I would love it to happen and I would love to believe you! The Tomac family and RC and Factory Suzuki-that would shake up the establishment! And Hart, and Watson!

So... 450 at Hangtown? Or 250 for Geico Honda and moving to an RCH 450 for 2014 SX?

Funny, I heard more towards Monster Energy Kawasaki. But the rumors are definitely flying.

RCH and Kawasaki is possible but depending on who does better outdoors, Hahn or Tomac, some one will need to fill Windham's spot on the 450.

He's already said he's racing a 250 outdoors for Gieco this summer. Any moves will be after the nationals.

Best situation for Tomac would be for him to go to KTM with RD & RD.

Would be cool, but I don't believe you. I need proof.

The exact scenario I pray for. . . Doesn't seem like they'd be interested though. Unless the price was just right. They're already grooming two 250 riders who seem dedicated to team KTM. And Dungey isn't going anywhere for awhil. While I hope this is the case, I doubt it.

You're right probably unlikely but they did go after Deano in the off season. Tomac is certainly at the same level as Deano so maybe they will. I still think Deano was crazy not going to KTM. It would be the best move for his career. He choose to follow Kawi & Monster instead.

Would be quite the blow for Factory Honda.
i listened to one of the pulpmx podcasts w/ Windham and he made it sound like it might be him not liking the new CRF450.....but that's just how I interpretted it. He didnt make it sound like it was something definite though.

Not sure what the factory guys think of the new crf450 so...

Kawi seems pretty set at the moment. Would they possibly be trying to drive the price for Tomac up because RCH switched to Suzuki?

For the life of me I cant remember where i saw/read it but I'm pretty sure Roczen is riding a 450 next year, already has a contract with KTM. Id Musquin wins the 250 east doesnt he ride 450 too?

Steve Matthes pre-race pod cast. He asked Kenny if pointing out has him worried and Roczens reply was (from Steve Matthes) "doesn't matter anyway cause I'm moving up to the 450's next year. It's in my contract."

They were still going after Deano before SX. They obviously knew Roczen was moving to 450s then.
