It looks as if Manx Enduro star David Knight will not be riding for the Red Bull KTM team next season, when he returns to the World Championship.
The move will end a five year association with the manufacturer.
The Ballaugh rider admits to being "bored" by the Grand National Cross-Country series in the United States.
He made his debut last year and won the title, and currently has a 42 point lead as he defends the crown.
Knighter won World titles in 2005 and 2006, and says a return to the World stage will remotivate him:-
Football: Div 2 top two to meet in crunch midweek clash
Ben Birchall: Sidecar TT competition 'good for the sport'
Snooker: Cue Zone Blinders retain league title
Football: Peel win Women's FA Cup to secure season double
London Marathon: "some great performances from Isle of Man runners"
Cycling: Cavendish to return to racing this weekend
