If KTM let him go because of his age that would detrimental to their team/brand/development. His expertise will likely never be duplicated.
Pretty weird turn from "hey buddy, ride my YZ" to "Surprise! I just randomly posted that you refused a drug test lol"
I didn’t know about the Star offer.
I was told he can’t sign until the first of the year, unless Honda counters, then it opens it up.
Good point, hadn’t thought of that. Maybe Ping is sour about how that deal went and now he’s trying to throw shit at the wall.
Kenny having recent rode Ping’s bike at RBSR shows that Ping definitely has his contact info and could have reached out for a quote prior to throwing him under the bus.

How do you get 'baseless' from the agent ADMITTING the fact? You having a 'my truth' moment? That buttholio Ping. He's so divisive!! How dare he state something that, even though it's TRUE,,,, might not be popular.
Has ping always been like this?
Must not have read my full post. His agent said they did submit a test to FIM and received a negative test.
You also must have missed the part where I said these are his words, not mine, so this has nothing to do with “my truth”.
how long before Vital pulls this thread? They've pulled stuff regarding Ping before. Now since this is clearly a bad look for Ping and WTM, is vital just gonna intentionally leave it up? (I'm not here to internet box, just playing devil's advocate).
I hope there's something I don't know going on behind the scenes because it seems risky to jump off that Honda to step on the KTM (especially when Sexton consistently showed elite 1 lap speed on the Honda last year).
You should see his Twitter. lol
Why pull it? He's not on vital's payroll anymore, he's on his own.
This isn't GuyB days anymore, ML lets things ride (within reason) as long as us vitards keep it semi-clean.
Or his meltdown in this forum a few years ago, just a few weeks after vital hired him. Someone should link to that old thread in here.
Maybe he will chime in on this thread.
See original post
"We've also been told" and "if true"
These are are key phrases and most seem to be missing them.
Posting like this on social media citing unprofessional behaviour is beyond ironic.
Key phrases indicating gossip, hearsay, and speculation.
Apparently the “r word” is a ban-able offense to n here.
Pit Row
This is fat guy speak for “I don’t like to work hard”
Yep. Seems like when Ping was doing his videos here...everybody thought he was the man,and hung on his every word. Then he leaves Vital (I don't know the story...) and becomes "Douche Of The Day". Did he suddenly change? Is he bitter about something? Seems like the membership of the Ping fan club has diminished hugely.
If Roger wasn't a hypocrite he would fire himself.
You may have missed some things. ML and Ping aren't on the friendliest terms currently.
That is how all media roll these days.
But people are reading it as if Ping is making the accusation.
So is Chase riding orange? This thread is mildly confusing.
Cooksey and Ping claim Chase has signed with KTM to ride starting ‘24.
It's evident from reading the ridiculous exchange between Ping and Roczen's manager that Ping had no idea what happened when he threw out the rather serious claim that Roczen refused a test. The responsible - though far less fun - thing to do is seek clarification and corroboration before putting it in people's heads (even if said people are unjustified - you know it will happen) that Roczen is a cheater.
Honda losing Kenny and possibly Chase is a surprise. Has Jett signed a contract recently with them? If not his asking price should go up.
Ping sucks
Jett is with them through 2025.
Honda is likely betting the house with the Lawrence bros, so I don't think they will be too heartbroken if Chase leaves.
Post a reply to: Sexton to KTM confirmed?
