A while ago we learnt Max Anstie is out of Rockstar Husky by this seasond end. Today Jeremy Van Horebeek conformed he’s no longer Rinaldi Ysmaha next year. Rumour says JVH’s ride will go to Jeremy Seewer. Any idea who will replace Anstie?
Any other news or rumours about next year?

Curious to see where everyone lands.

I've heard rumours of anstie to hrc on a 3rd bike.
Coldenhoff confirmed he is out at factory ktm.
I can't see Jasikonis taking the Husky ride, Anstie is still beating him in the championship.
How about Bobryshev is his contract up at the end of this?
Maybe Coldenhoff to Rockstar Husky and then they have 2 strong riders all year round.
I remember Simpson talked about enduro last time he was out of a ride. He would make a great beachrace rider, and doing brittish championship meanwhile.
I would pick JVH and even Simpson over Tonus. He is even more injured than Searle...I want to add I feel really sorry for both of them with their terrible luck.
Is Paturel locked to Marchetti for next year? Does Tixier have a two year deal with BOS(another one with lot's of injuries)
Lieber is assumed to stay at Kawasaki but is anything confirmed?
"They have sort of told me that I think at the end of the year we are going to be parting ways. It is tough to deal with all those sorts of things. When you trust everyone around you and you feel so good with people, but it is business. I can respect their decision and what they are doing. Their plan is different from mine. So, at the moment, I am pleased I got on the bloody podium, because at least I have got something going for me at the moment. When you add that pressure to the mix, it gets more tough. When things are going well, it is easy to get good results. It is what it is.
At the end of the day, I have got to just focus on my thing and myself and what happens, happens. I want to be back up there battling for podiums and try and put myself in a position where I can feel really good and on it like I did at the end of last year. At the moment I am just focused on the rest of this year and doing that."

The only way it would make sense is if they have an even better rider lined up for the spot(You could argue for JVH).
JvH has shown that he is not going to be a winner in MXGP. Yes he has been vice-world champion but he has won exactly 1 moto in his MXGP career. He has been 5th, 6th, 7th and now 9th overall in the championship.
Sign him, and you know what you are going to get: Nice finishes but no wins.
The same applies to Coldenhoff.
I could understand why a factory team would prefer a young guy over these veteran guys.
With a good winter a good team and bike like Rockstar Husky, he will be again a front runner in the sand and top 5 on hardpacks IMO.
Rockstar Husky got 3 riders under the tent before, so with Anstie gone, they can pick Coldenhoff or JVH as good Second guy and Jasikonis as the darkhorse #3 on the team. Seems like a good and solid shot right?
Coldenhoff to (the Dutch) Wilvo Yamaha to replace Seewer makes much more sense.
Close sources denies any involvment with Rockstar Husky but my spider senses tells me thats just BS. Obviously they cant confirm anything at this stage since he´s still under contract.
I know both Glenn and his mechanic Franky were pretty pissed off at that time and that's why I can't believe that Coldenhoff would return to the guy who pretty much f*cked him in the *ss.
You have guys like Bobryshev and Nagl relying on private sponsors for an income. I am a big fan of Coldenhoff, but he is very replaceable from a teams perspective.
If that happends and Jonass wants that 250 title back, then there is still room for Coldenhoff... Or someone else...
What if Jonass moves up, who will get that 250 spot? Hofner,Jacobi,Mewse,Beaton or...?
