There's a thread already that says there's some creedence to what Matthes said about KTM signing Broc Tickle away from RCH for the 2018 season.
I think, if it's true it's a good solid call...but who can they be gunning for that they are signing a rider like Tickle? Broc's good...but he's no threat to win. Podium, maybe...overall, no. KTM is obviously holding back some funds for the "right" rider.
Who else is available for 2018 that would be a potential threat to win to pair with Musquin?

He doesnt look like he rides over his head and is constantly top 5, or top 10 on a bad day. And im sure hes not making huge money. You know what youre getting with broc every weekend, may i say sort of like dungey, but a step down. I think hed be a good addition for ktm. Better than taking a random chance on barcia (whos been inconsistent the past 3 years) or a 250 guy, the 250 guys seem inconsistent lately as well.
So Tickle for next year, then try pick up a top level rider the year after. Maybe Webb/Bagget, or a 250 rider?
Roger is waiting to see if Honda cuts Kenny. Of coarse they would be nuts to, but let's take a stroll down memory lane. They cut R.C., and M.C. in their prime (when they weren't injured!).
Pit Row
Also, does Husky plan on keeping 3 riders on 450s? I bet one of those guys (Not JA) joins KTM squad. Probably the easiest deal to make.
Speaking of Husky. Is Osborn staying in 250s another year? Great fit at KTM. Already trains with Marv.
Ian will take over for Roger. Dungey wouldn't want that Job, even if he was qualified to have it.
