Feel for JVH #89, would be high on my list of riders to sign so the fact he remains a free agent is very worrying.

Shame this MX2 age restriction is still in place because he would be perfect in MX2, was flying in the MXoD a couple of years back!

Looks like the TM Rumors were true, shame to see Max is still without a ride at the moment.

Interesting read on Revo Husqvarna, apparently factory teams are trying to secure a deal for Zachary Pichon, been in discussions with Revo but they opted to sign Alvin Östlund.

Pichon had a statement on his Instagram that he will ride for another brand in the GP's next year.

As far as JvH goes, maybe something comes up for the nationals this summer? Or maybe even Japan or Australia? He is an elite rider in the MXGP class, so riding for championships over there could be possible.

Brylyakov and Strijbos and Tim Edberg to JWR.
Swedish championship and at least the euro GPs.

This is pretty exciting but are you sure they'll make Strijbos and Brylyakov ride the Swedish championship. There's nothing for them there, money nor challenge and from what I've gathered JWR is setting up shop in Belgium for 2019.
Also quite surprised Filip Bengtsson didn't re-sign. Seems like a great fit for Bengtsson to close out his career, winning some more championships before he hangs it up.

Bengtsson choose to ride for his father-in-law at Blomsmx instead. Yes, according to clubmxstar guest Patrik Erlandsson, they're both doing the Swedish Nationals.

Tanel Leok will continue with his team. Total of 5 riders - 4 estonians and 1 austrian (factory is pushing him, not sure who he is).

Vaessen goes to Hitachi KTM UK, Mewse will be his teammate. Graeme Irwin in MXGP.

Great news about the Jerre if true! But still rumours, no? Lets wait until the official press release.

Edit: apparently he tested and approved the bike. The problem is that the team now need to find the budget to run three riders, wich is difficult nowadays. Fingers crossed!

First of all thank you for making the whole list. Question on Vaessen, has this been confirmed?

2 months ago Vaessen said to me he had a deal with 114 Honda for 2019. Don't really understand what has changed. 114 also not improving, from 2 riders (including a toprider) in '18 to just Mitch Evans in 19.

I agree. I still don’t know how he was able to pull that ride off. Does his dad have good relations there or something? I’m not saying Vialle is a bad rider, I was impressed with some of his rides this year. I just think that KTM being the ultimate team in the paddock they could have been able to get someone better. Still hope he does good!
