So a shocker from mxgp paddock, Van De Moosdijk and Fantic factory racing parts ways before van de Moosdijks mxgp season even start.

Yes, very weird. Guess we gotta wait for a statement from #39 himself. No rumours at all?
I know he had a huge crash in Spain pre season, and proper rung his bell, and now a knee injury that he picked up at Hawkstone , i think.
Maybe he is struggling to recover from the test crash, maybe there is something else.
I wonder who will step in.
Probably Bogers...
Good call.
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
Problem : Bogers is under contract with KTM group actually.
Wasn’t he riding a Honda doing the French beach races?
There must be something else in this story.
One shot only for "le Touquet" beach race.
He's probably already in Cairo, GA
Latest rumour is that he got fired.
Press release from Star Racing coming soon...
Why? He didnt do what team wanted or something else?
Here is a link to the story...

Sounds like we wont hear details anytime soon if they are going to court. Its shame he is good rider.
Last sunday at the national in Oss he was 4th and 5th, so i don't think he is in the right GP form.
He’s a good rider, but really lived up to the hype that surrounded him coming in, with a lot of injuries etc. He’s maybe needing to reset and rebuild.
That didn't last long. Hope he finds a good home, and I hope Fantic finds a good replacement for that full factory slot.
Pit Row
Is this the GP version of Millsaps - Kawasaki? Will we ever hear why this actually happened?
Who will be new Fantic factory rider?
I heard Gainluca Facchetti was sniffing around the paddock.
Bogers has already tested the bike.
Roan to HRC fill in for fernandez.
Heard his name coming around on a few teams now, for him “lucky” that there a multiple possible fill in rides at the moment.
There are also some wild rumors going around why they split, don’t know if those are true.
One thing for sure if he fills in somewhere, he needs to preform and gets results straight away because eyes are on him.
Lack of effort is what the team owner said is the reason.
Roan is a perfect example why the age rule sucks. The guy podiumed like 10 GP's but never won and now he has to race MXGP. Imo he will follow guys like Jacobi, Sterry, Beaton, Mewse, Boisrame etc. etc. and be out of MXGP full time in a year or 2.
Not sure what we gain by pushing guys like him in MXGP when we don't have 40 riders at the gate in mx2.
It's a World Championship so I don't think there should be any rule but if there has to be why not make it a win or points/Championship threshold to move them up .
Absolutely.
Totally agree, remember like the early/mid 2000s. When guys like Bartolini/Eggens ect who where in the 30s dropped down to the mx2 class to race and compete.
Yeah that age rule never made sense to me.
