Still only one MX2 rider at Husky? No one next to Anstie?
I'm not sure, as far as I'm aware the Anstie deal is pretty much done, they may stick a younger, cheaper rider on a second bike but that remains to be seen. I always think it's a little risky only running one rider with how common injuries are nowadays

What about Kullas? 3rd in Latvia and he had just 2 days on the bike, he has to ride MXGP next year because of the age limit. Will Wilvo Nestaan put 2 450 bikes out there next year?

I really hope so, I think Jacky Martens was looking at the possibility at bringing on Ben for this season, but perhaps saw it as a bit of a gamble as he didn't have much or any experience at that level. He certainly won't done himself any harm in the past few rounds. He's the youngest in the class, and I think if you look at how he's doing this season compared to how Jonass did last year, it's pretty comparable

Next year we will be even more important for Yamaha, doing their development, but our focus will also be in MX2, and we have signed another rider who has won moto’s this year, but we can’t make that announcement until the contract with his current team is over. We want to respect that.”- Standing Construction Yamaha manager.

So, there is only two who fits description- Anstie and Ferrandis. Hmm...

They say 'who has won moto's this year' There are only a few riders who won more than 1 moto this year. Herlings, not gonna happen, Gajser, signed by Honda for 2015/2016 so that only leaves us Max Anstie. Easy as that. Ferrandis and Tonkov only won 1 moto this year...

And Coldenhoff back to Standing is never gonna happen. He was supposed to stay there and turn yellow together with Standing, but Mathys the teamowner skipped the whole plan last minute. Despite al the things he promised Glenn (and mechanic Franky) he left him without a team at the end of the season. Luckily Suzuki wanted to keep Coldenhoff and they brought him to Rockstar Suzuki Europe. So Coldenhoff back to Standing, no fucking way.

Last time Standing raced Suzuki's was back in 2011 I believe. When Coldenhoff raced with Standing they used KTM's (2013). In 2014 they still used KTM's and Coldenhoff went to Suzuki Rockstar Europe. Now Standing races Yam's, so I don't get your point, Coldenhoff wouldn't be on Suzuki if he had stayed with Standing.

I heard that Rinaldi would field a 3 man team next year with JvH, Febvre and Guillod. I think if any of those guys leave the team it will be Guillod. I can't see Yamaha getting rid of Jerre after the season he had in '14, and I don't know why he would want to leave Yamaha and join a team that currently has an uncertain future

Gatedrop mentioned : It also is likely that Guillod will stay with Standing Construct but on a 450 and in the MXGP class.


and also
As for Jacky Martens Husqvarna team it looks as though he will have two riders in MX2 in 2016. Max Anstie is set to move there and it is thought that Jacky wants to sign American, Thomas Covington as his team mate.

Clément Desalle is almost certain to return this weekend at the GP of Loket. After 5 weeks in recovering a damaged cruciate ligament in the left knee, our compatriot has just resumed training. "I'm not 100% yet but I not progressing step," he says. "I trained as best I could and I intend to go to Loket and try to find the best possible feeling with the bike. "

Wounded in France in June, Desalle is one of three drivers to have held the red plate this season. Today he has 163 points behind Romain Febvre and slipped in 6th position in the provisional standings.

The circuit in Loket hard soil generally succeeds rather well in Panda since it is precisely there that he won in August 2009, his first GP win before it imposed again in 2011 and 2013.

Soon confirmed in Kawasaki?
The rumors about the future of Clément Desalle have virtually disappeared from the paddock of discussions in the last two rounds. I must say it is now widely accepted that Clement will join the team Monser Energy / Kawasaki for 2016. Only the duration of his contract with the Greens is still unknown. However, it is likely that the formalization of the transfer Desalle Kawasaki is not announced before the Motocross of Nations, even before October.

Since 2009, Clement won the GP every season and it lacks only one victory to celebrate his 20th success in the premier class.

Lets get one thing straight.

If Guillod stays on Yamaha he will ride a 450 under the Standing Construct tent, not under Rinaldi tent.

Rinaldi Yamaha will be Febvre and Van Horebeek. Van Horebeek has a 2 year deal. (2015/2016) if he not choose to rip that contract apart and go somewhere else. But why would he ? He is on a bike he likes and has had success on !

The Guillod - Standing Construct MXGP - story is known/rumoured for about a month I think.

Young Belgian Brent Van Doninck signed a 3-year deal with Kemea Yamaha in MX2.

Standing construct was supposed to get factory support from Suzuki, but that didn't happen last minute. Suzuki decided to keep Coldenhoff anyway and that's how he ended up on that team for the last two years.

The rumors about Anstie going to Husqy were quite strong a few weeks ago, although I have been hearing noise about him to Yamaha too. Either way, he's been on a lot of brands the last 5 years.

Max needs a good bike in his last year before 450, god knows how much better he would have done with more reliable equipment, both husky and yamaha are excellent right now so 2016 should be a good year for him regardless which rumour is true, when it's right for him he's pretty damn fast and at the very top of the league

EMX250 team HNHF racing becomes HF racing.
Meaning Harry Nolte is pulling out of that team.

Another piece of the puzzle of Stefan Everts taking over the Suzuki team with Harry Nolte as his main technician guy.

I believe Wilvo Nestaan was supposed to be mx2 only, but had to keep Ferris because he had some kind of a deal with them/husky, and because of the age limit had to field him on a 450.

Coldenhoff is apparently in talks with KTM to join Cairoli.

I'm also interested to see who Everts will get with him to Suzuki.

in an recent interview with a ktm official about herlings for the most part, was said that herlings contract has a clause that jh will decide to 100% if he goes 450 or stays 250 for 2016. nobody else has a say plus he would not join ac222 team. jh would be under his 'own' ktm tent. they also mentioned that ktm will need to reduce there riders in future. t searle was also mentioned, as he has to prove himself to stay with the team because as of now he was not able to show his potential. it sounded almost as if ktm would leave searle go.
so ac222 and kdd (plus jh?) on ktm 450 and searle may get that spot at suzuki.
