As American I maybe would choose to ride the ADAC and French Elite 125 class. Because the American pro scene has not that much of sand tracks and that combined with EMX125 and training at Lommel, Grevenbroich, Honda Park Balen in the winter combined with some Italian, Spanish and French hard pack and your rider has tons of baggage that will come in handy in the future. A rider as Joshua Varize would be perfect to try this out. He's not the best of the class but I think if he can work more and harder then the rest and race more against high level competition he could become a big star in the future.
I also remember the time when Vohland (the dad) went back to America and everyone was talking about his corner speed that made him a instant championship contender.
Indeed it seems there are more races in europe between let us say 14 to turning pro at 18. I would say most do about 30 races per year (half very important, half more local). Plus for sx oriented riders, in france you can also add about 12 races. Anyway I don't know if it is the best solution either, since it takes a lot of time & resources travelling.
Are they 7 laps , or are they timed, cos by my maths it makes it 10+1 .
Either way that seems ridiculously short, this is the top Amateur class right?
Even the EMX 150 class, that was effectively an arrive and ride class for 11-14 year olds ran 20+2
I dont recall Lorettas races being that short.
And btw Desalle scipped all those classes, and started rigt in MX! at 17 years of old
. Thats wwy seems like a dude must be like 45

Lars made some great additions to their helmets
All the money that gets thrown at Amateur racing and they run 44 classes, 35 of which mean next to nothing .
just unbelievable.
$110 per class, with everyone riding 3-5 classes starts adding up,
It wouldnt be worth going for 1 class.
But again not to bash US system but KTM should try it out with one of their prospects. What effect does one or two years EMX125 on developing youngsters.
Racing a dutch sand track one week, then moving over to something more hard packed in Italy or France the next, then across to the UK for a mud race. Seems to me like as far as developing well rounded motocross riders that is a more viable route to take.
But the US guys are aiming for supercross, so manicured and groomed practice tracks are the go to in that scenario. Different end goal i think between the two continents.
