I’m really not sure why everyone assumes Chase would be #2 to Jett. He’s winning races and makes more money, and if he stays at Honda will be making a lot, lot more than Jett.  I’m pretty sure if he stays, he’s the man there. 
 

 And by the way, Yamaha entered the room.

True, but how many riders re-sign this early?  It happens, but in a contract year they usually don't until middle of outdoors or later.  It certainly seems like a letter of intent to KTM was signed, but nothing 100% confirmed yet.  It's entertaining though for sure.

Am I missing something on Tomac? Everything I've heard him say makes it seem like he's pretty much done after SX this year. He's said he won't rule anything out, but it's always followed by "a lot of thing are going to have to change to make that happen.", and Matthes claims when he's asked him about the SMX playoffs, he's shown zero interest.

Genuine question, What makes you say he's making more money than Jett?

Or you know... The same Chase on a different bike.

The only reason bike brand/team changes seemingly invigorate riders is becuase it's a self fulfilling prophecy.

Hondas rider management is even worse than KTMs if you look back at all the big names they have kicked to the curb. I’m not sure what’s wrong with Hondas management but they are retarded.

For sure Honda is paying him more than Jett but with other endorsements and Jett getting win and championship bonuses, I wouldn't be surprised if Chase and Jett are in the same ballpark.

I believe Uptite was referring to Honda salary. But I wouldn't be surprised is Chase's gear deals are more than Jett's as once again, he is in the premier class. 

Jett probably does kill him in donut sales tho. 

 

I don't know shit though. Is Jett even clearing what JG was in the Factory Connection days? Matthes has said he was in the 800k range from FC.

I have zero insight to his Honda salary, but I would guess it’s over that. Knowing what I know about a few guys with ZERO race wins or championship, I’m really confident in saying Honda pays him more then that.

I can't remember when they signed and re-signed, generally winning a championship will kick in a clause for the next season to be bumped up like what happened with Webb at KTM?
