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:-
Rugby: Manx players selected for Sale Sharks player development system
Basketball: Thrilling start to 2026/27 Manx season
Swimming: Island competitor sets new European and British record
Boxing: Tyson Fury's sons part of Manx squad to face Merseyside & Cheshire
