Yes, I daresay he'd be a demanding individual, but hell, he wouldn't have acheived what he did, without being so.
The next logical step for him was to be a Team Owner - he'd done the rest.
He seemed to be made use of / hung out to dry by Suzuki. Sylvain Geboers got out of it, and took Everts ( and his backers, if any) money, at just the right time. Perhaps, he saw the writing on the wall? Suzuki ( and other manufacturers) have done many questionable things with regards to Racers and Teams, over the years, and Everts was just the latest in a long line. At times, the accountants, rule. Well, they always do.
Jacky Martens seems to be the latest long time, high profile participant in the sport, to be left hanging. I really do hope he and his people remain in the sport.
tho lots of great talent goes by the wayside cause they are freespirits and wont kiss ass.
It makes it easier to deal with and get on in life.

That's 16, not really sure if Cervellin has been announced though and don't know the makes for Gebben & SM action And there will be another HRC rider (Evans?), likely van Horebeek at Motobluez, a 2nd Gebben i would think, and i would expect Lieber and Anstie both getting a full time ride. So something like 20-21 full time rides?
That still leaves Vlaanderen, Sterry, Simpson, Bogers, Tixier and Searle looking for a ride.
About Tixier, he did a video with motoverte yesterday or a couple days ago, he is happy where he is at, so it is highly probable he will stay at VHR KTM. It is a small team, a bit like for Van Horebeek, so I hope they get some factory support.
I would add Paturel to the list. If i remember correctly he has been injured plus got the epstein barr this year, but he can run between the top 10/top 15 too.
Lots of fast riders looking for a ride still, this year in particular because 6 or 7 mx2 riders are forced to move up.
Did he retired with BOS going belly, balls and buckaroos up?
