Marvin has the better resume and it's not even close.

I just don't want that to become the norm, as I think the overall health of the sport needs both series to remain relevant. It's not that I don't want him to "do what's best for him" I just think that could easily turn into a pattern.
Who cares what they do at the end of their career? He’s been racing professionally since he was what, 16-17 years old? 15+ years. He’s earned to do what he wants.

With all respect Mookie is not even in the same league as Marvin.

Congrats on the new deal Marv!

I guess I’m just confused on what the parameters are for the forum approving going SX only. Is it titles? Is it wins? Age? just a general favoritism of the individual?

Because marv will retire after sx. Ktm would never do a SX only contract for several years. They need to be in mx bit they will have webb and plessinger for that when marv retires.

Dungey was effectively SX only in his final year, only difference being that it was never announced so it could be thrashed about on Vital. He more or less admitted this on the Real Talk 447 podcast (RIP Real Talk??)

It's pretty simple what people are countering you with. Marvin has had a much more successful career on pretty much every front, therefor he's earned the right to close out his career in this way. Your goalpost keeps moving for what would make his decision justifiable.

Good for him. Maybe KTM could sign a good GP rider for the outdoors on Marvs bikes? Would have worked out great for Desalle or Paulin if this deal was done at theend of 20.

Marv is a class act. Glad to see him re-sign.

Would be nice to see him title....but I fear those days are over.

It’s funny, I don’t recall many here ever giving Malcolm crap. He’s one of the most well liked riders by forum members. Do we all say we wish he would race MX too? Obviously. Who doesn’t want more competition? It’s an amazing thing to see any of these guys ride a dirt bike. I would say most of us want Marvin to race MX too but we (us with common sense) understand why he’s only doing SX.

I do not support SX-only deals so that's a thumbs down from me.
In Marv's case , I fully support it. I think any rider that wants to extend his career and have a little easier way of life , without the yearly grind , is ok in my book. Riders that have been around a long time should be rewarded with a little easier schedule in my opinion. Marv's in that group , and I'm glad he'll be around for a while longer without having to hang the boots up.

Nah...at the end of the day...

I've got no problem with anyone racing the stuff they wanna race. Last time I checked, this is a sport...or a lifestyle...or something we do for fun. Right?

Malcolm doing what he wants to do and getting paid for it is fine with me. IF the sponsors are happy...& the team is happy? More power to them.

Besides all that, is Malcom SX only at Rockstar?

2 year deal sx AND outdoors.

It shouldn't matter to anyone what series a rider chooses to ride or not ride. It's their career!

Good luck to Marvin in 2022. If riding in sx only keeps him around for another year or two, then that's fine by me.

Just happy he's racing, love Marv (and obviously you can't not love Mathilde) and hope he has a good run at it, seems like he's fallen off slightly lately but it's been weird times for everyone so who knows what'll happen next.

That's fair and I totally see that point.

Im very happy to see Matilde again in the 2022 sx season, here's hoping it will be a safe and winning one for Marvin too.

Why do you insist on calling Webb by the name he doesn't go by?

OT: Glad to see Marv give it one more go. It'll be fun to see what he can do with the new bike.

All signs point to it. My guess is he will be on orange. Will be exciting to see the guys on the new-gen bike, at least.
