At his age, why not. 

Ducati get a proven winner, and he gets a chance to prove his worth.  

Seewer did the same. 

And we all have seen the "result".

Correct, but Seewer was also ‘shit’ on the kawi while Febvre was doing well. Next year around this time we’ll know what Febvre thinks about the Ducati.

Febvre already tried the Ducati. 

I truly hope he found the potential nobody hasn't really seen yet from that bike.

I hope he does! Otherwise the brand will be in ‘trouble’ for the future.

That’s pretty cool if he does, I just looked up his age and he’s 42 yrs old, pretty rad.

" Big Ken " on a Works Suzuki made to fit him :

Ken DeDycker on a Suzuki - made for his size .

As, he was squishing his previous Works Bikes :

He's 'only' around 6'3" - but he rides BIG!

I think he's on a KTM for the EMX Open.

5 Minutes after posting this, i was walking down the office and a girl who comes to our site 2 days a week, who i have nothing to do with normally , other than being sociable in the works kitchen occasionally, says ' oh , can i ask you something' .  Me thinking it was work related , said ' yeah , what do you need'...  she replied ' what do you think about Ken De Dycker doing Lommel'?

I have never been lost for words in my life.   But i was. 

 

Turns out that she is the Ex GF of a work colleague of my son, and she actually came  to Lommel im 2017 and was with us for 2 days.  I knew i had seen her before , but could never figure out where...  Yesterday she realised who i was and confirmed it with the Ex, and he gave her the question.... bloody  hilarious.

De Dycker is the real deal. Even in 2026.

I had something similar happen to me a few years back. I was having my hair cut and the hairdresser asked what I was up to at the weekend, I said I was going out on my dirt bike. Turns out her brother was Austin Kemp, a name you probably remember & I would wager you probably haven’t heard in a while. Small world.

He won't go. Only two "real" options: Kawasaki or Triumph.

Lata will stay with Gariboldi Honda. 

Reisulis will ride for De Carli KTM. 

Farres possibly to KRT Kawasaki. 

Hutten Metaal will run Triumph MX2 effort next year.

Last words on the street say Lata to De Carli KTM and Reisulis to Gariboldi Honda, finally.

Not sure if the Honda is a upgrade compared to the Yamaha, curious what will happen in the end.

Triumpf has an open spot and if Hutten is doing the Triumpf deal next year he basicly could stay on the same team… 

If you ask me a KTM or the Triumpf are the best bikes on the gate in GP MX2

Replace Farres? Or even Camden if he goes MXGP?

I guess if you are a Factory effort and a young kid they should go after Mikula! 

Only 19 and getting closer and closer to the top. With a few guys moving out the class and with a full off season with a Factory squad he could get really good if he stays healthy…

If Farres decides to stay and make the step to mxgp with Triumf, who should Ice one/Kawasaki go after? I can’t see any top 5 riders left to fill the spot. Am I missing someone?

Ruben Fernandez? Isn’t his contract up at the end of this season?

If Triumph would keep McLellan in 250 Mikula would be a very good option as a nr 2 rider to groom. I personally would not take Mikula right now as my nr. 1 rider if i'm running a factory team.
