Now you've read that, here are the juicy tales of the week...
Jeremy Van Horebeek has definitely re-signed with Yamaha after courting almost every team in the paddock, Glenn Coldenhoff is signed and sealed as new partner to Tony Cairoli, Todd Waters keeps his ride at IceOne and KRT is simply awaiting protocol to announce Clement Desalle.
Without a factory ride Tommy Searle will join Steve Dixon for GPs and the Maxxis and Shaun Simpson will get factory Toomers if he signs for Steve Turner. If there's budget for three riders Jake Nicholls will stay.
The Everts takeover at Suzuki will not be announced this weekend at Lommel but it looks like Kevin Strijbos will stay as all other options are full.
Down in MX2 Brian Hsu will join Jeremy Seewer in the GPs, Aleksandr Tonkov is signed at Standing Construct, Jorge Zaragoza is confirmed for a second year at Gariboldi, Max Anstie and Thomas Covington will front Husqvarna operations and Steve Dixon will run Vsevelod Brylyakov, the Russian who has put in some sensational rides at Uddevalla.
And no corporate boss is officially saying a word!
