Yeah he had a 2 year deal and now is a free agent Would be cool to see him back with MCR or if Penrite honda manifests into a bigger effort it would be cool to see them hook him up with a 450 deal. Wondering if we will see press releases on new deals while still racing the outdoors.

Cheers Vital Village !

I know it's still early (well all things considered early) but has anyone drawn up number projections for next year? I'm curious if Ferrandis will choose a single digit number (5 or 8?) if he locks down the title this year. Haven't heard too much on the 250 side of things besides Craig moving to Star. The 450 Star Yamaha seems all but officially confirmed though, which is cool. Wondering if Ferrandis will be linked to that team or move to a KTM. Who knows, but I sure do love some silly season!

I guess we will see where DF ends up. I'm sure Yamaha has made a good offer. If I was him I would have to seriously consider if the YZ450 is a good move. Of course we don't really know what offers he has received if any. Maybe Yamaha is the only place for him to go to. Money might be very tight in SX and MX at the moment. Honda, Kawasaki and KTM have the financial resources to add a ride for him. Its going to be interesting to find out.

Quick list from what I’ve read here, heard from popular podcasts and some assumptions of my own. Feel free to add on, tell me I’m wrong etc.

450-

Star Yamaha/Factory Yamaha- Ferrandis, Plessinger, maybe Mookie or McElrath
Kawasaki- Tomac, Cianciarulo
HRC- Roczen, Sexton
JGR- Maybe Savatgy or McElrath
KTM- Musquin, Webb
Husky- Anderson, Osborne, Wilson
GasGas- Barcia

250-
Star Yamaha- Cooper, Nichols, Craig, a rookie or 2?
PC Kawasaki- Forkner, Mcadoo, Smith, Hammaker
Geico Honda- Lawrence bro’s, Mumford, Shimoda, J Martin
JGR- unknown presumably A Martin?
KTM/GasGas- Brown, Hartranft, Drake
Husky- Hampshire, Mosiman, Swoll, Robertson

Obviously these are only the factory teams, and this leaves a whole host of riders for a few teams in each division.

On the Star 250 I think you also have Ty Masterpool and Jarrett Frye.

Husky 450 team is losing one of those 3 names to another manufacture. And Gas Gas is gonna have a pleasant face running their team. those two may or may not be correlated Wink

Didn’t the Rockstar edition huskys come about because Anderson wanted the factory Edition equivalent the KTM boys had? Is GasGas going to have their own GasGas Gas edition to keep up with the .5yr models?

I like Mookie but I can't see him going to a full factory team if he won't ride outdoors. I know a few years back he had his reservations about riding outdoors (didn't he skip 250 outdoors with Geico after he wont he SX title? Please correct if I am wrong). I want to see him do well but if he isn't willing to go outdoors, he may never get a full factory ride.
