Steve Matthes is reporting that Malcolm Stewart has signed with factory Kawasaki for 2027 and he will be doing outdoors as well!
Does this mean Chase Sexton is leaving with Garrett Marchbanks expected to stay after his strong outdoor performance?
Let’s see what it means for Kawasaki’s highest profile rider – it might be another Jorge Prado situation repeating itself! Sexton himself is hoping to be back on the bike prepping for the 2027 Supercross season in October, so we might not have long to wait until we find out.
