Webb to Star Yamaha after what just happened? Most likely. 

Is DF14 leaving star in 2024 ? So J Coop and Webb on Star 450"s next year.

Jett and Colt on 450 and possibly Hunter moving to 450’s soon, I would say Honda is full of 450 guys

Colt is SX only and is done after next week…so as of now they only have Jett contracted to race 450’s in 24

At this moment Ferrandis is still at Star, but he could land somewhere else.

AC and Ferrandis would be great at Kawi!

I wouldnt be surprised to see JA and MS without a factory ride in 2024… no hating!

KTM/Husky/GASGAS should get Enzo now!

Seeing he is only SX for Honda, how about Star bring back Colt to fill a second seat for outdoors?

Honda could absolutely run 3 450 riders, especially when the third rider is Japanese rider with family ties to the company. Shimoda and Hymas under the factory tent next year on 250's, see where it goes after that.

That would really suck for Nick. He’ll get another shot with a factory team though. He’s the real deal.

Pretty sure anderson signed a 2 year deal to stay at kawi I heard it on one of the shows may have been gypsy tales or pulp can’t remember

Anderson is a smart guy. He took advantage of Kawasaki’s situation, in my opinion. The list of riders to choose from was short this year…with most top players already bought & paid for. I personally see him not going to Triumph, as the rumor mill has hinted at…but doing his two years at Kawie, and stepping away.

I expect Craig will have the 450 figured out for 2024, and RJ is supposedly 250 for 2024 and 2025.

Are you suggesting Anderson is retiring after this season outdoors? 
 

(or has he re-signed for another two years at Kawi already?)

I'll bet Anderson is fielding offers from WSX for 2024.

He's raced in Australia and the seniors tour would be a good fit as his career inevitably winds down.

It is. But it's crazy that it's 250 in 25.

It should have been 250 in 24. 

And a option for 25.

Craig is contracted till the end of 24. 

Mookie just signed for 24 and 25.

So if Craig has a poor 24.

And rj wins some championships between now and the end of 24. 

Rj get the 450 spot in 25. And they move Craig on. End of 24 Craig will be 33

By that time rj will be about 29

What good would holding him back another season do?

He's a 250 title contender which has more value than him racing for 5th-10th on a 450...it's as simple as that

I would say the good would be potential multiple Championships on a 250 is what they're thinking. He can defend one year in SX right? So he's not forced out in the next 2 years. Makes sense to me. 

You seem to be forgetting about Osborne. This is exactly what they did with him.

Osborne moved up at a similar age and was a 450 MX champion after racking up multiple 250 championships. It has worked for them before.

If they can not win the 250 championship they should be able to stay.
