Not sure about that but he could have been stuck here because of the travel restrictions that have been put in place. The decision to get back to the Nederlands as quickly as possible was the right choice.

Thanks for rectifying J. I just repeated what Lebles told me. Happy for Calvin that he can enjoy a bit of time off at home with his family.

Sorry for having to ask this, but does anyone know what will happen to the unfortunate vacancy at KTM for MX2?

Watson signing with factory kawi is great for BritishMX. I wonder what year deal he got think he deserves a 2 + 1 deal IMO

Gotta say that i'm slightly surprised, i would've picked Vlaanderen. But Watson is not a bad pick either!

It could have gone either way, both are great riders.

Like i said before, HRC not taking Vlaanderen to MXGP over Evans never made sense to me . He has a good ride at Gebben, will still be in the mix.

Not an easy choice and it will probably take some time to absorb the hit from the sudden loss. I can see de Wolf as a possible replacement, given he already is in the Austrian galaxy

Do they pull Everts in? Or even leave a seat empty.. they have Vialle and Guardianini.. do they need a 3rd guy?

I expect them to take their time either way.

Calvin Vlaanderen and Arminas Jasikonis confirmed for Gebben Yamaha.

Presume that leaves Brent Van Doninck out looking for a ride?!

I think Liam Everts was probably the next in line, but now still a little too early to have him in the front line

I wonder if Jacobi stays at jmhonda? I don't know who else they would get that would perform any better. I do think he has to figure out his dnfs though.

Liam was the one I thought about too. Maybe they put him under the factory tent even if he rides EMX, and have him wild card some GP’s that don’t overlap with EMX. If I remember correctly they did something like that with Prado and Hofer in the past. Who else is on a KTM deal they could pick up? Mewse, Gifting, Guyon?
With De Carli apprently going GasGas, I assume Guadagnini won’t be on an orange bike next year just like cesar said earlier.

He's racing the full MX2 world championship for Diga Procross, a learning experience.

Yes.. They are only running 2 guys.. Van Donninck has been decent, deserves a seat somewhere.

De Wolf is in a Dutch team with a Dutch owner with a good amount of money, I don’t think he will let him slip away anytime soon..

With Vialle signed a contract to go MXGP in 23 and Matti #101 going GasGas with DiCarli they have a hole to fill at KTM, normally Hofner should be next in line for the title...

Wont surprise me if they pick Everts and doing someone else to Diga. Vialle made a big step with the team, I can see Everts do the same. Makes the most sense..

From one off his last Instagram post, it didn’t sound like he was staying at JM Honda and didn’t know what the future held for him.

I know Moneychelli will go to JM Honda
