Hope he gets some Ws for them! I'd like to see him winning again. Either way he will always be a fan favorite.

Nice move ! I am sure kenny will be much more a threat for the SX/MX title next year after a year without injuries (hoping he stays injury free this summer).

I guess this move settle Tomac with Kawi and Musquin with KTM for the next few years.

The moves to follow will be:

- AC is supposed to move up if he gets the title this weekend. Honda or Kawi next year ? Would prefer seeing him on a kawi next to Tomac

- Savatgy ? Well i guess it depends on AC, if he choose kawi or not.

- Seely ? Maybe MCH supercross only ?

- JGR squad ? I guess it depends on the team then but if they do shut down the team Hill / A.Martin /Reed will have to find a new ride

So Ken finishes his career with HRC. That's how I see it.

I agree. I think a few contracts made this year will be career finishing contracts.

Good move from HRC.
Being a good Team Rider is not all about winning!

Where are the "experts" who wrote here HRC will not sign him again.

3 years, wow!
A win in Vegas would be a fine way to celebrate a contract that long after all they've been through together over the last few years.

Probably for Ken and the last 2 contracts he signed but I'd bet there aren't many that are on more then him, Webb, Tomac maybe Anderson, I'd be surprised if MM25 was on more.

Smart on Honda's part to lock Roczen in for the next three years. He has remained injury free now for a long time and he's healthy. History has shown what a healthy Roczen can do. He's also shown the speed to win. Like the race where Savatgy crashed in front of him and took him out. He was dialed in and on point to win if that hadn't happened no doubt. I think that and the first turn crash at Daytona (not his fault again) took the wind out of his sails, because the title became out of reach. Once a new series starts (indoors or out), he will be fit and knowing he has a title shot. Based on what he has shown he can do, what he would've done without terrible luck, and the fact that he's use to the bike/team, it was smart on Honda's part to resign him. Smart on his part as well to stick with a bike he's use to and a powerhouse like Honda.

IMO they need to keep Cole as well, seems like a good vibe in the team, if both are healthy they can push each other on each week with a healthy rivalry (I don’t think KTM have that which is why I expect them to falter if Marv signs again)

I agree. And he has shown great speed as well. If he can stay healthy I think he can get some endurance and pulling some podiums.
