Roczen is unhappy with those KTM's for a long time now. He was struggling with the set-up through the outdoors and it continued till now.
when he came back to germany before the mxon, he hired his old suspension guru (RR Suspension) to test with him for a week. they were able to get his bike dialed in, which those factory technicians of his team never could.
After he returned to the US for SX testing, he brought RR over to help him but he still had problems and was very unhappy

if anyone offers him a good deal like factory stuff and the possibility to stay with Red Bull, i can see him leaving KTM. he has no real relationship to this brand or Roger deCoster.

I wouldn't go there: Carey knows how to fight!

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...

That is one of the most logical posts I've read as of late. I really hope you're right about Suzuki's 250 team. I hate not seeing any kind of 250 effort from them and I'm still bummed they lost Rock Star. I'm really looking forward to how all this play's out.

KTM is on top of their game right now. I think they resign Dungey. Past Champion, good for the brand, and he is always a top three consistent guy, that is usually healthy. Plus I believe DeCoster likes him a lot.

They also sign Roczen......future champion, good for the brand, and fans like him.

All this talk about guys leaving KTM and going to RCH......I don't think RCH has near the budget for either of those riders. Just my opinion.

If I were a betting man, I would say KTM retains their current riders.
