Great Job by American rider Darien Sanayei on his Moto 1 win
at the MXGP Matterley Basin on May 24
Does anyone know if he is racing this weekend's MXGP in France?
Does anyone know where online I could watch the EMX250 race?
When is Darien going pro..?

Recently my son (65) rider and I were at His 956 Facility (Masterpools) training. My son and Darien were alternating practicing starts. After a few attempts into it, Darien's father offered their help and Darien proceeded to work with my son for half an hour focusing on starts. They seem like really nice people and were willing to give of their time to a young rider. I became a fan that day.

Yup, That sounds like Darian Sanayei.

I doubt Darien will race MX2. i believe he is still planning on LL's again this year before making the jump to the pro class. And yes , Darien is a cool kid for sure. He has some crazy speed , but he has gotten faster in this past year than what I thought was possible. I see a bright future in this kid. The NW has been filling a lot of spots in the Lites class lately. Hill , Biseglia , Alldredge , ect......makin' us NW guys proud.

He rode really well in the first moto last weekend, he reeled in the leader Adam Sterry with a few laps to go and Sterry (in front of his home fans) has been the guy to beat most rounds this year. Not sure what happened in the second EMX race as we had to leave before it started.

Classy looking rider thoughand I hope Steve Dixon decides to offer him a deal for the remainder of the season.

Serré is the man to beat yes, but Desprey have won half of the races...

if I had to guess I'd say Graulus will end up with the title. He just had a very bad weekend in italy and it's only 4/9 races so far.
Or Desprey if he doesnt keep having DNFs...

Was really impressed by him. He didn't look all that great in qualifying and was around mid pack. But he really stepped it up for the first race, got a good start and ran solid second. Was maybe a little fortunate that Adam Sterry toppled off when miles in front and that allowed him the chance to reel him in. But he took that opportunity really well. An impressive European debut for sure

Come on Phil, you can give credit occasionally! Smile Sterry fell on the fourth lap and Sanayei consistently posted faster laptimes for the rest of the moto. You can't say he didn't ride well?

He rode really well that first moto, Sterry had bent forks and said the bike was kicking on him and gave him arm pump after he crashed. But either way impressive first moto from Darian Sanayei. Bit tougher in the second but a bad start in that class isn't easy as it's so competitive. Overall it was an impressive debut!

We spoke with Darian after that impressive first moto and he was undecided whether he would stay with Dixon or go back to the USA

I think it's good that some Amateurs from America are giving the route of turning pro in Europe some consideration. It was great to see Covington do it, and it would be cool if Sanayei went the same way too. It might be an option that we see more young riders take, given that you can turn pro in Europe 3 years earlier than you can in America

I'm pretty sure that Dixon stated that he would ride the MX2 class in France, and if he did well they would consider signing him for the rest of the year,

No Darian Sanayei in MX2 free practice this morning in France. Guess he has decided to keep his options open at least for now.

If he rides MX2, he can't race Loretta's.... or maybe he can't if he scores points in MX2..... either way, he won't risk racing MX2 until a deal is all signed, sealed and delivered

He had goggle issues in the second Moto and he's back getting ready for Mammoth and Loretta's. If he does well there will likely be better offers. If not, he can always go back to Europe.

It will be interesting to see how well guys like Covington do as far as getting a good US ride, once they come back to the US.

No I mean will teams be eager to sign them or not, since the have been basically out of sight out if mind in Europe.
