Any news on where Tommy Searle will be next year?

Staying with DRT, another Kawasaki team, or a different brand entirely?

Can't find it now but I'm pretty sure I've read Searle and Brylyakov are staying with DRT and the team is staying with Kawi. They were also looking to sign a third rider.

EDIT: Darian Sanayei has signed with DRT to ride MX2 in 2017.

Valentin Guillod AMA 2017?

If he doesn't get a decent offer for mxgp (remember all factory seats are taken), he wil try to get a deal in the States.

Here's hoping Dixon makes some long needed changes. The last few years they built some shitty bikes, breaking all the time.

That would surprise me. He will find a better ride in Europe. 2015 is long gone and there's too many good guys still looking for rides in the US.

Do we know what brand MCR will be on for SX? Hondas I'm assuming? That would mean they have to develop the new '17 450 from scratch or race a year old bike, which Mike certainly never cares to do.

I would have though Mike would like to ride a KX450 in '17 SX since he just spent all summer on one, testing with a factory squad.

The problem I have heard with RCH, is there is no major sponsor on board for next year. No sponsor, no team.

They lost a couple of major sponsors, RAM trucks and Sycuan casinos, last year, who still haven't been replaced. Awkward to see a championship bike with a blank swingarm, not to mention the front fender arch where Sycuan formerly appeared.

I know, smart, and wealthy people don't part with their money, but if they wanted to keep RCH going while new sponsorship could be secured, they could fund the team for awhile.
This team and its success, should be able to find sponsors and not fold. Unless it's just not in their hearts to keep racing and be a crucial part of the sport.
+1
They could find new sponsors even if they arent there right now
I agree if they dont its because there Heart isnt in it!

They won't be afraid to show up on the 16 bike if they haven't got the 17 figured out.

"Heart isnt in it!" pun intended right? P!nk could fund the team from the royalties she makes off her least popular song on Spotify. Maybe they will bring in covergirl in as a sponsor.

Valentin Guillod AMA 2017?

If he doesn't get a decent offer for mxgp (remember all factory seats are taken), he wil try to get a deal in the States.
IMO ,what Guillod did last year will effect him getting a team this year . ie refusing to go with the team and train in sand for the winter ,when that is his weakest part .I know thats why him and the team spilt . I cant see that going down well with alot of team managers . I can see him in the States ,as i think thats where he want to be .Also there seems to be a good few riders who dont like him . i heard thats why JVH89 is back on yamaha because RF461 did not want Guillod as a team mate

Oh, yeah...I heard that too. I think JGR fits his temperment...and there are not many teams that would put up with the way he's gone off on the track with Friese and stuff.

Oh, and there's one thing wrong on there (that I'll update in a second). It sounds like MAD Racing is done, and Luke Clout has been paid out the rest of his contract.

Listed is 51 fifty energy drink, but no riders. Will they still have a team? That might be a stupid question, but oh well

There are a few like that. I didn't want to carry over rosters from last season, and have no current information for them.

It's not intended as a diss on Wil. This is geared more for the 2017 season.
