Ok so this is one of the worst kept secrets in the MXGP paddock right now but with all the bad news flooding into the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing camp at the moment i think it's time for some well deserved good news. Covington will be finishing his final year in the FIM Motocross World Championship so fans of MXGP need not worry... yet. From next year though he will return to the US and will be racing in the Monster Energy Supercross and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross for the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team.

Thomas Covington

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing

"I'm just really motivated this second half of the season, you know, I'm going back to the 'States' to race supercross and outdoors with Husky there, so I'm just going to get as many wins as possible out there."

As good as this news is for Covington I'm not sure how this news will drop in the current Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory riders tents. Anderson is safe, that is a given as im pretty sure the current champion would not be dropped lol. Osborne, also a double 250 SX Champion, will be moving up to the 450's next year so that's two spots taken... Dean Wilson is the one i am worried about and I am sure this will be a worry for him. Sure Covington will be filling Ozbornes place on the 250s but is there room for more 450s? Only time will tell.
