Normally when it says Adam Wheeler then you can trust the text.
At least that's the plan right now. Last year they planned to have him race the Mx2 class in 2016 but changed the plans pretty late.

Exactly. When I saw it was from MotoOnline I was more skeptical, but since Wheeler wrote it...

Yentel Martens is the son of Jacky and he is doing great in the EMX300 class.

http://motomagazine.co.uk/news/martens-wins-again-as-kras-takes-emx300-…

Yentel Martens pulled off a double win in the EMX300 championship at his home track Lommel but it wasn’t enough to win the title as his rival Mike Kras finished runner-up in the second race to clinch the championship.

Kras, whose first overall win was last week’s Czech rounds despite winning a moto at every round until Lommel, started today 10 points adrift of Husky man Martens. So tailing him over the line meant the title belonged to the KTM-riding Dutchman Kras, who took the crown with a seven-point margin.

Kras again took the holeshot but Martens soon moved up from his fourth place start to catch him on the second lap. Kras let him past and stayed a safe second, with Michael Hool third, Dietger Damiaens fourth and Mike Vanderstraeten fifth.

Kras said: “I was really nervous yesterday but today was good. Yentel was too fast for me but I had the championship in the bag!”

Last year’s double winner Brad Anderson, seventh on day one, started the moto in 10th place on his GL12 Yamaha. He moved his way up to as his as fourth place but then dropped down to sixth at the chequered flag with an ailing bike, to secure third in the championship.

Anderson said: “It’s been an exciting EMX300 championship - I’ve enjoyed it. I had bad luck with bike situation at Valkenswaard and a mishap in Loket or else I’d have been in the hunt for the title.

“In both races at Lommel I had bike issues but hopefully we’ll sort it for next year if the series is still running.”

Matt Moffat, who in the opener pulled through from the back of the pack to take 11th, finished 15th in the second race to clinch fourth in the championship. Lewis Gregory, missing from the race after hurting his hand last week, ended the championship ninth.

Martens rides MX1 at the national races and isnt fast enough. He's comparable to Klein Kromhof (who did a couple of MX1 GP's this year).

Martens pits out of a factory rig run by his dad and probably has the best equipment possible, still lost the championship to a construction worker.

awesome. herlings, gajser, febvre, tc222 and a 100% fit panda should bring some great racing.

Can someone clarify this? Gajser signed a deal through 2020, is that with Gariboldi only or just Honda in general?

He is switching from Gariboldi to HRC MXGP for next season. He signed a long term deal with Honda last season. Essentially they can put him where they'd like, with some amount of tension and bargaining with each respective team. HRC is footing the majority of the racing bill and supplying the good stuff.

After being rejected by Jeremy Van Horebeek and supposedly Max Nagl, it doesn't seem like Everts is necessarily pushing for someone at the moment.

When I spoke to him at Lommel, he didn't really react when I mentioned Valentin Guillod and Arnaud Tonus, but then I was told another good MXGP rider could end up there. It sounds like Everts hasn't ruled out giving Jasikonis a shot either.

Ferris should get another shot, did pretty good in the GPs and would probably do it for peanuts .

I'd through my money at tixier for '18 and beyond. I really like his improvement from gp to gp. he is young and in '18 suzuki should get a all new bike that should make it more compelling to sign with them anyways. for next year they really missed out on a big name tho it seems.

I think both Ferris and Todd Waters were given up on too soon, they have the potential to be better than a rider like Charlier most weeks.

The fact that their names haven't come up at all in any silly season talks shows that it is the whole 'out of sight, out of mind' thing.

I agree, Ferris and Waters are a massive talent

Jasikonis was really good in Lommel too. In the first race he passed as last 30 sec behind the second last guy. At one moment he was riding faster as leader Nagl as they crossed eachother on a certain part of the track. At the end he faded away, but that's no shame. He's still only 19 I think.

I agree, Good ride and potential. Reminds me of Kino. Still think another young talent ( Martens) would add some future to the Everts team, Need to use Strijbos as the wise experienced teacher while he has some drive left in him.

Wasn't aware of that, I thought I heard Malin mention he was only 20? That's out of the question then.
