Agree,
Don't think we will see a Roczen / Herlings level kid soon. It's already unbelievable we had two 15 year old kids winning GP's at that age.
Now we have Davey Pootjes from Holland and Brian Hsu from Germany as potential MX stars but these two should also be winning MX2 GP's in 2015 to be a next Herlings / Roczen and to be honest, I don't see that happening.

Pff, it's all the camera, right? All you do is push a button. It's just like motocross, all you do is turn the throttle, the bike does all the work! LaughingLaughingLaughing *heavy sarcasm alert*

Haha this sport. You're not wrong, but its crazy to think that being 15 already puts him behind great riders like Kenny and Herlings. 15!

We have lots of very young guys coming up like Hsu, Pootjes, Gajser (well he's already up there), Jonass, pretty sure some american amateurs as well.
But you cant even expect a kid to win a pro moto or GP with 15 years of age like Roczen and Herlings did.
Even Adam C is still young but he did his pro debut with almost 17 years if I remember correctly.

But watch out for Jorge Prado. He rides the 125 already with 13 years old (about the same time as Roczen). And he has all the support from KTM and RedBull (I believe he has a contract for the next 3 years), so its all on him.

KTM are stocking up on promising young talent; Mewse, Prado, Natzke, Savaste, Geerts, Pootjes, Jonass - all coming through on the conveyor belt. The EMX125 class should be pretty good next season! I am interested to see how Pootjes will do if he rides some MX2 races along with his scheduled EMX2.

It will be interesting to see how Jonass does in MX2 as well after a winter of getting trained by Everts. I think Pootjes might be the most talented out of the two of them but then again Jonass hasn't got to show his full potential yet on on big bikes.

Agree, Calvin is coming in under the radar with all these kids going directly to the KTM factory teams.
He has a lot of potential.
Good to see him on a Dutch team so he will race the Dutch Nationals.

He's still very young and needs to grow and get stronger so probably an second year in EMX125 like Pootjes and Mewse did. If he cleans up the class like Herlings did he might move to MX2 GP's direclty but most likely the normal route through the EMX250 class like Jonass, Vlaanderen, Pootjes etc etc

Brian Bogers will be another one to watch on that HSF Logistics team too. Zaragoza on the Honda could be a dark horse as well if he gains some strength and stays on.

Watch out for Kim Savaste, he will be a top 5 mx2 guy in 3-4 years IF he stays healthy!
