Maybe they offered him a nice chunk of money that he couldn't pass up, or perhaps he surprised himself and wants to make a serious comeback. Going to the races and finishing right behind the current world champion would have that kind of affect on his decision, I would imagine..

Heard rumors about Paulin moving to suzuki too (despite his contract with hrc for 2016)

If both true, Paulin and Townley for suzuki in mxgp seems like a good team !

Want this to be true, but not getting my hopes up after all the interviews about no interest in full time racing and committed to Honda.

Except when he rode for Mitch. Oh, and when he rode for KTM. So basically, yes, he's a Honda man...except when he's not.

April fools yeah... He officially said in a few itw that he's not doing anything after MXON, and he don't want to go back to MXGP. He said he got a family in New Zealand and he's happy with the life he's living.

Would be nice to have more info,

Has he signed to ride, signed on to help develop the bike?, combination team mentor / rider.

Is the OP full of shit?

Guess like all good rumors time will tell.
