Where will Justin Cooper and Eli Tomac land for 2025? Who already has a deal? What about 250 teams? Will Troy Lee Designs still run the GasGas effort in the future or will GasGas and Husqvarna become more integrated into each other as co-factory teams? We run you through the info we know, right here.

I think Craig should be on a and b-team Honda or Yamaha next year?

[@JordanEmede_376]

Are you saying a B team or what? He's been on both factory teams previously and his results don't warrant either right now. If you mean like a Phoenix Honda or a club Yamaha I would fully agree with you.

[@petersenrodsandhobbies821]

With Ducati coming in 26 it gives them a year to get shop set up with TLD. The two brands are both iconic, and I can't think of a better way to break into US MX.

Man if KTM group lets Farres go they're dumb as hell... 8-5-6-8 outdoors last year before someone ran into him and broke his arm. Then starts his SX career with 2 top 10s before getting hurt because the bike broke in the whoops. Are they gonna drop him because he got hurt because their bike broke? wow

[@abuskiZSRR]

I do agree Farres is a great prospect with an insane potential, but he is not well treated by Husq, and apparently the kid is all alone in the US, must be hard on every aspect.

How insane would it be to have Tomac and Deegan at Ducati in 2026?! That would sell the living snot out of that bike and help develop their team immensely. Man… I hope it happens. Deegan could train with Eli and John in Cortez. That would be one hell of a team.

[@MrIke303]

@@georgelynch6139 Deegan sells more bikes than any other rider in the world right now. Guaranteed. Ducati wants to break into the U.S. motocross market, you go with someone like Deegan. “Mentally stable”? You’re a petty hater. Tomac is still fast and was dealing with injury this past SX season. Still won. He’s going to come back better than what he was this year. He also has a huge following and an incredible amount of experience. He could help develop the 450. It’s a no brainer.

[@MrIke303]

@@georgelynch6139 I’m not talking about comparing brands. You must not realize how many people bought a Yamaha or as KTM (when he rode KTM) just because Deegan rides it. Thousands of bikes were sold because of him. I myself have seen hundreds of comments over the years of people saying they bought a particular bike because of him. It’s foolish to think he doesn’t sells bikes by riding them on his social media accounts. That’s how marketing works.

Love ET3 but when he said he was instead of retiring going to continue It was inevitable he would end up injured but some riders really baffle me how they keep getting top line contracts looking elsewhere.

[@user-dh3dy9yi7b]

No idea how Anderson even could be coming back in 2025 they need to bring riders that can win at kawi they spend so much money on people who won’t win

[@zacharykasprzyk3671]

I agree Ando is on the back side of his career now but I think it’s mostly because he already had a contract for next year lined up and it’s not cheap. Whatever they are paying Prado next season plus buying out Ando on top of hiring another rider is probably not in the budget. If all the rumors are true and they are going after Deegan the following year likely just biding their time until he is ready to move up.
