How old is Cody Cooper?  Didn’t think he was still racing.

It wasn't long ago that team GB had a team that was a podium threat. I can't see that happening again for a while! Are there any young up and comers on the horizon that are showing promise?

Did not express interest is what I hear ,  maybe getting a bike in Europe an issue.   Not an unlimited budget for a small nation,  and not a lot of kawi connections there now

Coop still going! I remember 25 plus years ago on the track out the back off Marton, he had returned to racing on a CR125!!!

He is still fit and fast! Experience counts!

That’s sad, but unfortunately reality for many nations.

Looking at the EMX125 and 250 standings right now. 0 GBR riders on points in EMX125, 1 rider with 5 points and 34th in the EMX250 standings.

That is mental. UK moto is in a pretty bad shape.

I really, really, really don't want to turn this thread into yet another bullshit politics thread, but has there been a drop off in GB talent since Brexit? Is it harder for our up and comers to be based out of Belgium for the winter?

Yeah. I'm not sure if he's had the (knee) surgery yet. But apparently it's been scheduled, and he'll also miss the NZ summer season.

I thought he had been injured coz he pulled out of the aus mx. But then I seen photos of him a couple weeks ago racing a nz race with the red plate on.

Yeah, he rode last week at the "battle of the teams" event at Taupo (fundraiser for the MXON campaign). I believe its an injury where while its possible to still ride (with knee braces, strapping etc...) it's not ideal. And long term seriously limiting to his performance. So they've taken the decision to get it right for future seasons

The problem with uk moto is there is a drought of kids from rich families who want to fund teams!

Molson- church family 

Swift- banks family 

motovision- Nichols family 

Mbo- emberson family 

Pendrich Kawasaki- perfect family
