Gotta love the folks throwing out random names like they don't already have sponsorship obligations to other teams. There's no way Savatgy, Harrison or Friese are going to tell their current sponsors to bugger off just so they can switch to a completely different brand halfway through the season (especially Savatgy).

The most realistic options are someone like a Soubeyras or a Thomas Ramette

That's a possibility. I know his name has been linked to the future Suzuki MXGP effort. I asked Benoit last year if he would be back for outdoors this year and he didn't know at the time but seemed optimistic. He said he really enjoyed his time in America and he was a Top 10 contender so I feel he's a strong possibility being already familiar with the team and bike. I don't know if they would be interested in running 3 guys outdoors. Who knows if Kenny shows up at a couple Nationals too. 

 

But as for SX. I see them just moving forward with Kenny and Colt and focusing on keeping Kenny in title contention. Especially since what's going on with Jason is a difficult situation and they are also without Larry Brooks. Bringing a new guy in at this point doesn't seem realistic.

Coldenhoff has a contract with Yamaha Brazil for 2026.

Concerning Paturel, it would be cool to see him again riding the National Outdoors, but are we 100% sure HEP Suzuki will do the serie this summer?

🤔

I believe it may have been Lewis Philips who mentioned Coldenhoff to Suzuki, but that would be for 2027 or 2028 IF they do come back. I know he is in Brazil now. 

And no, I am not certain at all about Paturel or HEP Suzuki. This was just our casual conversation from last year and my speculation. I do hope he does return and HEP Suzuki fields a team for the Nationals. 

Also, color me wrong if Bogle fills in. That would make sense since he has ridden that bike before and it looks like he has been spending time with Colt according to some social media posts.
