Don't think so, my guess is this will be his last season. Maybe a supercross next year if anything but doubtful and it will be on 22

That's is a no, but I do forsee 22 motorsports being around. Think he will sign a second rider and just have a two man team instead of him riding . He is now a team owner and as long a dicount tire is backing him he will have a team. I think maybe Dean Wilson or sombody like that. I think his KTM contract is up after sx 2016

Kawasaki wouldn't touch Reed with a 10' pole at this point. His motocross career in the US is done. He's no longer a top contender which means he's definitely not a top factory sponsor opportunity.

If he wouldn't have lost his goggles last weekend he would have been on the podium with a 4-3 at GH. Does that make him a contender?

Prediction- Reed SX farewell tour 2016 then shifts to team manager mode with a second rider for outdoors (maybeTate Reed on a drastically lowered 250F).

i'd retire if I were Chad. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan and I truly believe he's still got the speed (he did win a round this winter), but the AMA and other powers that be have truly shit on one of the sports icons. Between the black flag and now this camera fiasco, they haven't shown much respect to one of the best to ever ride their series. I hope he packs er in and enjoys his millions.

It's not about what he thinks he can win on...it's about money and support. If he isn't gonna ride anymore I could see him switching brands, because twotwo is essentially a business and it's smart business to go were you get the most support.

The black flag incident is debatable but the camera deal was either a bad move in his part or there was a mutual understanding between chad and the camera manufacturer that he was signing them to stir the pot. My belief is the latter. Reeds no dumby and knew the camera rule before signing. He's just preemptively making the relevant case that exclusive contracts such as gopro is counterproductive.

But, business/support or whatever...Chad Reed is a competitor with a champion's ego. He's foolish to join his name & reputation to anything that doesn't have the chance to be a winner whether with him or another rider in the saddle. Why invest your earnings & take a chance on suddenly be an also-ran effort, with TwoTwo logos all over it?
But then again...I'm not Chad Reed, so what do I know?

Maybe he rides for the factory FLY360 team.

I don't know anything, it's just what I hear around the pits and stuff. We'll see what happens.
