Nice and cool transfer gossip about Tixier, Sterry, Petrov, Suzuki, etc.
Because we have ears and eyes everywhere, invisible people everywhere, we can now tell you some rumors. Rumors based on virtually established facts.
One of these rumors is that Jordi Tixier, the 2 MX2014 World Champion, will compete in the 2018 World Championship with his own structure. His team will compete on KTM, possibly with support from KTM France or a large French shop. In 2018, the Frenchman will search for himself and the results that come with it under his own conditions.
After the announcement that Alexandro Lupino is moving to the Dutch Gebben Kawasaki team, the question was who will be the pilots for the Asso Motors MXGP team? Because in addition to Lupino, Valentin Guillod is also closing the door behind him, he is once again collaborating with Tim Mathys. The name that pops up at Asso is Petar Petrov. The Bulgarian has suffered many injuries in MX2 in recent years, which has caused him to fall from the forefront. Many also saw him as more of a 450 pilot than a 250 pilot. The hardworking talent can now prove this on the Honda in 2018.
The young Briton Adam Sterry couldn't stay with his luck at the end of 2016, he got a chance with the Kawasaki factory team. Unfortunately, 2017 did not go as desired with a serious injury and to make matters worse, Kawasaki threw in the towel when we talk about the MX2 factory team. Fortunately for Adam Sterry, a solution has been found for 2018 in the form of the F&H Kawasaki team.
In addition to the above rumors, which we base on solid sources, we also heard in the corridors that Paulo Martin, who sees his contract with Honda and HRC expire after this season, is showing interest in Suzuki. The manufacturer of the yellow motorcycles would like to stay in the World Cup. However, this with little to no budgetary support for a team. An option that Paulo Martin is inclined to because he can count on many personal sponsors.
