I thought I read somewhere that Broc Tickle had worked out a deal with them to race for them once he’s back next year on a 250? I can’t remember where I read that.
that would be cool to see, they need someone decent as right now they dont even really have podium contenders let alone title contendors.

Maybe ML512 knows, but who does TLD have as a test rider? With all these young kids, and a lot of them complaining of "setup" issues, figure they need a reliable person just to give valuable feedback. For example, PC has Tedesco; STAR has Will Hahn (and, sounds like Travis Preston has been doing some work on the bike).

I believe Ryan Morais is still the one doing the testing.

If he has it his way, according to his dad, he will spend a year racing a 125 before moving up to a 250f. Based on his and Tyson's experience and watching the kids that moved up the last few years, he feels it would be better for him to gain experience and strength before being thrown to the wolves regardless of his speed on a bike.

Will he race in USA or will he be the first big name American EMX125 rider?
His idea was to be racing in the US but it was just a conversation and Tallon said he was going to speak to them about it and see where it goes. Obviously, they will ultimately have to do what TLD and KTM want but he did seem apprehensive of jumping in too soon before Max was 100% ready. The Vohland's are a very savvy motocross family and I'm sure Max will do well no matter which route they take. EMX125 would be pretty cool!

How cool would that be if Max could race a few rounds of EMX125? It was on the radar in the past, but maybe scheduling was going to be tough. Cheers to a hell of a minicycle run! Can't believe the last mini race is next week... time flies.

At Star they also have Ferrandis who is, coupled with DV, i think one of the very best in term of testing/set up. The only weakness is getting starts consistently, but if this is figured out the duo will wrap up more championships !
