I might have jumped the gun here, added 2 + 2 and got 25 but anyone else think roger might be moving from suzuki?
In an other thread here that there was a rumor of desalle going to honda and decoster was managing the team but didnt really buy it... but now with reed tweeting about how he didnt leave suzuki for the money and everyone will see why in a few weeks has brought me round to believing something is up.
Then Reed retweeted what somebody else wrote, which was : " JonErik19: I think this week will go down as one of the best for @KTMUSA. Stoked for what's to come!"
So maybe Roger to KTM?
He turned suzuki's fortunes around (ok so RC had a little to do with it to) so KTM want him to turn theirs around as well?

reed on a ktm could be good. reed with decoster would be really good. now if he can get goose back...
Let's go into the most hypothetical scenario:
KTM USA brings in Marvin Musquin
KTM USA signs Christophe Pourcel
KTM USA signs Roger De Coster
Would they be making a strategic mistake for future sales by relying purely on the myth of "win on Saturday sell on Monday" and not seeing the fact that they are fully branding the team "Euro".
Would they then be the French-speaking team all Yankees want to beat?
Would this team help them gain market share in a market where the majority thinks "USA, USA, USA"?
Of course this is just a simulation, in case CP377 would have made the decision to take KTM's dollars and if RDC was leaving Suzuki for the orange team.
In any case, the Austrians seem decided to spend the big dollar in the country of Uncle Sam in order to increase mx market share.
The Shop
but since RC left, ONLY one rider each year on that team has been gold. the other riders were lackluster. makes ya wonder.

Pit Row
I could see him easily in a promotional role in MX, an ambassador position for both the GP's and U.S. series'.
