We've recently been heard that Alexandr Tonkov could not get out of Russia due to passport issues and that the Wilvo Yamaha Team should end his contract. They are now searching for a rider to take his place and it seems like it's gonna be Arnaud Tonus.
In fact, the rider from Switzerland and Pro Circuit parted ways at the end of the seasonn and Tonus found himself with no rides for 2017 and yet decided to race the USGP of Glen Helen and was also selected (with Valentin Guillod and Jeremy Seewer) to represent his country at MXON. His results at the GP ((9/13/7) inculding the qualifying race) and at the MXON ((4/4/8/) also including qualifying) were enough for him to find a place back in MXGP for next year in the Wilvo Yamaha team, alongside multi-GP winner Shaun Simpson from Great Britain.

Would have been cool to see him get another chance but Mitch isn't to blame, really

I just know he wasnt at home since he left europe two years ago.
And he wasnt training that much due to his eppstein-barr-virus he had, because he was not able to do more physically ...
Even i would liked it to see him race in US because i personally think he has all you need to be succesful there, im looking forward to see him racing in persona here in europe.
