-two two and deano - very likely
Factory KTM- no way in hell do they "drop Roczen" If Roczen leaves that's because he chose to leave. Not because he's forced out. Dungey has another year on his contract. So of course he's staying there,
ME Kawasaki- Dropping Weimer like a hot potato. I do think they will go after Roczen. If they can't get Roczen, they will most likely have Deano and Baggett moving up.
JGR- I think they keep Brayton, and like Matthes said, they will probably pick up Barcia.
RCH- Tickle has been riding pretty well lately. I think they keep Tickle as their number 2 rider. Get rid of Hill (not Grant, he rides for JGR) and pickup Roczen.
Honda- I think they keep Canard. I also think they'll sign Seely. It will depend on how he does outdoors though. Seely's shown he can do really well on the 450 indoors, but if he struggles badly racing the 450 this summer, that could hurt his status.
Yosh Suzuki - James already signed. Maybe they'll sign somebody cheaper like Peick for a number two rider (hopefully)
There are still other guys that haven't been mentioned. Like Jason Anderson, Millsaps, etc. Since they're both with Rockstar, maybe they resign with Rockstar again. Who knows. I think I read somewhere that Tomac has a rider option for next year with Geico? If he chooses not to re sign for that extra year, he could become a free agent. I'd like to see him on Factory Honda. Even Wil Hahn has been showing tremendous potential. He could be looking at a "full factory" ride whenever his contract runs out. There's so much that can change between now and when silly season starts.
Then we have the biggest free agent of all time. ALL the teams will be fighting over this guy. MIKE ALESSI! lol
The Shop
Really don't understand it either.
They're still working on that perception thing to a lot of the market. I'd bet if the fights not over for that signature they step it up, because otherwise you've got Dungey left who maybe isn't all they wanna bank on given the comp.
Seeley will be his replacement
#1 - Kenny is going to RCH and he is NOT giving up RedBull. He pretty much has a lifetime contract.
#2 - Barcia is going to be spending a lot of time in Huntersville after the Nationals.
If so then either kenny or rozcen will head up that team, freeing up a second rider spot on both teams
Here's my thoughts
honda- canard, seely
factory ktm - dungey, anderson
factory husky- rozcen,millsaps
kawsaki- villopoto, bagget
rch- barcia, peick
Pit Row
KTM has been able to not renew the contract with Supercross rookie Ken Roczen Sensations for 2015. It attracts a factory bike in Ricky Carmichael's RCH team, where the partnership with Red Bull could be maintained .
In the last week the talks on the future of Ken Roczen reached a new level : Apparently it is now almost certain that the MX2 World Champion of 2011 and current title holder of the 250 - cc Supercross West Coast series KTM will leave and at that will return brand , with the Thuringian started his unparalleled career .
Roczens signature for the 2015 season in the U.S. is the most desirable above all, because the 450cc rookie delivers a strong yet Supercross season off and won the Red Bull KTM 450 SX -F already two events. The rumors were even resistant to hear in the paddock of the MXGP that the German next year is to get a Suzuki factory bike in the RCH team.
When it comes to that , Roczen should be able to maintain its longstanding partnership with Red Bull , which would not have been possible , for example, when changing to Kawasaki for Monster Energy . With Red Bull Roczen is to him since his Junior time . A Suzuki deal would mean a return to his roots , 2009, he returned as a 15- year-old in Portugal on the Japanese brand a memorable MX2 World Championship debut from .
There are no official statements , either about a contract extension at KTM yet on whether Roczen in 2015 will actually sit on a RM- Z 450 . It is difficult to imagine that he will really leave the camp from KTM and that the decision is only a financial issue . KTM is known as a manufacturer who has devoted all his heart racing , very good structures built and has invested in many areas in order to increase the quality .
Is there the option with Husqvarna KTM ?
With the incorporated of the KTM brand Husqvarna Roczen would have within the KTM network options, if he no longer wants to stay in the same environment as KTM factory rider Ryan Dungey . At KTM there under the leadership of Racing Director Pit Beirer , the 2011 weglotste Roczen Suzuki , also any support , if the driver wants to drive at some time back in Europe .
It's no big secret that Roczen in 2013 despite winning the title with his 250-ccm-MX/SX-bIke was not overly happy. But there is an invigorating performance at the United Nations last September and the previously excellent speed on the 450 SX -F motocross points out that he has a competitive package.
Roczens new collaboration with renowned trainer Aldon Baker in 2014 undoubtedly had a great influence on his fitness , and focus on the essentials. The admiration of RCH co-owner Ricky Carmichael, the large U.S. cross - legend , could also play a role in the alleged exchange
Now we need to switch the speculation train to who will be Stewart's teammate at Yosh Suz? or does Weimer stay or go? or does KTM just go with Dungey on the 450 or add someone?
When the big fish is landed the other deals start to fall together and Kenny was the big fish.
Thanks for the info...bro.
Suzuki is with RCH because of RC
