Roger Decoster is leaving Suzuki after a great run. Thor dropped Chad Reed.
The rumours are that Roger Decoster , Chad Reed, C Pourcell , Marvin Musqium and M Alessi all at KTM. This is just silly season rumors, but something is in the mix.

this is got to be a rumor for pourcel, this guy has got to be the top pick for next year in the 450s, why would he even think of going to an unproven team like ktm, they cant pay him that much more than the others cause they dont have it. if honda or yamaha was smart they would sign this cat cause they have no one that is worth a damn. all honda has is washed up riders that are riding for a check, yamaha has bubba but right now that is a shot in the dark. suzuki has dungey, kawi has poto, the rest need a star rider that is hungry for a championship. we will see

Thor dropped Chad? Thats going to be weird seeing him with a different gear brand. I havn't been following alot of the Nationals this year so I don't knows who racing them or not. But you also got to remember Austin Stroup is going to full time 450 for the supercross season I do beleive, and he did a few last year and he was moving! Is Trey going to 450 for SX? Also you can't forget about Windham, if he could start out like the end of the season last year he could be a title contender! And also Short, the guy is very consistant, and sometimes thats what wins championship. The 2010 SX should be insain, Lites and 450. Suzuki - Dungey Kawi - RV Yami - Stewart Honda - Windham/Short..? KTM - Alessi
What about Grant, is he still on Yami?

The rumor of Chad and Roger at KTM is real. Alot of sources are saying Pourcel could be heading to the Red semi. As far as the other riders most are staying put with a current contract. I read that Brett Metcalf may be Dungey's teamate over at Suzuki. Andrew Short I havent seen anything, his contract is up with Honda after the outdoors. JGR has been talking with Davi Millsaps though.

just got an update on my supercross.com app that says chad reed and kawi terminate contract.
Former AMA Supercross Champion and AMA MX Champ Chad Reed & Kawasaki racing terminate relationship Friday, 10 September 2010 23:52
Chad Reed, the 2004 & 2008 AMA Supercross Series Champion, and 2009 AMA 450 Motocross Champion, and racing team Monster Kawasaki, have decided to end their relationship together.
Below courtesy of Kawasaki:
Irvine, Calif. -- Today, Monster Energy Kawasaki and rider Chad Reed have mutually agreed to end their relationship.
"Monster Energy Kawasaki would like to thank Chad Reed for being a part of our team for the 2010 AMA Monster Energy Supercross, an FIM Championship and the Lucas Oil AMA Motocross Series. Reed was a valuable member of our program scoring one win and multiple podium finishes aboard his Monster Energy Kawasaki KX450F. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors".
What does this mean for us, the fans? What can we expect from Reed, and Kawasaki, in the future? Time will tell

Hey guys, Great Topic! LoL this is exactly the reason why i came on here to post today So here is some of the things I know, and the things I have been hearing: Know: 1. Reed signed with Honda and One industries riding gear. (There are pictures of him on his twitter page.) 2. RV is signed with Kawi, and JS7 is signed with L&M Yamaha. 3. Canard has a 450 Honda ride. What I have heard from sources: 1: Millsaps will be riding Yellow 2. Word is that Pourcel is already signed with Honda because Honda was willing to caugh up the $4 Million for a 2 year contract plus bonuses. (So team Honda is: Canard, Reed, Pourcel) - Also, this would make since for the reason being that Canard and Pourcel have been so friendly with each other. 3. So I have been hearing Rumors ever since it was anounced that DeCoster was going to KTM that Dungey and his mechanic Mike Gosslar were going to KTM as well... KNOWING that Dungey has another year on his Suzuki contract, I brushed it off as a simple rumor. It has been confirmed that Suzuki has not yet paid Dungey his SX title Bonus or his MX title bonus, and that this is enough to get Dungey out of his Contract with Suzuki for breaching the contract. My source tells me that it is looking very likely that Dungey and his machanic will be at KTM with Decoster for the 2011 SX season. 4. Rumor also has it that Alessi may not be with KTM, because DeCoster does not like Tony and his program, which is partly why Alessi is not still with Suzuki. -I know that Bret Mettcalf will not be with Gieco Honda, so he is looking for a ride. -I know that K-Dub will still be a SX only rider with Gieco. -Townly and Josh Grant are staying with their same teams, as well with Tommy and Tedesco if I am not mistaken. -I have no clue where Short and Weimer are going... -Though Rumor has it that Short will be RV2's teamate. RV wants to be Kawi's "main" rider and Kawi like's good and consistant "support" riders. (Like Ferry) Also, Big James Stewart said his son Malcolm IS turning Pro for the 2011 sx season on lites. Stewart made mention in an interview and on his show that he would get Malcom a ride with L&M, so we will see... And as far as I know Josh Hill is staying with L&M. Well that is all I have for now... On a side note, it has been 9 months going on 10 since I have been able to play Reflex... miss you guys! ;D The university that I attend has already got a PS3 in and they are waiting on the new tv to hook it up to, the workers said that the controllers will be available for check out at an hourly fee once they ge everything set up within the next month or so. Anyone thinking what I'm thinking? ;D The only problem that I forsee is track packs and profile. Since there is no "unlock" all feature, and I am not going to pay to download track packs to a PS3 that isn't even mine. I am not sure how saving things to that PS3 will go either.... But we'll see!
