Press release said third rider will be announced shortly, so that’s probably Glenn.

Good to see they are making room for him at the top table. Where Paulin and Tonus end up will be interesting.

I wish there was no age limit in MX2 and guys like Paulin and Tonus could end up at a factory team in MX2

Does Vlaanderen continue with Gebben Yamaha? I could see him on Kawasaki alongside Febvre.

Yep, he said on the MX Vice post race podcast after Lommel that if he has the chance of racing the GPs with the team he will do it.

My guess would be a return on green. French team, French teammate, and the team where he had his best years of his career.

Not sure it ended very well, as far as i remember. And GP and RF aren't the best of friends. BTW, that's a cool vintage pic you have for avatar.

I've been searching for hours, but apparently during the days of Parker, Schmit and Moore there weren't any red plates awarded yet. Wink

Awesome news regarding the Gas Gas 250 team, i can't wait to see what Gifting does with a full pre-season with team/bike. And Langenfelder should also be able to take a step forward considering how young he is, there is a lot more potential in him.

Great for both of them. Gifting grabbed his chance with both hands, and Längenfelder's future looks bright aswell. How old is he, 15, 16?

Shame for Sydow though. He did pretty good aswell before he got injured (twice).

I think Simon turned 16 this year.

Yeah too bad for Sydow for basically losing a factory ride due to injury. Hopefully he gets something good lined up.

Signing a 3rd guy gives AJ all the time for his recovery without the team having to worry they only start with one guy.

To be honest, that's also the only reason i'd sign Bogers as a 3rd rider if i'm factory Husqvarna. He has been doing good lately, but good for a non-factory team, not as in that is the guy the factory needs to make a 3rd ride available for.
Yeah ok he is getting some top 10 lately but all these riders like Vlanderen Tixier getting top 10 is in my opinion based on injuries for Top guys for example Jasikonis Herlings Coldenhoff Jonass Simpson, and like Bogers is been around 15teen all seasson.
I think GasGas alongside Jonass is his best place possibe, cant see Husky sing as a 3rd rider
He has same good sposnors too, like HSF (previous mx2 team)

Must be a crazy situation to sit in from Sydow his side. Got injured, stayed out for the rest of the year and get ready/healthy again for 21. Then they take 2 fill in riders, not really big names who you tought first who would set the world on fire.

Youre GasGas 21 deal still looked good till that point until Gifting starts getting another gear and getting impressive results wich lead into give him a contract. Wich is also really deserved en well earned.

Then they sing Langenfelder over Sydow just because of age.

Tough situation for the kid. Hopefully a decent team picks him up.! The kid can ride for sure and has some good potential if he can stay injury free..

I think Sydow will feel a bit annoyed, vut will admit that Gifting delivered.
