"A total of 50 elite A & B class riders, 25 per region, will be invited by the amateur race team manager from each manufacturer, where an all-day combine of classroom-style racing education will help provide a framework for the expectations and demands of the sport’s professional level."

"In addition to the educational component of the combine, riders will also take to the track at each respective National. A pair of 25-minute-plus-two-lap motos will be contested on the same layout as the pros at both Ironman Raceway and Fox Raceway, providing an opportunity to gauge the potential of this collection of riders who aspire to embark on a successful career at the professional level. These racers will also be recognized with a ceremonial parade lap during opening ceremonies at each event, along with two half-hour highlight shows on MAVTV Motorsports Network."

This came up in another thread and seems to have flown under the radar. It is exciting to see new ideas tried to develop a feeder system for the pro's.

This sounds like huge news, an east and west feeder system in the nationals?! Sounds like it will be a 250f class, just an educated guess.

There will also be 30 minute highlight shows on MAVTV for these races! I hope we can watch them for free on YouTube or at least with our peacock subscription.

Definitely a step in the right direction from my perspective

I think Hymas will have the fastest 40, and Romano will kill it with his vertical. Will there be a Wonderlic test?

Is this happening the same day as the national? Correct me if I’m wrong, but the given reason for the 125 all-star races being killed off was “not enough time in the day” correct?

I'm not too crazy about the factories calling the shots again. Truth is in today's environment that is what everyone is waiting for, a factory invitation.

Bigger news than the Triumph release.

I guess we won't be seeing Deegan at these Combines until he's the fastest one there.

He also doesn't qualify per the post above. Should have raced a big bike at LL's I guess, but it's not like he needs the extra exposure anyway.

I wasn't expecting him this Friday...lol. I'll be shocked if he does any of them, this year or next.

deegan should do the pala round to see how he stacks up to some of the top 250 450 riders .hell he might surprise a couple people ....if he doesnt win he would atleast know where he is and what he needs to work on ..you never know like i said he could either get alot more people talking about how good he is or it might shut alot of people up about this deegan vs ryder d thing..i think people making rivalrys between riders is great for the sport especially between two kids that should go along way in this sport ..i always loved watching reed and bubba going at it the sport needs more of that and who better than ryder d and deegan cant wait for the upcoming years between those two

Hopefully they will keep the names to East Region and West Region.

Believe it or not, that is the official name of the 250 Supercross classes, East Region and West Region, not East Coast, West Coast.
