A few updates that I’ve heard. These are just rumors, nothing set in stone.
Dylan Ferrandis – Out at Star Racing, searching for a ride with not a lot of luck which is surprising. Hearing he is talking with the HEP Suzuki guys, as well as potentially riding 250MX only for Triumph next year as they will not have a 450 ready.
Joey Savatgy – Similar to Dylan, hearing Joey could end up at Triumph on a 250MX only deal.
Max Vohland – Out at Redbull KTM. Originally was linked to Star Racing but those talks have died down and now its sounds like PC Kawi could be his home if they can get the budget to afford his salary.
Carson Mumford – Out at PC, hearing he will be at MCR for 2024.
…hard to say but he’s on the right path. Looking forward to seeing how the season plays out.
The kid definitely has all of the ingredients to be one of the best. It would be interesting to see how it played out with a full field, but he had a great first round going against a guy that pushed Tomac to the very end of the series last year.
Is it set in stone with Sexton going to KTM? If Honda was smart, they’d throw the checkbook at him. I also see Plessingee staying @ KTM along with Musquin; Webb will be going elsewhere in 2024.

Pretty sure the Sexton to KTM is done.
Shimoda to Honda HRC 250 with Hunter going 450 in 2024.
Kitchen to PC
Vohland to Star
Webb to Star
Swoll to Triumph
Also hearing Ryder D to GasGas in Mosimans spot, which is really interesting
The silly season just got a bit more “silly” now Tomac is out with injury. Wondering if he will want to return for 2024?
The Lord of the Idiots put up a post about Jo Shimoda going to Husqvarna next year. Let me ask you a question… how big is it that Japan FINALLY has a rider who can legitimately win races here in the US? Do you think that the major Japanese manufacturers would let him ride an Austrian brand to do so? Obviously Kawasaki is trying hard to keep him on green, but where does it make sense for him to land? Hmmm… his agent is Lucas Myrtle, who will be without his two primary 250 riders after this season; He obviously has a good relationship with Honda after working with the Lawrences. Jo Shimoda to Honda? One thing is for certain… if Jo has another good run this summer he is going to command a lot of cash for 2024. Or yen, as it were. #ichiban
Well, you seemed to have irked the minions of the Lord of Idiots over at vitalmx. There are pissing all over you in a thread, which is ironic because their fearless leader ran a team into ground, took money, failed to deliver the goods, and got rewarded with a job and all the wankers over there judging you have conveniently turned a blind eye to it all. I’m all about people voicing their opinions, but if they are going to sh*t on a person, then at least let them defend themselves on said forum. Sad that forum chooses to tear down moto brothers.
As far as Shimoda…I think he’ll do what he feels is in the best interest for his career, financially and otherwise.
The appeal of the HRC 250 ride is that they get to have their own boot, gear, goggle, helmet deals etc. Teams like PC, Star, Rockstar Husky all have team deals so I imagine if Shimoda has an offer from HRC he would likely move there.
I’ve heard the rumblings of Shimoda to HRC 250 with Hymas and Hunter moving up to 450 full time next year.
This silly season will be one of the best yet as contracts are up for most riders and the biggest domino to fall is whether Tomac comes back for 2024.
