Just had an email. No reason given.

"The rider finishes his successful stage in GasGas with the accomplishment of several championships such as the Trial of the Nations Outdoor in 2018, the X-Trial des Nations 2019 and the victory in the Hungarian and Japanese GP in 2018. In addition, the bronze medals at the X-Trial and the Spanish Trial Championship of 2018.

The GasGas family congratulates Jaime for his achievements and wishes him good luck and success for his professional future. "

Torrot is pulling the purse strings tight on Gas Gas. Factory Team is pulling back from Enduro World Championship, and now this. Worldwide sales are below targets, and GG is looking to cut costs. They want to furlough 50 or so factory employees, due to this lack of sales.  I think Torrot is beginning to question whether an "Electric Urban Mobility Company" is a good fit, with an "Off Road Motorcycle Company"?

Busto will ride for Vertigo this season, but I'd venture he'll be back to Montesa/Honda, just as soon as Fuji retires.....

Busto's social media has seemed to indicate he might be taking a year out. He also appears to have been injured (ankle) quite recently. 

Maybe doing that road jump he posted on IG a few days ago?!?
