I think Husky made the right decision to keep Anstie and Paulin over Nagl as they were both consistently getting better results. But Nagl on a very good day can challenge for wins and he definitely deserves to stay in MXGP, cool that TM is moving into the top class and they have a very good rider to help develop the bike and get the best results out of it.

Should be interesting to see how nagl does
Hope it helps him to get his career back on track, he has a few more years in him.
Good move for TM, Nagl can be as fast as anyone when he's comfortable on a bike and with a team (see 2015)
Pit Row
"Finally I can get back to the season preparation and my training program," Nagl told SPEEDWEEK.com. "The last few weeks have been really tough. After the unexpected end of the Husqvarna engagement, Matterley Basin's scaphoid fracture in the last race including surgery was added. Now I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. The contract is signed, the hand is making good progress. It is progressing overall. »
Nags concluded a one-year contract with TM for extension.
"In the meantime, I'm really happy about it," says Nagl. "I feel very well in this family team."
Husqvarna leaves Nagl without resentment. "I had a good time there. We developed the material further and I was Husqvarna's title candidate. Of course, I also had a lot of bad luck during this time, but I can not blame anyone. Antii [Pyrhönen] also knew that the decision became a problem for me so late in the season. That's why you gave me a test approval before the contract ended. In retrospect, that was very important for the decision. After all, it's not just about the 'job' as such, but ultimately I have to get by on a motorbike. »
The test work on the TM went well for Nagl. "The whole team is motivated right down to the tips of their hair. They want to face the competition and work very hard for it. The first test was really enjoyable. The bike has a lot of power, which suits my driving style. If something needs to be changed, it will be implemented very quickly. "
The negotiations were burdened from the outset by budget problems. It was said that Nagl could drive, but without Gage. "Here, too, the TM team has worked hard and negotiated with their sponsors to be able to lace the package. I can live with the regulation we have now. There is a kind of bonus system. If my services are right, my fee is also right. That's okay for me. »
Max Nagl will contest the entire 2018 season, including all overseas races.

As for Gole, he struggled on the TM because he was contracted to Husky for his home championship, and swapping back and forth did him no good.
Whatever he does, i hope they both have a decent season
This should go well for the team.
I went to congratulate them once in a GP in Spain where Leok got a great result in a season that was being difficult, how happy and proud they were!
Anyway seems like the Swedes are popular on that team.
I really hope it works out for him.
