This update from Weigandt was in fridays Racerhead column

The Other Guys (Weege)

Eric Johnson sent us an interview today with Arnaud Tonus regarding his move from the GPs to the US next year—yes, another victim of the GPs’ under-age-23 rule in MX2. Tonus could have raced a 450 in Europe or a 250 here, so he started shopping. That's also why Red Bull KTM has Australia's Dean Ferris over here. Oh, you don't remember him? Dean was following orders, getting through supercross healthy before making a run in the Nationals. Then he went home to Australia and got hurt while riding motocross. I saw Dean a week ago at the KTM dealer show and he's back to riding but thinks it could a month before his wrist is strong enough to race.

Yeah wouldn't surprise me to see him back here next year. It will be hard to find a ride here in australia though, Every year their seems to be less riders and less factory support available.

Unless he puts in a couple of top 5/top 3 finishes, which will be hard coming of an injury. I doubt he will be resigned by another america team.

i can see him taking 2nd rider or Cody Coopers ride at Penrite Honda, maybe 2nd rider at Motul Suzuki I heard Matt Moss wants to stay in Aus with Jay Foreman and wants multi year deal so if that doesn't happen they might need another rider.or even CDR Yamaha Jay Marmont and Billy Mackenzie sure hasn't lit the world onfire there except for the 1 good round when Billy took the overall.

SHANES: Ferris only signed a single year deal and was confident he could prove his worth come outdoors but obviously that went up shit creek when training back at home and got hurt

A couple of good results and could be a great fit over at the Rockstar Husqvarna team as one of their 250F riders or second 450 rider.

Think he would be snapped up pretty quick if he did come back to Australia even with the limited seats around these days.
