I actually have a B rider selected already. Although, Carter’s name was brought up by one of our sponsors, but sadly he’s been in B class for a few years now, so I wasn’t able to consider him further.
I believe after lorettas he has moved to A now and his younger brother moved to B. They both just did some races in the midwest in those classes

Since KTM owns both brands, I'm sure they can move some guys around if they want, kind of like they did with Coldenhoff in MXGP.
Seems like they will move a little around in Europe as well. Olsen is moving up to MXGP and Jonass maybe to GasGas?

On Matthes's show today, Truman pretty much confirmed Barcia to TLD Gas Gas, Ferrandis stays with Star Yamaha, Mookie in talks with Star and another brand, and McElrath/Star are asking the AMA for an exemption to stay in 250. They did say that BB4 has been pretty open about issues surrounding RMATV KTM...I don't remember anyone on the show hinting that the team might dissolve.

Question is, what happens to KTM's factory 250 effort and who will ride for them?

Dang wonder why Shane wants to stay in the 250 class. What are the issues going on with the Rocky Mountain team ?

If the GasGas TLD team takes two 250 riders I'm guessing Brown and Drake. Then RedBull-KTM will take Hartranft and hopefully Marchbanks under the KTM factory tent?

Regarding McElrath, there was some agreement that if SX was stopped before all the rounds could happen that point out rules would not be enforced, as discussed by Truman and Matthes. But they all happened. I'm wondering if the petition for McElrath is based on there not being the additional E/W Showdown round and that somehow affected his season?? Just guessing, otherwise seems like he doesn't have much to petition.

Mookie took McElraths spot on the 450...
I doubt they will get anywhere with an exemption, but who knows, it’s 2020 !
But I’d be willing to bet that they keep him on a 450, if the exemption fails. But I’m only guessing on that.

Brown is more likely to be at KTM then any of the riders on TLD currently.

Hopefully HEP can draw some bigger sponsors and go after Bogle, Tickle or Noren. All 3 ride the Suzuki well, and Anstie proved last weekend that they can build a capable bike.

Twisted tea was already a big get for them. Hope it leads to more good riders

If true I don't blame SM12 but shady, guy is gaining no fans with his off track moves.

Full on guessing. No insider knowledge here. I'd really like to know the basis around McElrath's petition to stay in the 250 class.

Barcia said today that he's not on Yamaha next year, at least for now.
I would imagine Yamaha wants to bring in Dylan Ferrandis next year, and they still have a year contract with Plessinger. So Barcia is out, sort of.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but in moto 2 of LL1, Barcia went from a first turn crash to 8th in 3 laps.
http://americanmotocrossresults.com/xml/MX/events/M2005/M1F2LAP.pdf

If he keeps riding how he is, he'll be a contender for the championship this year.
He rode well on Honda, but it seems the Yamaha fits him now. I'm hoping he wins this championship and stays Blue.

How long is Plessinger out? I feel for that dude. Seems like a great guy, and he was outstandable on 250's, but 450's have not been kind to him.

McElrath needs to beat it. He and Craig need to get out of the 250s.

He won’t be racing professionally for at least 2 years. His dad is bringing him on slowly even though he’s super fast already. I think they want him to get a wide range of experience, like going to Europe for the GP’s

Agree, but I don't know that Tickle can afford to give up the FXR money and Benny has a history with Fly.
