1) Roczen deal is done
2) Tomac
3) Moosecan
4) Anderson deal is done
5) Webb

Is everyone else just filler in the Factory Teams minds?

Seems like that is the goal! Tie up the best guys and hope that the second guy comes out of nowhere and surprises everyone.
That second guy surprising is the thing that doesn’t happen to often.

I would say Savatgy had to be a good surprise for Kawasaki

Did you see musquin take a big gulp in the post race interview after the asked him if he was staying at ktm. That gulp told me probably not.

Tomac's deal is done.
Webb - I think signed a 2 year contract (19 & 20) but not 100% sure though.
Musquin - dont know but original contract end this year.

I'm not seeing anything in that... If that's Marv's "tell" he would have bluffed me.

The only thing that I got was that he doesn't seem happy. But I could be reading that completely wrong. I guess we will find out October 1st, if we don't hear about him re-signing with KTM before that.

Crazy to think that Webb was ever considered the 2nd guy on a team after his 250 career. Still pumped for him and his turnaround. I hope he can carry this momentum into outdoors. I think we'll be in for a Tomac bedtime story.

It will happen next season at Husky, but I don't know if I'd call it a surprise.

I was told that Eli's new deal has been done for quite a while...like before the just-completed SX season.

Marvin said last weekend that they're working on a new deal.

I really don't see anyone going anywhere besides Seeley. A healthy Versace is a front runner. He should stay put unless theres personality issues.

If Kawi take Savatgy then AC goes Honda. If Kawi stick with AC then Savatgy goes to Honda.

An insider I know said sealy is out savachi will replace him AC will be Tomac teammate I’d really hope to see Bogel get another year with Butler brothers he really came around at the end of the year two heat race wins and 2 4ths. The guy is a rocket outdoors. He’s only getting two or three rounds while Benny is getting back to speed but Bogel is better indoors and outdoors than Benny I like Benny but Bogel can beat him outdoors no problems especially if his nerve damage surgery was successful he can lead races and finish on or near the podium. Savatchy could be a threat to Kenny. But if Kenny gets his body back in balance. Joey won’t touch Kenny out doors. And savatch crashes way to often in SX. But on a Honda I don’t think that savachy Will was the front end so much seems like the kawi is set up bad for corners. Eli washed the front end a lot. Imma huge Roczen fan Bogel is my second favorite rider. He has proven he can fight for podiums indoors and out

You forgot about two things Tyler:

1. Switching accounts
2. CAPS LOCK

Mucho Tyo.

Back on the subject, Blake Bagett should not be underestimated. He's a beast outdoors.
Don't know about you guys but I still remember that pass he put on Tomac at Thunder Valley. It was one of the most beautifully executed passes I have ever seen. GIF anyone?

Thank you for asking, i am very plugged into the so cal factory team scene over here in Australia.

Other than maybe Seely to Motoconcepts in place of Friese if they choose to change something up over there, maybe Bogle gets a full time gig at RMATV? Other than that i think pretty much everyone else is signed arent they? Atleast all the big guns anyways.

The silly season had so much promise but it might be a fizzer haha
