Just wondering if there is any truth to the rumor. I see a lot of people saying Savatgy will get the second spot next to Tomac for one year and then its Adam's. I'm a big fan of Adam and if he stays healthy then I think he will have a very successful career on big bikes

Adam's contract with Pro Circuit ends after 2019, then things could get interesting on who will bid for his services...

With the loyalty adam and kawi have towards each other id be willing to bet they put him on a 450. I think a healthy adam with a full year under him will pull much better results than joey.

I thin JS17 will be a 1 year deal to sink or swim, but AC will be there after PC.

Savatgy won’t get a top 450 offer I wouldn’t think. I’d say a Bogle type career is his absolute peak. Which is obviously amazing in the grand scheme of things. Just not worthy of a top factory ride.

I think Joey will perform much better than Grant has, and won't be an easy choice to unseat for 2020.

I would be surprised if kawi lets AC go.

how so? i bet they got him on a discount. He will be a great 2nd guy/rookie.. especially at a discounted price... they arent paying him to win.. they are paying him to contend for top 10's... which i think hes more than capable of, i think he will do better than hill on the 450.

Don't be surprised if you see a bidding war for AC 92 in 2020. Him and KR94 are good friends already.

AC is going to be eligible for 250 class again in 2020 no matter what he does in '19 so it's not stamped he's 450 in 2020 although I know he wants to go. Lots of things could happen, including Joey killing it and Kawi saying to AC "Hey man, what's another year in 250's?"
But when he goes 450's, no doubt in my mind that he stays green. They love him for many reasons.
Mathis is getting weeded out of the pro pits one team at a time he and his almighty will be outsiders soon.

Savatgy already signed this deal for next year along side tomac. AC likely to take it in 2020 tho

I mean if they got him cheap maybe but I don’t see how “battling for top tens” warrants a top 450 ride.

Joey is a top 250 rider. Top 250 riders get 450 rides. Its how it works fam.

Thats how pretty much every factory team works. They can't afford Two guys that will contend for wins. Typically every factory team will hire a big name (big dollar) guy to contend for wins and a second guy that can consistantly put the bike in the top 10. How do you think Weston Peick has been and will continue to be employed by top factory teams...

9th in the point standings of the 250 class at age 24 doesn't exactly scream top 250 rider to me.

After hearing the Pourcel/RV story it occurs to me they purposefully hire somebody that isn't fast enough to beat their main guy. Avoids a lot of tensions, I am sure.
It's impossible for a corporation or government to love you or care about you.

With the relationship AC and Kenny have I could see HRC spending the money to have a Roczen/Cianciarulo team in ‘20. Would be awesome to see if there is any chance of it

I'm going to memorise this comment because I think you could be onto something... As much as I'd love to see AC stay green you can't ignore the dynamic between him and KROC... Great training duo
I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not too sure.

You need to race outdoors to be considered a top 250 rider.
