MSV are very good at paying towards, or all of a riders salary if they want them in the series. It certainly happened when bringing Josh Brookes back a few years ago with Anvil, who were very much a one man band and certainly not a team that could afford a rider of that calibre.

They’re very good at steering sponsors towards a certain team as well to help with salary demands. The last thing the series needs is someone else leaving when they are capable of riding.

If Shakey is medically fit to race, he will.

I think Mossey will be off to McCams.
Ben Currie to JG.

Mossey has been very poor this year and also was not that great after such a good start to 2017, maybe coz Haslam was leading the development and the bike was poor for Luke.

Byrne, I know he's great, but personally would like to see new blood. He is bitter coz of what happened and still clearly can do a job, one hopes, but personally would prefer younger riders in the series.

I would say maybe Kennedy on Mcams. Two 600 ish riders on that bike might push it forward well.

Mossey had a fk off big crash though, breaking his back so I can understand the drop in form after that.

Indeed, but there is no sentiment in bike racing really, and his form this year has been poor.

My assumption was that Gino and Mossey will be riding as part of a two bike team next year.

Do they actually want to run 2 bikes ?

It was shakey who started this whole thing by tweeting the moto rapido boss asking if fancies getting a bike for him in 2019 , up to that point there was no mention of running 2 bikes.
