de-Dycker and Searle didn't really deliver so I guess that means next, It's too premature
but if Everts goes to Suzuki I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to go after Tony for 2017

By the time Herlings moves up Cairoli will be on his way out. Might make for a great team dynamic. Although I am quite ignorant on the relationship between these two so I don't know any underlying issues there would be on the same team.

You think next year will be AC's last? I could see it. Seems these last couple years he's had some good injuries and on top of some of these MX2 kids moving up who are smoking fast. Might be the right time.

Well done Suzuki! Bravo! Applause applause! They better have something huge lined up losing Desalle and not resigning the Hoff. Strijbos is still fast but getting older. They better hold on to Seewer and Hsu.

One thing I will say, GP riders tend to have much longer careers than AMA riders. Obviously SX is a contributing factor, but I also believe the slower less jumpy GP tracks and less rigorous schedules play a role as well. I think that's a good thing, I wish our riders careers lasted longer.

Desalle is/was team Geboers but Coldenhoff was team Suzuki Europe, long story short two different teams

So perhaps a Dutchman can translate, has it been said that the contract is definitely NOT being renewed with Suzuki Europe or is it just out of contract at year end?

I don't think he needs to worry, he's a very fast rider and now a 450 winner....not many have a 450 win

It was mentioned somewhere that the ride was likely an FU to them for the breakup. I think he found out at the beginning of the weekend.

That`s not what I`m saying. De Carli KTM is for Cairoli. If and when Herlings moves up KTM will have to build a new team for him or Herlings will have to switch teams. IMO.

Makes sense. A pissed off rider with something to prove is usually a good one.

It was already mentioned in the Dutch (MotorsTV) broadcast so for many Dutchies it's old news
When it comes to KTM they have a serious talent pool to choose from with so many satellite teams
and two (KTM & Husqvarna) Factory Teams, interesting to see which moves they make

Serious question. Is Coldenhoff a sand specialist & therefore did really well last weekend ? Bit like De Reuver
