Is Aaron Plessinger still under contract for 2019 on the 250f, or is he at the end of his contract with Yamaha 2018? I was just thinking today about how is super-positive, good natured attitude and personality...along with his speed and skill might be a great addition as Marvin Musquin's teammate over at KTM. Might not ever happen, but I could certainly see that being a good play on DeCosters part.

KTM should get Kirk Gibbs or Luke Cloud to ride the outdoors this season, if Broc can't get his things settled.

Lots of things in the air. Webb's 2019 decision is the first chip to fall. Everyone seems to be waiting for that.

I don’t see Plessinger going to KTM. He’s won on his current bike and will defend his title on it in 2019. Nothing to really talk about.

Ooops! Ok, I'm an idiot. I didn't read JT$'s answer correctly. Yammie for 2019. Gotcha...

Why does everyone want every Yamaha rider to switch to KTM?

Because they ride a KTM and want justification for buying it.

I’d push a broken KTM before I rode a blue boat anchor.

For most people they could save 4500$ and buy a RMZ and go just as fast as their overpriced KTM.

Lol no... plenty of good deals and good dealers out there who give good deals on ktms and huskys just the same as jap bikes, We've all seen people pay 9-10k for a yz250f because a dealer bent them over and tacked on all sorts of fees...same as with ktm/husky...plenty on here have bought new ktm/husky for well under msrp out the door myself included.

If you pay msrp plus fees plus tax n title well thats on you for not shopping around jap or austrian...
At least with the austrian they are worth more than 3k after a season.

its interesting for Webb here, who everyone seems to think wants off the YZF, he really either stays at Yamaha and possibly becomes thier number 2 rider to Barcia, or goes to KTM or Kawi (unlikely i would think) to be their number 2 rider, or does he end up at JGR?

I am missing something on Webb? Is he in an option year? And is it only his option and not Yamaha's?

I disagree, I see KTM team as a great fit for him, so it will be interesting to see where he goes in 2020

What decision does he have to make? I know Roger wants him but does he have other offers? Does Yami want to keep him?

See there’s a far deeper possibility here that he could go to KTM. He rode for them in the gncc days and his dad won multiple titles for them in off road. I could see Ktm going after him just to get him back on thier brand
