Third place finisher last weekend, Finnish-Estonian Harri Kullas will finish the season with Wilvo Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing, replacing the injured Aleksandr Tonkov.
Actually pretty harsh for Kullas. He was a big talent in the MX2 the past years, but got injured a lot so he couldn't perform on full strength. He had to take a step back, and had to buy himself into a team (Honda Gariboldi and Sahkar KTM in 2013). Since 2014 he rides in the Maxxis Championship. He got a unique chance last weekend and got a podium straight away (on a track that suits him). If he continues riding well from now on I'm afraid it won't help him that much as he has to move over to MXGP next year because he will be "too old" for MX2.
Another proof the 23 years of age-rule just doesn't work.

I caught up with him in Latvia to discuss the new deal and his time racing the British Championship, if anyone's interested.

Guillod would be cool for another MX2 year as well
