Heard over the weekend that  Kawasaki informed Ryder D that they dont have room for him after his Team Green contract expires  at the end of the year so i guess as rumored  he will be riding for Gas Gas next year

So weird that the invest all of that money in him on his way up and then don't even try to keep him in the pro ranks. Maybe they know something we don't but seems odd.

I think Mumford will at the very least be with PC for a partial season, but I would be surprised if he didn’t keep the ride for the rest of the year.

Sounding more likely.

Pc have 3 fit riders ATM. Jo, ryder d and jett r

Mumfy is pushing for the final spot.

Payton is telling him no. Coz he doesn't want to give him 4 rounds then have to bench him.

Hammaker is due back round 2-4.

Forkner and mcadoo about august or something they both to be back mid national to get on there game for smx.

Crazy how Ryder D has been with team green for a VERY long time and they couldn’t find a spot for him for turning pro?

Colt to Clubmx 450 would be cool. Back on a Yamaha, good facility, great tester.

Seems weird to me that every PC rider besides Forkner, Reynolds and Hammaker had to try out for the team. Mc"Adoo,  Shimoda , Mumford and now Ryder D has to prove they belong ?

Just saw on IG that Daxton Bennick has signed with Star for the next 2 years. Smart signing in my opinion, that kid has a ton of potential.

What’s up with the chatter about Club MX taking over the 250 team from one of the factories? Hearing maybe they're going to maybe handle KTM’s 250 program?

If that’s true I am surprised Vialle signed up to come over and get shuffled to a satellite team like that.

To be fair, he could have been unaware/it’s a new development, he may have a provision in his contract ensuring he stays under the factory awning, or he might be planning on being on a 450 by the time it occurs…if it’s true at all.

And this comment isn’t to besmirch the folks at ClubMX, they seem to be picking up steam and have a cool program going, but it seems like it would be an odd move for a multi-time World Champion that just joined the US series.

I saw Matthes post on twitter that Club is "talking" with other OEMs, If I was a betting man I'd say they are just gonna be on a different color bike. I wouldn't think they are taking a Factory Program maybe just for training purposes, like moving away from Baker? But I could 100% be wrong, cause I don't know shit about shit.

I dunno, would it really be a step backwards?  The Factory KTM 250 Team hasn't exactly had a resume full of wins.....really none if you take Marv & Kenny out of the equation....beyond those 2 it's been a place where 250 careers go to get knocked down a peg.

Which is pretty ironic given that most here think ol' Rog walks on water and anyone who rides for him is destined to be a champion due to his powers Tongue

I would think that Club would be a factory supported landing spot for the up and coming KTM group riders and not the current factory riders and/or team...

True, but has anybody gotten off the KTM and got on another brand and got any better results?

Shane McElrath results were way better when he switched from KTM to the Star program. I believe your son does his vlogs correct? Ask him.

He is the one and only that greatly improved after leaving KTM (TLD). I cannot think of any others.
