I heard he couldve gotten a ride over here in the states, anyone know what teams he couldve maybe rode for? Id like to see him get on a PC kawi, he would do really good IMO.

He got smoked by RJ Hampshire. I'm a Sewer fan, but I don't see him being any 250 team "big dog" in the USA.

Heard his name as a possible JGR rider, but no idea if there was any real actual discussions between the two sides

Not on PC, Geico, Star, or TLD...not even JGR with Hill (speaking of SX, not MX of course).
At the time things went down his only option I'm aware of would've been JGR...everything else had been pretty well decided and full by that time. Especially at PC, GEICO, and TLD.

I think it's crazy that JGR didn't sign him.
My prediction is that JGR will regret that in about 6 months.

I feel like he was the fastest guy this year (most of the weekends anyway)....just not as consistent as Jonas.

Maybe Seewer chose to stay in Europe, or maybe his price was too high. Is he any good in supercross? Id like to see him over here, but now maybe it will be too late and he'll stay in europe the rest of his career.

Wilvo was looking for a 3rd rider if they had budget, Seewer has good backing in Switzerland, i see him as a fit there.

Hasn't that been confirmed already? I thought that was through weeks ago.
Hope the new Yamaha helps the swiss. Both Tonus and Seewer were top guys in MX2 a long time but never got a title. I hope at least one of them wins an MXGP title one day. Tough task, I know...

Disagree. I think at least three of those would welcome (and pay) him to challenge for a Ferrandis+ position.

Ferrandis had more draw to him due to his apparent Supercross skills. But I stand behind what I said about him not being "the big dog" on those teams. Not saying he couldn't get a ride there, if it was earlier in the year and he had inquired...I'm sure he could've secured a spot somewhere. I'm just stating he wouldn't be viewed by a team as their new top rider.

Seewer has many personal sponsors, so he will get a spot on a good team
He rips on a 450 too. Seen him twice race one here in Europe.

a few weeks ago.
Looks like this is in Eersel. I was there last wednesday and the #4 Wilvo Yamaha was also there. I didn't pay attention to who was riding it though. Although I noticed he did some practice starts and they were really bad lol.

Small dude on a YZF 450.
It will be interesting to see what he is able to do with that bike.

Yes, he is too old to ride MX2 in 2018.
He could've raced a 250 in USA.

Real shame.
Word is Paturel refused an offer early in 2017, so actually his own fault.

Hmm, i thought the spot would've gone to Jasikonis. But nice to see Seewer has a ride.
So it seems like Jasikonis and Paturel are the free agents for next year.
Yamaha seemed to really try get Paturel on a Yamaha 450 next year, maybe a satellite team?
Jasikonis is a big question mark for me, didn't hear anything about him. Would be the first guy I would love to sign if I were a team manager.

There are a few decent teams that haven't named riders yet
I believe Honda Assomotor has one or even two rides open. Guillod went to KTM and Lupino to Kawasaki.
Not sure who they will sign or have already signed.
Also Tixier will ride for a new KTM team that hasn't named their second rider yet.
Hope AJ lands a decent ride

Petrov is signed with Assomotor, rumor is Jasi or Bobby as second rider. Bobby is also what pops up as second rider with Tixier. Paturel.. no ride. Nagl, still TM rumor.

makes sense.
Yeah Nagl is pretty much assured at TM I believe. Hope it works out for him. He still has a few years in him
