Could be late to the party but In observations this week I see Joey has the Monster 450 ride lined up next year, is Grant done? Is this a good or bad move by kawi?
"I know Savatgy now has a 450 ride with Monster Energy Kawasaki lined up for next year"

Going back in time had kawi picked Pourcel i bet some titles would have looked very different.

Weimer as Kawasaki's second rider had a pretty good year in 2012 and started out 2013 well before the injury bug really started to beat him down.
Savatgy makes the podium close to half the time in Supercross and about 1/4 of the time in Motocross. He hasn't missed many races in his career. (Why didn't he race SX in 2014?) I would expect him to finish between 5th and 10th in the 450 SX points next year.

2012 MX
2007 MX
2006 MX
Seasons missing only 1 race:
2013 MX
2009 SX
2008 250 SX (there were only 8 rounds in the east that year)
2007 250 SX
2006 250 SX
In spite of a career of ups and downs for Josh I would keep him on another year - way more talent than Joey...no offense to the Savatgy faithful.
Hill, Osbourne, Savatgy? Man, I’d really like if AC and AP made the jump. Class needs more up and comers.
In 2016 alone, Savatgy won 3 SX and 3 MX races. Grant has 4 SX wins and 2 MX wins over his entire career (245 races).
