So cole seeley is coming out of retirement to race kids who just graduated to the pros? Seems awesome for him. 😒 Why doesnt Josh Grant ride a PC KX 250 and get a championship? Or James Stewart come back and race a 250? And we wonder why Europe has gotten so fast. We dont let the young guys get a chance to show their speed and learn skills. They get smoked by 30 year old factory riders and forgotten about.

If a young hot shot is getting smoked by a 30 year old retired guy, that’s their problem..

Here comes the annual hate threads that happen when someone older with more employable skills than someone younger chooses to use them to make money because they have a finite window.

This sport will always have a handful of older pros racing the smaller class because they can make more money doing it. It’s always about money.

I disagree with you here. If there was someone that would fit in the program Seely is running then they would hire that person. Why pay for someone that hasn’t proven themselves?

If Seeley comes out of retirement and gets smoked by the new kids, he goes back into retirement none the worse for wear. If he comes out of retirement and smokes the kids, they need to go back to the drawing board and figure out why they got smoked by a 30+ year old who hasn't raced in 4 years.

I doubt he’s getting support from Honda, all MCR.

Is this post for real? Someone actually sat down, organized a thought, and said... " I gotta throw this out there, on the old interweb!"

This term “trying to stay relevant” gets thrown around a lot here..
maybe he just loves racing his dirt bike, like the rest of us..

More competition breeds faster rookies, not the other way around. Seeley's presence will only make the young guys work a little harder.

There's a whole LOT of 450 guys who need to figure out how a guy just like that...Ryan Dungey, is smoking them week in and week out outdoors.

James Stewart coming out of retirement to race the 250 class would be the best thing to ever happen to this sport. Don't tease my emotions like that, bro.

What do you want him to do?
You get an opportunity to race a dirt bike and get paid, you take it.
Seriously this is one of the dumbest things I’ve read today.

National Champion; of course he's eligible. Doesn't even need to qualify. He just shows up at the starting gate and they'll give him the 40th gate choice.

I could see that for the 450 class. But will they allow him to do it in the 250 class?
