I read an article on mx Vice where it was mentioned a few days ago. They said it might consist of a rider who rode Honda this year(Cervellin?) And the other guy was involved in one of the biggest controverses this year. I can't figure this one out. Anyone with more info about this?

Happens all the time even though there are a lot of people on here who follow the GPs very closely.

The only riders with controversy this year were
Herlings
Ferrandis
Prado
Seewer

Are we even sure Martin Honda will run a hrc backed mx2 team?

Maybe we can add Tonkov to the controversy list? He is too old for mx2 though.

I believe Tonkov had a bit of controversy off the track.

Well Herbreteau and Zaragoza are out. Looks like Cervellin is the one guy, not clue who they're talking about "who was involved in perhaps the most controversial incident this year"

Julien Lieber probably doesn't have a ride until now. Would be a risky move, he could be great or the opposite, who knows?

I was breaking my brain on that one too. Cervellin was impressing me quite a bit at the opening italian rounds last year. And he had some decent rides at the mxgp's (Valkenswaard, Spain and Belgium scoring 20+ points) too. Don't know about any rider with controversial incidents this year tho. Maybe someone from the USA?

Julien Lieber from what i've heard has a good financial base behind him at home and would even consider doing a full year of GP's by himself. He did that in the beginning of his career too, along with his brother.

That's true.
But that same controversy rules him out of riding at all in 2017 so they can't be talking about him.

If I had to guess...

Honda will "re-boot" their GP MX2 effort in '18 with 2 riders on an HRC Directly Managed Team

Bernadini can be the only Guy. Was really impressive on the TM this year. Good starts and always upfront in the beginning. Everybody was talking About him and TM all the time.. I haved seen a press About him About staying with TM. All other guys in the final standings have already a deal for next year so..

They'll just survive through 2017 in some way, with an 18 relaunch being the goal with the new CRF250R that will launch at the end of 2017.

HRC will have Cervellin (confirmed already) and possibly a japanese rider in their factory MX2 team.
Team Martin will be in charge of the operations.

Maybe Toshiki Tomita, since he won the A2 title in 2015.

Well Chihiro Notsuka landing on top of Jason Anderson at the MXON would defnitely qualify as controversial incident.

So I was looking at the silly season page and saw that Notsuka got the spot. Now the controversy statement makes sense.. he was also the last person I would think of though.
