Here is the latest info.

http://www.racerxonline.com/2012/08/31/bench-racing-ammo-silly-season-u…

American Honda
Trey Canard - Confirmed
Justin Barcia - Confirmed
Note: Will Justin Brayton stay? He could be headed back to JGR Yamaha--we'll know for sure after Elsinore next weekend.

GEICO Honda
Zach Bell - Confirmed
Justin Bogle - Confirmed
Zach Osborne - Confirmed
Wil Hahn - Confirmed
Eli Tomac - Confirmed
Kevin Windham - Confirmed
Note: Expect amateur recruit Matt Bisceglia to jump to the pros next year after Loretta's, and the team may sign another amateur or two soon.

TwoTwo Motorsports Honda
Chad Reed -- Confirmed (Yes, Chad will re-sign himself)

Chaparral Honda
Andrew Short -- Will enter second year of a two-year deal.

Lucas Oil Troy Lee Designs Honda
Cole Seely - Confirmed
Christian Craig - Confirmed
Jessy Nelson -- Confirmed
Notes: All three will ride Lites West SX, and Seely and Craig will ride 450s outdoors next summer. Unclear if Travis Baker will still have a spot.

Monster Energy Kawasaki
Jake Weimer -- Confirmed
Ryan Villopoto -- Several teams took a look at RV (of course) but it looks like he will be back with his current employer.

Pro Circuit Kawasaki
Blake Baggett - Confirmed
Darryn Durham - Confirmed
Martin Davalos - Confirmed
Notes: Dean Wilson is heading to the 450s with Jeff Ward Racing, and Broc Tickle will probably move to another 450 team. One more PC 250 spot remains for next year, we're hearing amateur names possibly linked to it.

Jeff Ward Racing Kawasaki
Dean Wilson - Confirmed
Josh Grant - Has a two-year deal
Note: Not sure if Kyle Chisholm will return or have to look elsewhere.

Yoshimura Suzuki
James Stewart -- Confirmed
Brett Metcalfe -- Two-year deal with the team is up, but we hear they are talking about a return for 2013.

Rockstar Suzuki
Jason Anderson -- Confirmed
Blake Wharton -- Confirmed
Davi Millsaps (450s indoors and out) -- Confirmed
Nico Izzi (Lites SX and 450 outdoors) -- Confirmed
Ryan Sipes -- Confirmed

MotoConcepts
Mike Alessi -- Confirmed
Jake Canada -- Confirmed
Notes: This team started 2012 as a five-rider squad with Vince Friese, Tommy Weeck and Jeff Alessi. We hear Jeff is off to Europe, not sure on Friese yet. Weeck was SX only with the team.

Red Bull KTM
Ken Roczen -- Confirmed
Marvin Musquin -- Confirmed
Ryan Dungey -- Confirmed

J-Star JDR KTM
Malcolm Stewart -- Confirmed. Mookie just extended his contract.
Note: PJ Larsen is out after two injury-plagued seasons at JDR. Not sure who will be teammates for Stewart yet.

Langston-Witt KTM
Les Smith -- Re-signed for 2013.
Note: Langston-Witt went after Christian Craig but Craig went back to Troy Lee. The team is actively looking for a second rider, but few options remain. We hear they're approaching Brett Metcalfe.

BTOSports KTM
Michael Byrne -- Confirmed
Matt Goerke -- Confirmed

JGR Yamaha
Justin Brayton -- Not set in stone yet but we're hearing Brayton may be back with the team he rode for in 2010-2011.
Note: This is a two rider team, so even if they sign Brayton, there will be another new recruit.

Star Valli Yamaha
Jeremy Martin -- Confirmed
Kyle Cunningham -- Confirmed
Notes: When Star and Valli merged last year that left them with a lot of riders. How many will they bring back for 2013? They also have amateur Cooper Webb in the ranks for a debut sometime next year.

Hart and Huntington
Broc Tickle -- (according to MXA and a few others)
Ivan Tedesco -- (should end here)
Lots of rumors surrounding this team, including a potential Suzuki tie-up with Ricky Carmichael's involvement. Broc Tickle has been linked to this outfit. We also hear Josh Hansen may be out. Not sure of status of other 2012 riders Ivan Tedesco, Josh Hill and Kyle Partridge.

H&H Honda will have Tickle and Kiniry. Wouldn't be shocked to see Cole Thompson land back on Star/Valli.

H&H Honda? Are we back in 2009 or is that just a mis-type? H&H is getting factory backing from Suzuki so I doubt they will aim their sights on someone like Kiniry for that 2nd bike.

Shit, yes, meant Suzuki, sorry. Haven't slept tonight. Kenny said Kiniry has a shot at it on the PulpMX show. I think he'll get it.

Malcolm told me yesterday he is staying at JDR KTM and will do 250 west and maybe ride a 450 out east and maybe 450 outdoors too.
Wilbur told me he is staying at Geico next year and is stoked!
Baggett said he only has a letter of intent at this moment. (that way he can get more $ when/if he wins the title)
Nicoletti might even be on a factory supported ride at Elsinore this weekend - I hope it happens.
Everyone was talking about Villopoto and a three year Kawi deal at Steel City.
L&Mc will probably have a second rider.
11/10 has a fire cooking.
Rock River has a fire cooking.
Ricky Renner has an idea that will stoke everyone out next year!
I still need a gig at the races.

Nicoletti is riding great lately. It will be interesting to see if he can do anything at Elsinore or Monster Million cause that will be the real test since these last couple rounds were close to home. Supprised Honda didn't give him Hahn's ride for the last couple since he was up there better than Brayton! Nicoletti has always been fast it's just staying healthy is the problem. But then again, I guess that's a lot of rider's problems! Angry

That would be way cool if true, to finish his career at Kawi. Three years is a long time, lots of opportunity to get wins.

Only thing i see RV2 going somewhere else. He has said he hates being resricted by kawi, he said he wants to live his life.
Hense one of the reasons Chad left kawi. If he were to go to 22, he would be as happy as Chad.
Plus, it's strange if Kawi have resigned RV, to would have anounced it already, no need to keep it a secret as he is under the same contract already. I think he is moving on. No doubt Kawi is going to Offer is a TON of money but i think he is over the team and is looking for a change in his life.

Damn, I was hoping PC was going to continue it's 450 program with Tickle.

I'm a Broc fan and did not want to see any major changes to his program.

Are you sure Josh Grant signed a two year deal with JWR?

Chad left Kawi because he hated the bike and butted heads with Fisher.

Watch moto:inside the outdoors. The Red bud ep. He said "Every year except the year at Suzuki, were just frustrating years. Not being able to do what he wants" thats one reason he started two two. Plus he got no Factory offers.
Ive seen an artical in a magazine that RV said he feels the same why at Kawi. He said the bike is not a problem as he's grown up on it. He said and i qoute "I dislike working off a roster, being told what to eat and do" Earlier i also read that's one reason why he's in talk with reed, Reed has been through the same thing and will make RV happier.
Reed also Retweeted to RV awhile go when RV tweeted "This is so frustrating" reed retweeted "you feeling the same way i did with Kawasaki?" and RV retweeted "yeah man"

Any word on a second rider for 22 Motorsports, or did they pull the pin on that? Chad seemed to get along well with a certain loose cannon who I would love to see back racing.... Tongue

Yeah, Chad's going solo next year. Maybe he'll go for Tomac for 2014.

BTW, Matt Moss is still on JDR. Don't know why RacerX forgot to include him.

Chase Bell is the 2nd rider at JDR KTM with Mookie (at this stage).

Not too sure about Matt, DJ. I don't think he has re-signed yet (I could be wrong). Greg mentioned that Matt wasn't happy....

Chase Bell is in their newly formed amateur program, he has another year at Loretta's before moving up at least.
