J-Mart to 450s?

TriRacer27

Assuming he's healthy for the outdoors, this seems like a golden opportunity to jump up to the 450s and claim some podiums. Any word on his health and if he's still planning on racing 250s?

I'm totally cool with small guys like JM6 riding 250s for as long as they want, but with a pretty depleted 450 field it does seem like it'd be a great opportunity to bump up to 450s.

He’s training at Club MX and he’s healthy and ripping on a YZ250F.

With Jett out of the class. Teams see this as a chance to win a title. Guys like J Mart, Cooper and RJ could run top 5 in the 450 class. But might be last chance to win a 250 championship.

Yeah no way that Club bike can be as reliable as the Star bike he and his brother had DNFs on…

And that was what in 2015 or 2016? How many DNF did club have last year a good bit. So good luck to them staying running

I had a very similar thought a few days ago.

It was marchbanks is crazy to drop back to 250mx. He should be the 1 racing 450s.

He would be lucky to top 10 this field. On the 450 he will be about 5th.

Didn’t the HRC 250s have a DNF last year? Or was it the year before? Anyhow, any of these built 250s can have an issue throughout the season, I think Club will be paying a little closer attention withJmarts 250, but anything can happen

He already has 2 titles in this class. Sure make some money, but, unfortunately for j mart, this ship has sailed, sunk, been refloated and is now like a floating museum with a diner in it.

Does race wins and a possible title run in 250s pay more than racking up 4-6 results in 450s? I think he makes more money in the 250 class
