Also here is something to think about from a Mike Fisher interview on racer x... At Kawasaki, if we ran over on our budgets, we had KHI [parent company, Kawasaki Heavy Industries] as a safety net. KHI allowed us to go over if it was explainable, and normally that was because we won too much and paid too many race bonuses.
The Shop
I don't see him leaving KTM.
TM
Lots of talent in those 3
"I don't like people from Europe"...
Kenny W pic makes me hungry for Keebler cookies.
Pit Row
He was def out of favour with the team at the end of last year.
Would like to see both step up and get a good contender.
I really do not want Kenny going to Honda though, he is my rider I root for and I would fell like Sybil, cussing Honda but rooting for Kenny.
I think KR to Honda,maybe mookie too. they will be losing bam-bam more than likely,already lost reed,(although not part of factory team).
Not Sure team 22 will be around a year or two from now so I'm not going to speculate about any riders going there.
RD to rch for the carmicheal connection.
Barcia to KTM with "the man" and starts winning..
Wilson to factory Kawi.
That's proof right there of Kenny signing with Zook for 15. Dude has been testing for the last couple weeks.
Other comments from the Peanut-Gallery that're making me laugh my ass off...
"RCH is a Shit-Show"...really? Those bikes work awfully damn good, the Team has one Hell of a Budget, Carey-Ricky-Kenny's Connections, Sponsors-Sponsors & MORE Sponsors, SUZUKI FACTORY HARDWARE, Media-Value beyond most other Teams...well, you get my point. Oh, BTFW, that crew is LOYAL...that's my single favorite asset over there. While we're here...all you RCH/H&H Haters should feel free to EAD & GFY.
"Mike Fischer said..." Blah, Blah, Blah... again? Uh, it's like this: This is 2014. Mike's GONE FOR A WHILE, NOW...and there's a New Sheriff in town. KHI ain't pickin' up the pieces on a Damn Thing! KMC-USA and Monster are what's going on nowadays...and...they've got a Much More Conservative and Professional Management Team...yes, "Team". There's a "traditional" Team Manager and there's someone keeping an eye on the Team from a more "Administrative" stand-point; and, it's working. Have ya noticed the Red-Plate...Again? I'm jus' sayin'...
"KTM can Write a HUGE Check and the Austrian Gov't will back it." Some of you guys act like there's a Pot of Gold at the end of some Magic Austrian Rainbow and KTM is just throwin' money at stuff. Again, "Uh, NO!" It's a BUSINESS...they make $$$ and produce and sell a PRODUCT. A solid product. Lots of that product, too. Red Bull? Hmmmmmm...well, they're a Separate BRAND & ENTITY...let's see how long KTM is Red-Bull-KTM...a lot of talk about Kenny AND Red Bull going to RCH...does that mean they stay at KTM, too? Me? I think Red Bull may actually spread their "Wings" a bit and increase their "Presence" in Moto.
So-n-So saw So-n-So at Such-n-Such: Hey, Genius...EVERYBODY IS TALKING TO AND MEETING WITH EVERYBODY.
In 2015 damn near EVERYBODY is "up"...as in their Contract is Up. Know this: A NEW CRF450R is on it's way. Go look at Narita's and the HRC Europe scooters...Honda ain't done...NOT BY A DAMN SIGHT! There's a New Brand in Town, too. Husky has already made their play for a "Team" and it makes waaaaay too much damn sense...
Yamaha? I see the "Factory" returning...along with an Improved/Expanded 250 Effort. At the same-time: I don't see JGR going anywhere other than "up"...and stayin' "Blue". Suzuki? Some of you don't seem to understand that thier Car-Wo's don't have a Damn-Thing to do with their Bike-Biz...they're doing just fine...250 Team coming? A "3rd" Team? Anyone want to discuss a BRAND NEW RMZ Fo-Fiddy? Kawasaki? Should they even TOUCH their bikes? I mean...me and en 'engineer' friend were discussing this...today...their stuff is working and "Change" has been a Big Dose of "Fail" at the Red & Blue brands...again...I'm jus' sayin'...
Oh, about KMC-USA: wasn't that long ago that Eli REALLY wanted to be on THAT bike...remember?
So, it's like this: The Whole Damn Thing is in Flux. Sure, we all want to know Who's going Where. No worries. It's gonna get weird. You could end up with a KTM 250 rider being the Top-Gun on a Honda 450 in '15. You could see Chad's "2nd Rider" crushing it on a bike with more stock/team-sourced parts than you could guess. TLD could go racing in the "East" & have a "450 Guy"...or Two.
Just sit back, enjoy the ride, watch it all go down. This shit is gonna get Real Interesting...
I'm jus' knowin'...
