I heard this weekend that Vlaanderen’s contract will be automatically extended if he stays top 5 in the championship.

Fantic has Bogers and Coldenhoff next year and I think they won’t add a 3rd rider.

How about Bonacorsi to Kawasaki MXGP? That guy will loose his seat when Geerts and Renaux are back I guess. Don’t know about Vlaanderen his contract, but he has probably a second year option and won’t refuse that.

Next to Bogers and Coldenhoff?

2 HRC MX2 factory riders in 2025, just unknown who the 2nd rider will be according to gatedrop. But nice news.

And 6 riders from Australia & Nze will do the Chinese round of MXGP.

Is a full factory effort as Japan is directly involved.

Anyone know who the second rider at Triumph might be with Haarup aging out of MX2?

I heard some rumours it could be Walvoort, but it seems like he is contracted in some sort with KTM

I couldn't get an exact answer, was just being told he would end up back at Fantic. Maybe for MX2, maybe at Wilvo and they add a 3rd guy, I am not sure exactly.

Bonacorsi is 21 years old. He still could ride 25’26 in the MX2 class!

Bonacorsi posted IG something like things are not going right way behind closed doors or something like that maybe he was told wont get deal from Yamaha next year?

Not sure if he still wants to do mx2 but Bonacorsi should be getting some offers for a good ride in mx2 i would imagine. He'd be an upgrade for Fantic and a decent option for the kawa and triumph factory efforts imo. Got a top 3 finish, 2 years left.

I wonder what it would mean for SB racing if he'd go to Triumph. The owner of SB is also Jens manager if i'm not mistaken.

It’s a part of the old Gebben from which I heard, van Venrooy/SF group, with maybe a second Dutch MX2 rider in there as well.

Wouldn’t surprise me then if Gebben becomes the Fantastic MX2 team with Valk and Bonacorsi then

Well he'd still be on some sort of KTM.

Valk is under KTM contract! 

Edit, you mean fantastic or fantic? As Bonacorsi was linked first to Fantic

Didn’t know that about Valk!

Most likely just one rider for Gebben.

No. Sounds like Dixon could be Fantic next year. But Valk will be on a KTM

I have the feeling that the current Fantic mx2 bikes lack some engine power, Dixon could fix that

Which mx2 riders are free agents next year?

Who will be the 2nd HRC rider?

Fantic MX2 riders (Braceras, Karssmakers and Fueri) are all facing a very difficult season actually... The 2024 bike has to do with those poor results...

Might be a long shot but could the second HRC bike go to Brodie Connolly? I know he is meant to be riding MX2 at the Chinese round

In his interview yesterday Steve sounded like the team was staying with Kawasaki.

There is a change that a current EMX250 rider will end at HRC for 2025

Ivano van erp.......

Lata.

That would make sense. Him and van Erp are the same age but Lata has been impressive the whole season.

I could see van Erp at a team like JM Honda in MX2.
