Puno se pričalo o tome da će se Tim Gajser preseliti u Ameriku. Čak je i on sam nekoliko puta izjavio da bi želio probati supercross, ali na to ćemo morati još pričekati određeno vrijeme.
Nakon osvajanja MX2 titule 2015. godine te MXGP titule 2016. godine, ova godina nažalost nije bila onakva kakvu si je Tim poželio niti kakvu su mnogi njegovi fanovi očekivali. Upravo na potpisivanju novog ugovora, kojie ga veže za Hondu i MXGP do 2020. godine, Tim je izjavio da ima nedovršenog posla i da je spreman boriti se za titulu.
“I’m really happy to be in MXGP for another two years. We have unfinished business from this year and I want to be World Champion again, so we will continue to fight with that as the priority. HRC have been working hard on the bike and there are quite a few changes they’ve made which are very good, so I’m really looking forward to the challenge of next year and I think we have a very strong package to fight for the title. The whole team are hungrier than ever for next year, and I’ve said it before but we just get on really like a family where everything works, so really I have everything I need there and feel very happy.”
