Guillod should be on Factory Yamaha if JvH moves to Suzuki.

Why? Guillod feels comfortable in his current team and wants to continue working with them. He has proven he can win GP's with that bike. No need to change your entire crew just to get a "factory" status (wich in fact he already has in MX2 now).

Personally, I think this is De Dycker's last season as a factory rider. Offcourse he's the perfect lieutenant for someone as Cairoli, but imo they will give Searle another chance and continue with 2 riders.
I'd get rid of DeDycker and Searle for VanHorebeek. Ken really did nothing this year in fact very disappointing and Searle is injury prone. Problem for Yamaha is it looks like VanHorebeek is getting his form back I'd sign him if I was Yamaha.
It seems every year Desalle is leaving Suzuki but stays maybe he need to let the negotiations be done by a manager and not himself.

Question is: If Desalle leaves, who are they going to sign to battle for the title? I'm going to get bashed overhere, but I don't see Van Horebeek winning a championship (at least not yet). Suzuki could sign Van Horebeek on a long term deal, but the last time they won a title was 2007, so my guess would be that Japan wants a title, and fast. But that counts for every manufacturer from Japan.

The thing with Kawasaki is, they're having the worst season in years, luckily wildcard rider Aranda was riding in Germany last weekend, or the green machine wouldn't have scored a single point in the manufacturers championship (wich is still considered as or even more important as a individual title for the Japanese manufacturers). That's why I guess the option of Tixier seems a good one to me, consistent and smooth rider. Even Simpson has been named to ride for Kawasaki, so there are so many options.

When Desalle decides, everything will start moving, and deals will be made fast.

More rumours:

Herlings to MXGP, but he will stay under the tent of the MX2 factory team, so not a teammate of Cairoli (in theory)
Tonkov will take Herlings' place in MX2
Pootjes to a satellite MX2 KTM-team

Van Horebeek has already been with Red Bull KTM and was apparently very hard to work with, also the reason he left KRT after only one season.

Why the fluff wouldn't they just put him on a Husky and be done with it?! It'd be better for the organisation overall to have the two heavyweights, it'd help stop any foreseeable cannibalisation of the market if you believe people will buy one on the other based on race results and then they keep both, the head guy at each team. Sure Cairoli is done soon but it'd make more sense to further build Husky with a star if only even for a few years.

Standing Construct Yamaha does not have a MX1 team. Or am i wrong? Guillod is forced to move up to mx1 next year because of his age. He will most likely be teammate with Febvre on factory yamaha.

No, Standing Construct plans to have a go in MXGP too, with Guillod. Lieber stays in MX2.

En da geleufde gij Silly



now serious

Sorry if I step on somebody's toes, Kawasaki is too much influenced by the French with CLS & KRT
The road to a professional MX career takes a lot of time, money and energy before they are ready for MXGP
If you sign French kids you know there is always a risk they make the switch to Supercross read America
are we schooling kids for the AMA or MXGP?
You can't spend your Euros more than once therefore more support to Dixon Racing & Team HNHF

If Pottjes is moved to a satellite team, does that mean they don't see him as the future for KTM?

I knew this was coming, with the exception of a few technicians
We lost some talented kids recently Tonus and Ferrandis let's hope Tixier and Febvre stay,
experience learn us 450 riders usually stay in Europe (250 riders appear to be less expensive)
that being said, a better mix from south and north is desired, agree to disagree

Pootjes on a satellite team would only be sensible if they have next to Jonass also a championship potential rider

Tixier has just said in Teuschenthal that he will stay in Europe next year (MXGP category).

Desalle and Tixer to KRT. Van Horebeek to Suzuki with Strijbos. Guillod to join Febvre at Yamaha. That's the word and looks like a done deal.

I have to admit, if this was a year ago (or 30 years ago) I didn't really give a crap about which MXGP rider was riding for which team, most of the names I just knew from seeing online results (but not really being interested regardless of who did what).

I will give RV credit for generating more interest (from USA fans at least)- who would not have followed so closely prior to him trying out the MXGP series.

It didn't go as hoped for him and his team, but it did (at least in my eyes) gain a lot of credibility and respect for the talent and excitement of the MXGP series. I now look forward to watching each race, both classes, and enjoy the racing.

The future is actually looking better (from a fans perspective) than ever for MXGP, up until this year all it seems everyone ever talked about was how Luongo was destroying the series. I am hooked.

Cool. I hope Desalle gets along with the green bike. He deserves a title so bad...

I actually enjoy MXGP racing more than the AMA series, the racing is closer and more intense in my imo. RV or no RV i will be watching on stream. Sucks because of all the injuries but you still have great riders out there and 3 guys battling for a champioship with that said GO FEVBRE!!!

It's really great that RF has stepped right up, there is still a title to be won and lost, and there's openings on the podium and the top 5 for others. Injuries suck ass out of title fights but it gives the others opportunities.

so if Desalle and Tixier are racing for KRT next year , we could end the speculation for RV racing another year in 2016 .... i hoped he would stay another year , not ganna happen this way

I'd say that's a safe bet Richard and has been for a while, I'm glad the Desalle KRT deal has been done, now the rest can start moving around, he was the cornerstone in all this IMO.
