Seb pourcel got the kicked out by his dad from KRT not enough results to re-sign him. Could be going to Honda Martin or KTM HDI my guess only or US for Outdoors...

Aranda back on the bike and we should see him at the last rounds. I guess BUD will want to keep him and he owes them. Bud still want three riders but I guess Aubin will be out

CAS is no longer backed by Honda who will focus on Martin and LS (Ramon probably and Guarneri)

Paulin signed for MX2 with Rinaldi but could still switch to MX1 in off season as Michele wants. Paulin wants to stay in MX2 to have a shot at the US in Lites. Frossard could join them for MX1.

CLS/PC backed by some french sponsors wants a french rider and maybe Teillet who just not been putting it together since he won the EMX2 title.

Leib wants to stay a few years before going back stateside

Rinaldi Yamaha have already secured both of there riders for next year.
Van Horebeek got out of the second year of his CLS contract and is linked to a Factory KTM ride.
CLS Kawasaki has Searle and Anstie (as everyone already knows)
Ramon and Strijbos are both rumoured to be riding LS Motors Honda.
Coppins will not be riding the Grand Prix series next year.
The Simpson to Kawasaki rumour seems to be getting stronger as they have their third spot still open. Frossard also has links to that ride as well as Yamaha. Boog and Barragan have both resigned with KRT.
Apparently, Bobyrshev is talking to every top team at the moment and is hot property.
I heard Ricci Yamaha will not be Yamaha supported next year.
Despite CAS being dropped by Honda they will continue to race the red bikes in 2011, also they have a strong new sponsor in the works that would of conflicted with Honda Europe.
Jacky Martens team will again be on KTM's next year.
There will be a Husqvarna team in World Championship Motocross next year

Seb Pourcel's dad is who runs that kawi team? Is that the same KAwi team Chris rode for when he was in Europe as well?

Pretty much yeah. It was called something else back then (GPKR?) but their dad was on of the two bosses back then too.

No it is not the same team. The kawasaki team now originated from the Jan de Groot team, the official Kawi factory team.

CP377 rode for GPKR Kawi run by his dad, with factory 250 bikes and factory support for Seb on his 450. GPKR is no more.

Van Horebeek and Red bull KTM seems to be more and more accurate every day.

Paulin on 450 Yamaha.

Bobryshev looks to be going to factory Suzuki.

Joel Roelants stays on JM Racing KTM.

Ricci is dropped by Yamaha.

Seb Pourcel and KTM HDI looks like a done deal.

If Paulin goes MX1 will they hire another rider to go for the title in MX2?

I don't think Osbourne is fast enough and Charlier and Kullas aren't ready for such a challenge either.

Do you think Seb Pourcel can bounce back and become a frontrunner again? What kind of support can HDI get? (suspension, weight etc)

Any ideas where Goncalves and Swanepoel will end up?

What about Aprilia next year?

I hope Billy MacKenzie comes back to GPs next year.. i think Dean Ferris is talking to Martin Honda for 2011 he has a ride with them for lierop(which will be tough) and Fermo.

What about Leok - out at LS motors? (that is proving to be a great team btw)

Bobreyshev to Suzuki?! CAS won't like that but he is very promising with alot of raw speed. Where will De Dycker go?

I think Paulin will be brilliant on a 450.

Maybe there will be more AMerican based riders coming from MX2.. with Musquin, Paulin, Simpson and Frossard out the depth of potential winners will suffer. An Austin Stroupe type rider would have the ability to run at the front for a MXGP team.
