The rumoured move of Jeremy Seewer to Wilvo Yamaha’s MXGP team looks stronger than ever after the squad announced it’s being backed by clothing firm iXS in a new three-year deal.

Seewer, without a ride since Suzuki axed its MXGP team recently, has been linked with a Wilvo Yamaha ride alongside Shaun Simpson and Arnaud Tonus. Seewer has been backed by iXs for many years, so the move could be a signal he’s about to be revealed as a third rider.
