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....

You mean you haven’t been told about it officially. 

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.

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

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.

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.

Do we know he was on there before? People were also digging around Red Bull’s website when Mirtle was trying smear Jett and were freaking out when he wasn’t on there, but it just turned out the website hadn’t been updated in forever.

I'd rather watch paint dry than talk about Chase Sexton. It's like Groundhog Day every year.

they were saying this on Track Talkers, that he’s not on there, but they never knew if he was to begin with. They said Marchbanks isnt but Mcadoo still is and hes not monster anymore so they deemed the whole not being on the website as pretty much irrelevant. 6:30-9:47

Just heard Chase is going to sign with Hodaka and ride the new super duper rat. I live next to to RD and Roger said Chase liked the KTM but wanted to go with the chrome tank so he can check his hair before a moto. Heard their going to run side by side wombat motors and they hope the additional weight up front will cure the drifting front end problem

They’re professional racers, gear is a significant chunk of their income.  Why would it not be influential?

How does every one know that Kawasaki did not kick him to the curb and he don't have anything to ride?

Respect to ML, but he only knows what they're choosing to tell him.  

That's not a slight, ML.  Appreciate what you do.

I heard from the first buddy that he's still with monster but he's wearing his Halloween trick or treat Jason mask and is on the down low.... Eating candy & stuff. He was gonna post a "Second best off season ever!" photo but his PR / man 'friend' talked him off that ledge in the nick of time... It's approaching "The Days of Our Lives" on here.

Chase should’ve showed up at the final SMX round to claim Deegan‘s bike. I would’ve paid to see the look on Cotter’s face.

Not to mention not-breaking the news in fear of being black-balled in future.

Take everything with a pinch of salt.
