Now that the WSX season is winding down, what rider movement do we expect for next year? Will Roczen be back? Will there be any riders on Huskys next year?

I highly doubt you'd see any Huskys. Husqvarna in general seems to be winding down their racing world wide and GasGas is getting more of the focus.

But I don't for see any teams leaving so there's only two teams that would have an OEM change.

MDK could do whatever.

RWR could align with an OEM going forward or maybe focus on Yamahas since three of their guys are on them. I believe McElrath already has a 2023 contract with them.

Honda Genuine Honda Racing seem to be pretty committed to Anstie and Wilson being there in 2023.

I think Carson Brown's deal with GSM was a two year deal.

Blose seems intent on staying, I think he'd likely be back with BUD.

With the team contract stating that they need 4 riders per round who's going to replace Reed and Grant this weekend in Melbourne??

I saw Josh Grant yesterday. He said he wasn’t sure yet who was filling his spot and that Metcalfe taking Reed’s spot was a no-go now.

I thought Metty was a wildcats entry for the event on the Australian Factory KTM team.

Metty is a Wildcard so is already in.

Do bad they could not have drafted in Eli and he just race the bike he raced in the UK.

The wildcard thing will be interesting next year when races are during mx series, outside of USA and France Australia has the better sx riders so getting a couple of wild cards would be easy for Melbourne this weekend ,

However. On short notice to somewhere like indo or Dubai will be a fair bit harder , esp if visa issues or other travel related come up ,

I wonder if teams will have w rest rider like jgr did for a few years

Aus sx is on Friday then wsx on Saturday.
This sounds pretty straight forward but could cause massive issue.
So brayton has signed for konskys Honda team (firepower) and will race Friday for that team and Sat for mcr.
I believe Wilson and clout is racing aus sx also.
Tanti is on a 450 fri and 250 Sat for the same team.
Matt moss is on a yz450 Friday and a kx250 Sat.

So that's all weird enough racing for 2 different teams in 2 days.
But what if brayton gets injured fri night and then mcr need to get a replacement.
