Kawasaki had bad blood with KTM over Eli's SX championship being "robbed" by Dungey and Musquin even before KTM signed Prado, I can imagine Kawasaki will be super pissed if KTM signs Chase now as well....
People who keep saying this, please tell me the last time we didn't find about a signing until the official announcement? Has this ever happened? This is no different than those who were indignant that even talking about this was dumb because he had a 3 year contract. You are technically right, we don't know, contracts, etc etc etc..... but come on, that's never been how any of this works so I don't get why some are clinging to it so much right now, especially on a message board that exists for these types of discussions.
If he hasn't been cleared to ride, then the timing on the signing is not the problem, it's the inability to ride that should be the story. He could sign something the day he's cleared to ride and be on stock bike on turn track that afternoon. The lack of sense of urgency here tells me he hasn't been cleared to ride.

I think because the "insiders" haven't broken anything yet on the Chase situation ahead of the press releases.
If they were the true source of knowledge in all this, wouldn't we at least know if he's riding yet?
Call me crazy but I'm in the camp waiting for the PR to drop.
A buddy of mine mentioned on Monsters website he is no longer mentioned as an athlete….. take that for what it is.
Matthes said on the review pod for the final round of SMX end of September that sexton and kawasaki had agreed to terms on separation.
