I lived for 3½ months in Netherlands this summer, the first store i went to when i had to buy food supplies was Jumbo because of Jumbo-Visma. So sponsoring international sporting events/teams does also work.
Maximilian Spies is parting ways with Kosak KTM. Wonder what his options will be? Maybe Schmicker?
Tom Guyon Announced on IG he will be on riley racing Kawasaki next year in mx2
Kay Karssemakers as his teammate.

And it seems like they didn’t part on good terms since he is not even in Spain for the last MXGP. Maybe sixty seven racing team
Bonacorsi will finally ride for Fantic factory racing in 2025 (450cc), alongside Coldenhoff and Bogers.
Guadagnini will ride for team Ducati in 2025 (450cc). Not "official", but done deal.
There's a free spot on the Honda SR team for 2025. (Guillod will not ride for them anymore).
Who will be Horgmo's teammate? Forato? Haarup? Watson? Paturel? Toendel?
🤔
Standing not keeping Forato? 2 new riders?
Money issue actually for Standing Construct...
Enlighten us
I saw somewhere that also Triumph now that the 450 is ready might at the end line up one 450 in mxgp. If that's true, I believe it will be Haarup. But im not so sure about it.
It seems to be a possibility, yes...
It's not a money issue for the team owner himself, but the budgets being 'promised' are not finalized yet. Remember that a few manufacturers f'ed him over a few times (Suzuki, KTM group), and that it seems like he is not willing to pay an extra(!) few hundred grand out of his own pocket again to make sure a guy has a ride next year.

Fortunately, we have a strong title sponsor with Standing Construct who has always provided us with what was necessary in terms of budget. However, in fact, having to work like that is not a healthy situation and not how it should be done if you want to work professionally. This year I have decided to wait until our partner(s) has made us a concrete, decent and final proposal, which unfortunately is the situation we are still in.
I wonder if Enzo Lopes could be going to the GPs?
Same question about Webster !
Its a shame about the age limit in mx2 because otherwise the Japanese MX2 rider would have been an option for a Honda team. He was pretty impressive
Webster wanted to a couple years ago on 250 but aged out
Pit Row
Maybe MXGP class ?
JH comments after last round. I would take the 1st plane tomorrow and do the same thing. At MXON interview with GB and TS100 he mentioned look at this track (Matterley) compared to the last round of gp in Spain. Got to say even the riders are speaking out now at the quality of GP’s. Been really poor for years been saying it’s going down hill and this year I didn’t watch a single race.
Imo the worst part is that Spain got put on the calendar during the season as the seasons finale to make it a big Prado celebration.
The thinking is good (let's go to Prado country to build on the hype), but to finish your world championship at that track in that ambiance is exactly what is wrong with MXGP's marketing.
A good team reached out to him mid season, but when they found out he was 28 they thought he was to old.. But maybe after yesterday teams see how fast he is !
Kawasaki KRT. They signed Jonass instead for 2025.
Jonass is 27, 28 in January, and I would imagine, a lot more expensive than Webster.
You think so? I would not be surprised if Jonass is riding for pennies and relies on own sponsors at this point in his career.
He's a former world champion, i was just going off of that...
Yeah, i would hope that he could demand a good salary. But with the GPs being in the state that it is in at the moment, i would not be surprised if the second Kawasaki ride is a low-salary ride.
Weird choice, then...
Jonass was 5th overall in points, just 25 points behind Herlings after the 7th GP this year. Then he got hurt in Germany and was out for the season.
Imo he is a very good number 2 rider for a factory team.
Both current KRT riders make at least a Million euro's per year. Also the staff at KRT is paid very well, money isn't the issue there.
