On the latest episode of the Pulp show. Steve asked Justin Barcia if he’d heard the rumours regarding his team and Rockstar Husky. Justin answered that he’d heard but didn’t know anything. What is Steve referring to?

The article mentions Farres will move on, any idea who he races for next year? Was hoping he got more of a shot, but injuries…

I have no idea.

Sure hope Troy sticks around in professional racing in some capacity. Guys a legend and it’s hard to find anyone who will say anything bad about him. I still have daydreams of the TLD Hondas.

The Husky team has two semis and TLD owns his semi... Basically, if KTM decides to take GasGas in-house, they'll need to put GasGas in one of those rigs as it's too late to order a new one from Featherlite and have it here in time for 2025. KTM group does have their old hospitality rig from the Red Bull KTM team (they got a new one mid-way through last season), which they could put back into service if needed.

Husky's hospitality semi is actually a race-spec trailer, so it would be very easy to switch its' role back and put GasGas in it.

This makes sense with the economy. All wallets are getting tight right now. I’ll bet TLD either has to cave to the demands or wait for Ducati if that is on the table.

Same manufacturer, same bike design, same semi, different stickers = different team? 
 

KTM group is gasgaslighting us.

This whole thing seems really stupid and a serious waste of advertising dollars. The Pierer Mobility Group should run 2 brands in Supercross and Motocross and then have the 3rd brand run a fully funded effort in off-road. For example, run KTM and Husky in SMX and then let GG do the bidding in the off-road segment. Currently, they are cannibalizing dollars and resources to run teams against each other, doesn't seem smart to me, but I guess I'm not the one in charge. I don't see how the top boss (Decoster) can be without a doubt wanting the KTM team to be the title favorite, all the while hiring and funding the effort for Husky and GG with everyone knowing they are the red headed stepchild. I cant wrap my head around it.

They currently have 3 450’s/250s that compete for sales with very small differences. Explain that one too while you’re at it.

I am most curious to see who takes on the Ducati program. 

HEP? TLD? CLUB? 

Or do we see one of the teams who exited the sport recently put a program back together?

It will almost certainly be an east coast based team as shipping is far easier.

How about a Factory connection Ducati team?   That would be cool to see.    I think that TLD and Ducati's images work very well together though. Other than being on the wrong coast.

HEP and ClubMX are both with their current manufacturers through 2025. 

Ducati is expected to join in 2026.
