The only thing that surprises me is that they go mxgp & mx2.
As for Strijbos his ride, dont know if he will be replaced. It seemed like he brought his personal sponsors.

Not the same team as Husky current 250 effort.
Then after checking the results he hung around the top ten while recovering
remembering rds 3 4 5 were at Latvia 3 rounds in 2 weeks
4th in the second moto at rd7
4-8 rd8
6-7 rd10
4-8 rd11
Then broke his wrist at Spain, which he's had problems with since.. which could be worrying
I know you weren't having a go at him but just wanted to underline his impressive results in his rookie year..
But heyzuess he's gotta stay on the thing next year

Obviously Kimi Raikkonen loves his MX, and wants to run his own ship, i imagine that was difficult under the KTM umbrella, now with KHI they are the single Factory effort, they are well placed to go at it .
They have a clean slate , and Romain Febvre on the books, i dont expect them to hold back with a second rider through budget, and maybe they would benefit from a third rider to help develop the bikes.
I dont see Ice One taking Boisrame because he was at F&H , otherwise they have no dog in the fight, so far as Febvre is under contract , and they will want to pick the second rider, so i think that leaves Vlaanderen and Watson .
I still dont get the fact that Honda let Vlaanderen go, over Evans, and maybe Kawasaki will wonder why too.
That leaves Watson, who is unlucky to be out of a seat, who worked with Febvre and Vimond at Yamaha , and the family have history with the team with Nathan, when they ran him on a third bike. I know they were keen to keep him, but budget from Husqvarna wasnt forthcoming to do it, KTM were bursting at the seams with riders, and they didnt need a third rider at Husky,
We will know soon enough.
The mistake was not picking up the checkbook and sign guys like Desalle, Paulin or Anstie.
Monticelli goes JM Honda
Any guy nailing top 10 scores on non factory bikes, is bloody decent, its a deep field, and when you have 15 riders capable of finishing 6-10, on any given day, every one is a start away from a top 6 , or a bad start away from 16th.
As it stands now you have
Herlings
Gajser
Febvre
Prado
Cairoli
Seewer
All capable of winning a race.
Then
Coldenhoff
Jonass
Then unlikely but there anyway
Lupino
Then you have the next group
Vlanderen
Bogers
Watson
Olsen
And then
Jacobi
Van Horebeeck
Van Doninck
Paturel ( who was decent end of season)
and then
Forato
Jasikonis
and the rest.
Dont forget we only had one Honda and one Kawaski for half a year , who you would expect to be where Condenhoff is.
So on form 7-10 is a good result , for anyone who isnt in the top 8 names on that list.
And its interesting to note, Boisrame DNF'd 4 of the 10 races he started and was beaten by Dylan Wright in the 5 race points battle they had.
Also fair to assume that he was asked to get out there and give support to Febvre, and not tug about in 15th 'to learn the bike' . His MX2 form has been patchy to say the least, he wasnt doing much this season pre injury, in what is a less than deep MX2 field.
Pit Row
Keen to see him Healthy again. top 10 rider and was battling around the top 5 pretty consistently
Anyways, it will be very interesting to see what he can do on the 450.
