If the rumours are true Gas Gas will be boosting their Trial GP ranks with both Busto and Fajardo for 2018

 

not confirmed officially yet, but that's what being mentioned

Nah, I don't buy it. Busto and Bou seem pretty happy together, with Busto the clear successor, and they both know it. I can't imagine GasGas can offer Busto more money than Honda, so unless he's dreadfully unhappy there, I can't see any reason he'd leave.

Guess we'll find out!

Having said that, there is a great post on Instagram by Fuji of all the 'off-road' guys, including Marquez, but Busto isn't to be found. I'm sure the conspiracy theorists will enjoy it...

I hope it's wrong, if gas gas are going to support Busto,  Fajardo and Dabill they've learnt nothing.

Also what happens to the Peace brothers, Jack Price, Grattarola, Farre, Kadlec? 

Way to many riders already 

Could be gossip. But it's already taking over FB

Toni Bou's facebook page says he stay's.

I think GG going after Busto would be a bold move... and would definitely indicate they put a lot of emphasis on the bikes, GP and the results, which I think would be great for them as a company. But as mentioned, carrying three guys on the payroll seems crazy. Has Dibs been confirmed for 2018 already or no?

Interesting stuff in the Trials offseason!

My Trials Draft Picks for 2018:

Fajardo - Yes, GG. Done deal.

Busto - Stays put (tho tempted by a big GG offer)

Dibs - Vertigo re-romance to ride off into the sunset with...

 

My guess

If Busto moves to GG, then Dibs is back with Beta... who knows

but I am much more sure about Bou stays, Raga stays. Fajardo to GG...

 

time will tell! 

 

I've been tempted by an offer of a meal deal at Greggs

Share the deal - much more interesting than wtc.

bou is going to win and everybody will still be moaning stop allowed - no stop .yes he did - no hi didn’t .

if busty to gg then Toby to mont may be best move of all??

 

I’d say judging by the Honda racing post and Fuji’s posts on social media regarding 2018 then busto has definitely gone , I’d say it’s a very bold move indeed if he has , but if he’s shrewd enough he could mould the gas gas around himself and be there next Adam raga , fajardo will get bored again in two years time and move on again , 2018 is shaping up to be a very very interesting year 

Without going into deep stats Fajardo hasnt improved for the last 5 years. Sherco should have got him.

If Busto goes to GG then its going to be a waiting game till Toni goes off the boil but with the way hes riding and his salary why would he. ever?

I’m sure people said the same about dougie back in the day , Toni won’t reign forever , busto is the only one at the moment who can really start to challenge him soon , his results will start coming in I’m sure , maybe he’s moved to step out of bou’s shadow and go it alone
