My point is that evidently Yamaha has the final say in giving Eli a contract. Maybe that's not it but I don't understand how in the hell they are letting him walk away.

So Star fixed what Yamaha couldn't get right and now Yamaha knee caps them and lets the baddest most popular American racer walk. Dumb!

If this happens, Ducati needs to put the big fat #1 on their production bikes like Yamaha used to.

If you’ve been following everything, it makes perfect sense. First off Yamaha pays the 450 budget, Star pays the 250 budget. ET has been up in the air about retiring for the past few years. These deals don’t come together in a day or two Yamaha, Star, etc. have to make plans in advance. You act like Yamaha doesn’t want him. Webb just won the Supercross title for Yamaha not only are they not going to let him go, he’s also going to get a pay increase for next year. Cooper is a solid second rider on the team, and...

A few years ago I woulda laughed at this statement, there's no freaking way. Fast forward to 2025, and in theory its possible. Tomac lines up for 2026 MX on the #1 Ducati.

Tomac been testing the Ducati this week in co

Chase switched from Monster to RedBull when he moved to KTM.

Yamaha pays the 450 team, star pays the 250 team.

This entire deal makes no sense. Justin Cooper leveled up for sure but keeping him over Tomac or to not go after Sexton? Is trimming the 250 roster not an option? I'd love to see Sexton on a Star 450, the bike looks dialed. Tomac was ripping before both of his fluke injuries, it would be a shame to see him go.

Tmac has a track to train on at home, Ducati could develop the bike at Tomac's track.

There’s still a long ways to go, but it’s starting to feel like TLD Duc might find a way to get it done. Was a long shot, maybe still a long shot…. But.

Oh I'm sure a lot of it is just stirring the pot bs

Link or it didn't happen.

Ducati off road general manger just outside of Cortez currently. On his instagram story, runs the mxgp moto program.

If Eli doesn't like the KTM, that would mean an AP/Vialle combo. No offense to either, but would this be the first time since 2012 they have no Championship contender?

Where did he say this?

Yea that one is hard to believe

Swap saying tomac does not like the ktm and requested a bike from mek
