Really don't know, but as someone said RV can pick his teammate IF he decides to come over and he would like to have Rattray as teammate.

With HRC's recent push on MX I'd expect them to maybe field another 250 ride alongside Tim Gajser?

Nagl got Husky offer was word at pits in Sweden with Rattray/Ferris.
Frossard and Searle Kawasaki.
Yamaha might bring another factory bike also and rider could run from DP19 tent..
CLS Kawasaki out from 450 so Searle will go Factory Kawasaki or Yamaha?

We know that Herlings signed for two more years so that's not a rumor at this point, and Tonus to PC was announced in a PR as well.

RV racing the GP's is about as likely as him racing the nationals this summer.

There is only 1 reason RV would race the GP's, and that is to take it to AC222 and be able to say he basically won every championship.

Maybe its the supercross season thats burning RV out. Most of his training and racing would be geared towards that with basically 17 races in a row or whatever they do now. I can see how a year in Europe doing MX would be a fun way to finish off a stellar career, see some cool places and race a different group of people.

I hope Todd Waters can land himself another ride somewhere,his results were getting better before his injury, would be a shame for him to be one and done due to something that was out of his control pretty much.

Glen Coldenhof has a 2 year deal with Rockstar Suzuki. 250 this year and 450 in 2015.

I edited the first post a bit, so there are rumors and confirmed stuff. Gariboldi Honda will have two riders, but don't know if it's Yamamoto. His results haven't been too impressive.

Coldenhoff 2 year deal with Suzuki Europe, mx1 in 2015 with 204 Desalle/strijbos bike. Suzuki MX1 stays the same with Desalle and Strijbos.

i was told Todd Waters had a three-year deal, which definitely surprised me.... and i'll be interested to see how solid that commitment is over the next few months

That seems strange. You don't see many 3 year deals, especially for 'unknowns' like Waters. I reckon he's done enough to deserve another ride though, he was sitting in 7th till he got injured

There's a Frossard/HVA rumor also. Not sure AT ALL. That's why it's a rumor.

You assume RV would join a Kawasaki team if he did GP's....be interesting if Honda made a bid to get him

I was under the impression that Steven Frossard had a two year deal, maybe not though. Christophe Charlier may race out of the DP19 awning on a 450F next year. Both Bobryshev and Tonkov have been linked to Red Bull KTM, although that is nothing more than a rumour at this stage.

I too really hope that Todd Waters finds a good deal for next year - it sounds like Husqvarna are interested in keeping him. I think he did enough in the time before his injury to justify a second shot.

Nagl refused HRC's offer cause it was a one year contract. They badly want Herlings and want to make room for him for 2016.

A lot of candidates on the Husky's list. Add Frossard, Searle and Nagl, don't know about their current riders...

Interesting. There is very little talk surrounding de Dycker, hopefully he lands somewhere good.

Based on the fact that he's still under contract with Kawi for 2015, I think it's safe to assume that he will be on one if he races, no matter where it is.

That, and Monster would probably be a driving force behind the move if it happens.

Yes,the guy can haul,shame he's pretty much seen possibly this last year on such a great ride suffer due to injury.Philippaerts has understandably suffered with the loss of that Yamaha ride,de Dycker may find himself in the same position
