He will turn 23 in April, or not?

yeah probably, or the age they are by the time of the first GP.

I somehow thought they have to move to move up once they turn 23 during the season (like Roczen could race MX2 after he turned 15 in April)

It's based on your age as of January 1st. Interesting note: Romain Febvre's birthday is on December 31st, so he was one day away from staying down in MX2 this year...

World Suzuki has done it as well in recent years. White front plate and black side plates for MX1. Gasjer also had a black front plate and white side plates in MX2 this year. Seems to be popular amongst MXGP teams.

What a weird relationship, with KTM being in bed with Redbull, and owning Husky, which is now in bed with Rockstar.

I think they want people to stop thinking Husqvarna is a white KTM, going with Rockstar would be a good step in that direction.

Even thought they're owned by the same guy, it seems that this is yet another effort by Husky to separate itself from its big brother's shadow.

Teaming with Rockstar globally is a smart move.

That's the impression I got from this deal too. KTM and Red Bull go hand in hand with each other the world over, it seems that Husky are trying to create this image with Rockstar. Interesting sub plot to see Covington on a bike with Rockstar sponsorship

That's what I think everytime I see it on a bike in the pits. They're on a couple of bikes now. Great move by Peter (owner of Hyllteknik).
