I know he is still off playing in the NASCAR B series, but he is still on the payroll and his contract was just renewed this year or last year one. I wonder if that is where Suzuki will try to go for a team manager.

I say RC or Goose will be the next team manager.

I doubt RC would want to be a manager at this time of his life. He is head-long into his 4 wheel career and he just doesnt seem like the type to be a manager. I see him staying on as a rider coach and stuff like that but I dont think he cares much for the business end of motocross. JMO

If they can't afford Roger, they surely can't afford Ricky.

How do you know this?

The thing is he is already getting paid and getting paid good from what I hear from Suzuki employees.

You are correct sir...I don't know anything about this topic for certain. Roger said the reason for his release was "indirectly" economically related. They didn't want to sign a multi-year contract. My and only my, take on that statement is that Suzi corporate is not optimistic about the near future and not willing to pay for Rogers services. It is also my assuption that Ricky would expect a compensation package similar to Rogers. In short, my assumption (right or wrong) is that if Suzi is not able to meet RD's demands then they probably won't see value in persueing someone who would probably cost them as much if not more. Would I bet my life on being correct...nope.

RC has made it clear that he plans on taking his 4 wheeled career to the top, or at least try his best to....doubtful, extremely doubtful, that he will be manager..

RC has almost zero time to even think about mx. He is balls deep in the 4 wheel turn left thing and is determined to see it to the top. That deserves respect.

And as a side note I have to say to Matthes that his hatred toward KTM will always be remembered and his though his side kick is leaving I no longer give two shits about twmx, pulpmx, and his dumbass porn star podcasts. If you go against the grain then you get the bottom of the pile. DeCoster live made a porn star and doped up Hilll put things into reality. Watson is a ego head case, ex drug addict who no longer even rides/races. He already said live that he was done with pulpmx.. He cost you Paul. He sounds like a flat billed tatted duche bag. He is a "Pro motocross Team Manager"? Oh fucken give me a break. Look for wins from that team in the next decade. LOL.
How and why should us core fans respect him or you?

Dude chill man - sounds like you are going through withdrawal from pain-meds yourself!!

Matthes has stated that he doesn't have any hatred for KTM - he used to work for them and has no issue with them - sure he's had a go at the 350, blaming it for MA's poor season, but then who hasn't???

Matthes is one of the few journos who has the balls to say it as HE sees it - not as he thinks the riders or managers feel it should be said - sure he makes some enemies along the way but he also brings us a side of the sport that wouldn't otherwise get to see.

As for Kenny - he knows a lot more about what's going on in the sport than he lets on. Part of his role in the PulpMX "show" is play the hard assed dummy. And so what if he had a drug problem........ kudos to the guy for managing to kick it and turn his life around.

Not saying that I have a whole bunch of respect for them, but I'm grateful for the side they bring to our sport.
