Kid has such an awesome style. I always remember in Lommel on the 125, Paul Malin said he looked like on a sunday stroll, so effortless!

Like Mitch Payton has said(if I remember correctly) Speed is the only thing you can't teach.

Kid is very humble, crazy talented, hard working and has loads of potential that (in my eyes) barely been noticed by the big teams in Europe. He luckily had a good opportunity with Raths KTM as a fill in rider as his prior team didn’t have alot of budget. He had some injuries which limited his potential but finally he get’s the opportunity he deserves. He is points leader at ADAC (Germany) Youngster Cup, which Jett Lawrence won in 2018..

Believe me guys, when I know he is on track at our local then I’ll always make sure to watch him. Style/technique on point and even though he is the most humble guy off track, on track he is a warrior. Let’s go Guillem!

Super humble kid who seems to be not only fast, but very smart too.

It is weird that with how fast he is, how well he expreses himself (I am sorry but I am ashamed to listen some spanish riders in front of a mic, and I don't mean speaking english...) that he as not been more noticed in europe... Hell he is spanish and I actually never paid much atention until this season.

Definely he is a good asset for a team, he has a lot of potential y is someone who can represent a team in a good way. Very happy for him!

If he doesnt crash, he will do really well I believe. Didn't know much about him until he got picked up by Raths Motorsports this year. Hes got some serious potential. Definitely a kid that isnt afraid to twist the throttle. I know a few MX2 teams that were interested in picking him up. Hes gonna surprise a lot of people, and will more than likely get a holeshot this weekend.

This is good prep for MXoN too... if he gets it together, with Fernandez and Prado, you got a solid team.

Heard he paid $17k to ride the bike.

But all jokes aside, I'm with Renner - he'll lead a lap.

10-15.

The fact he is scratting for a ride mid season tells us enough.

Fast between crashes.

Mid pack EMX rider

Still young though.

He got pretty well noticed this year and allready tested bikes for top mx2 teams for next year. And to be honest i'm surprised Star picked him up because i expect him to already be under contract for next year.

He is a very nice kid & and also very fast. Wish him all tge best

in a field of 24, that had a few guys out injured.

On paper, Elzinga is a better rider.

I hope this kid comes in and puts in a top 5 effort and we see a 4/5 euro finish in the 250 class

Do you know if he races the rest of the series? He's leading the ADAC series, I would have thought he races the next one in 2 weeks. But not sure what his deal with Raths is or which bike he's on at mxdn. Very surprising deal to me but definitely fast guy. Capable of top 10s if he has a good day, I think. And if he doesnt crash which happens a lot

I love stories like this, relatively unknown guy from a foreign nation getting a crack at a factory team here in the USA!

The post just says Budds, I guess this is more of a fill-in while Romano heals up. Does anyone know or think that this is a tryout type deal as well?

Whatever happened to Thomas Ramette? He was another euro guy Star had on for a while.

From what I was told it will be for these next two race. Back to Raths for ADAC and MXON. Im not sure of his deal with Raths/Ktm for the future, but I have to guess this is a tryout. I think he could could be 8-12 if he doesn’t crash. He can pack some speed and isn’t afraid to get a start. I know of a few MX2 teams that were wanting to scoop him up, but looks like star got the jump.

Super cool of Niklas and the Raths team to allow him to hop on this opportunity and then bounce back for the euro swing.
