have a ride yet? (Just because he hasn't gone public about it yet doesn't mean anything) None of us know.

Difference is it had been known around the industry for awhile that they would be going there, in this case none of the guys that would typically have the scoop seem to know, and if they do they aren’t letting the cat out of the bag.

Gear deals and sponsorships influence team/bike choice quite often.

Difference is they were signed, and just waiting the announcement.

Chase’s situation is worse again because he hasn’t even been able to test ride anything (although cynics will say, based on history, that is irrelevant).

I'm choosing a Vital scientific method in predicting where he will go; if he announces

Monday = YaMaha

Tuesday = KTM

Wednesday = back to KaWasaki

Thursday = QuaDlock Honda

Friday = AWM Fulfillment PMG Suzuki

It means I’ve gone to a few of the teams he’s talking to confirm they’re still in a negotiating phase and reached out to his representation to confirm it’s still in process.

I do try to do my due diligence.
