Will RCH still keep their big sponsors? Will the Sponsors they still support a B plus team(without Roczen or another top rider) Will another top rider sign with RCH?

If it's true that Martin is already signed with RCH, then I don't think they'll have any problems holding sponsor/finding new ones.

Great observation. Do Moto fans really believe sponsors view Martin the same as Roczen?

Can someone tell me why it's assumed that Roczen will be signing with Honda? Because I've seen that being claimed a few times on here

It`s not a question of "will be signing". He already has.

Personality-wise, Kenny and JMart are polar opposites, but when it comes to strapping on the helmet, Jeremy is just as capable, and he has 2 national championships to prove it.

Supercross is what brings the money and jmart is underwhelming indoors.

He's sitting in second place overall. That seems pretty good to me.

Jmart had the red plate prior to his misfortunes last weekend didn't he? Has Roczen held the red plate at all this year? What place is Jmart currently in? 2nd? What place is Roczen currently in? 2nd? Am I missing something?

Roczen has one SX lites championship and one MX 450 championship. Jmart is still very much in the hunt for a SX lites championship with 2 MX lites championships and has a good chance to make it 3 after this year.

I'm pretty sure Jmart is exactly what all teams are looking for in a rider. Hard working and a proven winner.

If we talk "what ifs", JMart had a red plate only because of Stewarts and Davalos misfortunes.

martin is a big signing for any team out there. and if that team has zero championships to their credit than even more so.

I thought I saw JMart go from nearly last place to second a few races ago. How does that qualify for "bad indoors"?

Also, RCH has had great sponsors for many years without Roczen or a Roczen-like rider. I think they'll survive.

Ride it much? I'd ride it hard and put it away wet. Pump number is probably 10 on that one.....

J-mart still hasn't finished a complete indoor season. The last two seasons he's simply failed to qualify for mains.

Seeing what JMart can do on a 450 outdoors is something I'm really looking forward to. When is he jumping to the big bike outdoors?

When Cary and Kenny meet with potential sponsors, they sell a team persona , not a rider.

At Detroit this weekend, I heard it was a 5 year deal.

Would that be the longest duration contract ever? I recall some riders sticking with specific brands for their entire careers but I'd suspect that they re-signed at some point. I hope they are very happy together if it's true. That's a long marriage in today's world.

Yeah, no...I think there might have been 1 250sx where KR didn't qualify when he was doing it part time, Jmart failed to qualify how many times in SX the previous 2 years? Not saying he won't be great, but Jmart isn't even close to Kenny in indoor skills.

I don't see any comparison... I truly believe Ken Roczen is one of the 5 best riders in the world right now on a 250 or
450 indoors or out...

I'm thinking Kenny could go to the GP's & take the title from Herlings on a 250...

I'm thinking Kenny could go to the Nationals & take the title from Martin on a 250...

I'm thinking Martin will never win the Supercross title on a 450 on any brand....

I'm thinking Ricky knows he's getting the short end of the stick... Martin is a very talented rider who will never give up
though...
