Interesting in watsons last interview he said if he had the time again he would do it different. He specifically mention he had no trainer and thought that was a mistake. Its a crazy idea but thought it would be good if he had someone like TS100 just like he had Jamie dobb. Think some one in his corner giving him advice would be good.

Also mentioned that he didn’t really make any changes with the bike. Hopefully if he gets the kawi ride he’s given the opportunity and full support for what he wants then I think he could be really fast. I was most impressed by his starts this year as his gate picks were terrible from poor qualifying. Do think he needs to improve there but does show he’s a great starter.

Also think people forget to quick especially Yamaha as he was top mx1 guy at MXON poor from Yamaha IMO.

For me, if you are on a factory team, you shouldnt need to be paying your own guy , the Factory Yamaha set up was big enough for them to have someone .

There is a reason Dobb isnt in the paddock any more, he was a parasite that fucked over more guys than he helped,

He got found out, and good thing too.

The 'Covid' life has screwed Ben's chances big time, because with a condensed schedule, and no qualy races. and very few weekends off to do nationals, making changes is a difficult thing to do .... the golden rule with any changes , is to always start with what you know, then try what you you want to try , else you get lost, which we have seen over and over.

Like i have said before , he worked with Vimond at Yamaha, and was working with Febvre already.and the family is known to Kimi from when Nathan raced for them, i genuinely think he can be a contender , he has 8 years left in him easily. .

If you look at the "KTM Group" MXGP riders, it appears that they are just down the one rider - Antonio Cairoli.

Herlings is still there, Prado with Red Bull Gas Gas DeCarli. Them already, and still, both being Red Bull, with , hopefully, AC being a 'roving' ''Do Whatever The Bloody Hell He Wants, Wherever He Bloody Wants, Whenever He Bloody Wants To, Rider''. Though, it will be interesting what colour bike he's on. I'd think He / KTM would want him to be on an Orange version of their bike, after so many years.

The Standing Construct Husky Team ( I wonder what, if any 'beverage', they might have an association with) , if the above list proves to be correct, has 2 riders, with Bogers and Jonas - who's just going from Red to White - so I don't see any real contraction , "because of MotoGP" that so many seem to think there is.

Antonio Cairoli + Arminas Jasikonis + Thomas Kjer Olsen + Isak Gifting; thats actually 4 riders.
They'll go from 6 factory teams in 2021 to 4 in 2022.

Has anyone seen any footage or images of Ben on the kawi. When you read the press release they don’t have much time to get that new team ready. Ben said he’s getting the ride height and bars set before crimbo so only a month or so before season starts.

Glen Meier will race 8 GP's MX2 for "EasyMx Powered by Young Motion". He did 6 GPs this year including a couple of top 15 finishes as a true privateer. As in dad as mechanic and together with girlfriend in a van at races.

We will announce other riders soon. And we will follow Glen and the other riders with a camerateam at GPs, in Spain during preseason and at home & work, etc.

Late to the party on this, but is it just me, or does it seem kind of crazy to start the season in England in February? I can only imagine the weather there is likely to be pretty crappy. Maybe they are just starting early with the expectation that there could be some races that have to get rescheduled like in 2021? The GP riders off season will be shorter than the US guys

Honestly, the weather in England is always a gamble, doesn't matter what season. 😆

Diga Procross won't be a real factory team but a factory supported team. They will race 2022 factory bikes, while the real factory teams will ride the 2023 bikes. That is what SE told.

Ruben Fernandez showed the world the bike is fast. I had the chance to try it and believe me, it is good. And yes, words on the street is Hakon already signed.

I had the same thoughts when I saw the calendar, for God's sake why a GP in the Netherlands in March, it's always cold and wet.
No, nice to Indonesia in the middle of the summer, that's a good plan!!!
We had perfect weather in Oss last summer, the atmosphere is so much better when the weather is nice.

No. Although I'm sure he's putting the laps in. There are a lot of teams and riders waiting for bikes/graphics/gear to be finalised or even delivered so there won't be any more team announcements until January. If you take a close look at some of the bikes in recent press releases, there's quite a few things not quite finalised with some of the bikes...

England is a safer bet that the race will still go ahead. England has more relaxed rules for corona than most other European countries & with the emergence of Omi the GP schedule could have another tough year. Altho it sounds like UK will go into another lockdown in early January so hopefully by feb we will b all systems go 💪🏻
