Form what I have read from all the moto sites.

Barcia and Pieck to JGR... I wonder that how that is going to work since those two butted heads a couple of times during the supercross season.

Team Red Bull KTM - 450, Dungey & Wilson. 250, Marvin and Justin Hill

Honda - Canard and Seely. Seely is a way better supercross racer, that is why he is on the team. That deal was done before the SX season ended.

Rockstar Husky - Jason Anderson and heavy rumors of Jake Weimer as his teammate. Osbourne, Davilos, Savagty on 250's

Monster Kawasaki - Millsaps and Hahn... To my understanding Hahn is a done deal there

22 Motorsports - Reed and Grant

RCH Suzuki - Roczen and Tickle

Yosh Suzuki... No word or rumors there yet.

TLD KTM... Malcolm Stewart, McElrath, Nelson

These are my exact picks! The reason why nobody is hearing anything about Mookie is the same reason nobody is hearing anything about Reedy- He isnt switching teams. To me anyways, it would be dumb for the TLD boys to set Mookie free. Perhaps they keep him for 2015 to see how he fares with the Katoom, and if things work out as good or better than they did with the Hondas, they keep him. If not, the set him loose. It would be neat to see him under the Factory Yosh Suzuki tent next to big bro James, although I think its unlikely to happen.
I would love to see Mookie on a 450 during SX next year. I hope TLD has plans for 450 SX instead of an all 250 team.

If I do recall, Mookie said in his article in TWMX that he will be on the fo-fatty all of 2015.

This is one of those things that might seem trivial...but Yosh USA just followed Roczen and Baggett on Twitter. Could point to BB4 going to Geico.

Looking like a solid possibility (Baggett)

Either geico or Troy Lee from what I've heard.

That was my point though...doesn't TLD run FMF? It seems that Yosh just followed new Yosh riders.

Dean has proven he can win in SX and outdoors. Not many riders can do both or even have a title... I think RD knows what he's doing by now.

I'll take BB4 on a TLD KTM all day long. Once that guy starts hunting..he will run you down. Just gotta get him to start hunting a little more.

Hahn to Kawasaki ?? Where did that come from ? I don't think he deserves that one, but I guess it's possible.

The Wilson deal has me perplexed too. I just don't see him setting the world on fire anytime soon. I just don't think he has the work ethic it takes to make it with the big boys. He had a rough enough season with the lil guys.

I hope Wilson proves me wrong but I just don't get why he would get a factory ktm ride over other guys. Yes he has talent and he has had injuries, but unless they got him real cheap it seems like a very risky move. Time will tell and I hope he does well, just surprising is all.

As for team two two, that has to be a back door you bring your own sponsors deal like in formula 1. Reed has always said he would only get someone else if that other rider also has a shot at winning. I would love to see josh turn it around but how many shots will this guy get over guys constantly beating him? Other guys beat him and people say oh josh had a bad day, month, year. Then Josh does well once or twice and they say yeah that's his talent or whatever. Perception is a hell of an agent in this sport.

Yeah, he won a heat race. So did Mike Alessi.

People say oh but he showed he has raw speed to be a factor. Well what about Pourcel? He's definitely faster than Wilson in SX, not to mention he has 2 more titles than Wilson and has come close to winning the outdoor title twice (something Wilson hasn't been able to do).

Just seems like Roger is usually much more picky about who he contracts than that.

Like I said though, hope he proves me wrong.
wilson won 250 Outdoor Title in 2011

So all the recent chatter has been him going to TLD or Geico on the 250's and you have him going to factory Suzuki? Mmmmkay

Wow, I didn't see that coming.... I figured they'd keep Metcalfe, since RV IS going to the GP's after all !!

I like Hahn, I just don't see him on a "Factory ride" just yet. I hope if it does happen, that he can do well. Maybe they'll keep all three of them ?

As crazy as that sounds, IF Stewart is somehow banned from SX next year, I can see Baggett on that bike. Although this is the first time it's been brought up, anything could happen at this point. They will NEED a solid rider, if James sits it out or retires.

I agree they are going to need someone 'if' JS7 is out...but I've never seen Baggett on a 450. He's shopping for a 250 ride. Would be a major curve ball for sure!

All I have heard is BB4 going to Yosh Suzuki because JS7 may not be able to race SX.

It's a combination of help from Motosport.com and Kawi. I think he'll be under his own tent unless someone decides to pick him up. I wouldn't think that would happen until after the MEC.
I hear Hanny is going to be pitting out of the MotoSport.com rig that Peick pitted out of for SX this year and getting bikes/support from those guys.
