(8) HANGING CHADS: And we don’t mean Chad Reed. Lots of riders are making moves to get ready for next year. Even riders who have solid contracts can’t resist talking to new teams about switching. Most of it is conjecture—but Justin Barcia is leaving Honda. Reportedly Eli Tomac would like to go too, but he has a contract for 2015. Davi Millsaps hasn’t even raced his KTM yet, and is looking at replacing Jake Weimer at Kawasaki (or if that falls through riding for Chad Reed’s team). Dean Wilson has been connected to Team KTM because Ken Roczen is most likely going to RCH (for a really really big contract—plus a new 7-year Red Bull deal worth over a mil a year). The Rockstar KTM team has been pegged to become the Rockstar Husqvarna team, but a lot of that was contingent upon Davi Millsaps staying with the team. Pro Circuit probably won’t keep the six riders it has now—even though that wasn’t enough to make it through the 2014 season. Ryan Dungey, Ryan Villopoto, James Stewart and Trey Canard are staying put.
Seems also that all the rumours are true, but I though RCH was Monster based. I can not see Roczen coming up with Red Bell. Neither Roczen in Kawasaki.
So Grant is out of JGR, what about Brayton? If he is out, could be interesting to see him on the new Husqvarna!
