Lata had some talkings with other teams, but he don’t want to move from Italy. As HRC is from Gariboldi, I think there’s a big chance that he will end up there.
Looks like it will be Guadagnini or Forato on the Ducati next year
Kevin Horgmo stays with his current team for 2025.

Kevin Horgmo has extended his contract with Ship to Cycle Honda Motoblouz SR for an additional year. Horgmo is having a strong debut season in the MXGP class and is currently eighth in the standings. Despite having several other offers, Horgmo will remain with his current team and will do everything he can to climb the standings in 2025.
Read the press release below:
KEVIN HORGMO WITH TEAM SHIP TO CYCLE HONDA MOTOBLOUZ SR IN 2025
Best rookie in the MXGP class this season and currently eighth in the FIM Motocross World Championship, Kevin Horgmo will stay next season with team Ship To Cycle Honda Motoblouz SR!
Never really easy to move from the MX2 class to the MXGP, but Kevin Horgmo did a perfect season so far and thanks to his great results (he celebrates in the Netherlands its tenth Top 10 MXGP result within sixteen rounds) he had several options for next season. But the young Norwegian, who will turn 24 in September, choose to continue with Josse Sallefranque. “I'm very happy to stay here, it's a good team for me and they helped me to adapt to the 450. The goal now is to build on that and improve next season, with similar or even better results at the GP's and to fight for the French title. It's good leaving in South of France and training with Yves (Demaria), he really helped me and we had a good winter which help me going to the season; on the races we have a good input and he helps a lot for the bike settings if I have some difficulties. We are always training together between the races, it helps a lot to make it fun; it's not a problem to work alone, but it's nice to be training with a group of people who have the same goals” says with his eternal smile Kevin who got another top 10 result last weekend.
Coach of the motocross riders of the team, Yves Demaria is looking forward to pursue this fruitful collaboration. “It's great to continue working together, as it's always difficult to work only one year with a rider. Kevin improves at each training session, each race, he has a good connection with all the team members, goes training with passion, and the goal of course was to continue with him. Some other teams with bigger budgets than us approached him, and we are proud that he preferred to continue with us who do everything possible to ensure that our riders have all the tools to perform. I wasn't surprised by his results this season, I know his potential as I see what he do when he trains, but I must say that he still surprised me in the mud races.”
Manager of the team that he creates a few years ago, Josse Sallefranque is of course delighted to continue working with his young, fast and smiling Norwegian. “Very happy to continue with Kevin, we did a great season together! It was not easy to keep him with us, as thanks to his great results, some other teams were interested to sign him. We had to fight and we are super happy to sign him. He will approach the 2025 season with one year of experience in the MXGP class, he knows everyone in the team, he knows the 450 Honda perfectly, all the tools are there to perform even more. A big thank you to all our partners who are fully behind us, and who allow us to race at the highest level and to make their colors shine on all continents!”
Mathis Valin to Kawasaki Factory in MX2 next season.

Who’s running that team? Kawasaki Europe/Japan or it being run under another team?

So, I've checked the current top 25 of both classes. If I am correct, these riders are still free agents or deals are not announced yet (ranked from P1 to P25)
MXGP
Vlaanderen (Yamaha objective top5), Seewer (Ducati rumour), Guillod, Jonass, Bonacorsi (Fantic rumour), Guadagnini (Ducati rumour), Pancar (probably continues with own setup), Paturel, Toendel, Gifting, Watson, Koch, Ostlund, Monticelli, Van Doninck (rumours of JM being EMX only), Spies, Forato (Ducati rumour)
MX2
Haarup (Kawasaki MXGP rumour), Zanchi (not sure if he had 2 year deal), Oliver, Prugnieres, Walvoort, Chambers, Braceras, Rossi, Karssemakers, Mikula, Ambjorson, Osterhagen, Valk (signed at KTM group), Lata (signed at KTM group)
Fantic are only running two riders, Glenn and Brian, for next year.
I've heard reliably that Mewse will join SS24 KTM for one last shot at MXGP next year, so let's see if that transpires... I was wondering if Herlings would help him in some way (maybe as someone to ride with/hang out with) given that they seem to have hit it off while racing together in Britain. That may have helped Mewse's decision. I'm purely speculating on that part though.
Allright, there were some talks of Bonacorsi being added to the team, as Yamaha would be Geerts, Reneaux and Vlaanderen. Bonacorsi back to MX2 then?
SS24 KTM with Mewse would be a great way for him to be back in the paddock. He obviously only did two GPs this year (Lommel 14-17, Arnhem 24-14) - but he definitely has the talent and speed. Also eager to know what Dixon will do next year.
Anyone has something about F&H? I've heard that they could take a year off, would be a shame as it was once a team of 4 riders (Moosdijk, Jacobi, Sterry, Pootjes)
Wasn’t Everts rumored to go to Kawi too?
Haarup might end up at Standing.
SS24 wont have Conrad on the team.
Rumor I heard was that F&H would be on Suzuki next year.
From my understanding, Everts was offered the Kawasaki spot, but didn't want to develop the bike.
Mxmag reported that Riley racing would be back in mx2 fulltime with Tom Guyon.
Vlaanderen and Factory Yamaha for 2025 : done deal.
Bonacorsi could return to MX2 category with Fantic...
Rossi with KTM group too for 2025 (probably with Nestaan Husky).
Suzuki?
Dont know about f&h, it just looks like a team with no direction and trending downwards
Yes, also talked with other brand(s). But he has a KTM deal.
Lata is a free guy if I’m correct.
Pit Row
Guillem Farres back to the GP paddock but this time with Factory Triumph in MX2, acording to MX1Onboard
Weren't they supposed to run Honda's MX2 program this year? I remember reading that they were switching to Honda this year, but I guess the deal fell off, and that's why they run blacked out Kawasaki's.
Interested about FH Suzuki rumour, is Suzuki Japan behind this? Could that mean there is, hopefully, a new RMZ in the works?
Strong rumour, yes. Vohland is talking with Triumph too (world championship).
Everts maybe with Nestaan Husqvarna... And Lata with HRC Gariboldi : done deal.
Probably a year-off in 2025 for F&H...
Vohland already has a contract with Club, according to the team.
True.
And Jonass will be Febvre teamate in 2025 (KRT).
Does Benistant have to move out of MX2 next year?
Benistant will ride in 2025 his last year in MX2 with factory Yamaha.
From the latest dixon interview on gatedrop it sounds like dixon will stay kawi & keep the same 3 riders
Sounds like perfect match with that description.
Let’s say triumph wants to sign him & buy him out of his club contract? That’d be wild! Curious which one vohland would prefer. Factory mx2 racer or satellite team US mhmmm
