Osterhagen at JM racing, I didn't know about that! Maybe forgot it

Weckman on KTM, may have forgotten about it as well. So no SR Honda in MX2?

Really cool to see Seewer in Renen gear. Alpinestars sponsored him for quite a while, so they certainly used alot of budget

The IXS gear he wore when he rode for Suzuki in MX2 was the best imo.

Both are also news to me.

WZ ananounced their line-up:

Oriol Oliver - MX2 & ADAC

Hakon Frederiksen - MX2 & ADAC

Ryan Alexandersson - EMX250 & ADAC

Cato Nickel - ADAC

Good line-up overall I think, especially in MX2

Good to see fredriksen land on a decent team. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Acording to local newspapers, the Argentina GP could be cancelled due to not being able to secure enough funds and goverment support for the GP

https://www.lmneuquen.com/neuquen/neuquen-se-queda-su-fecha-del-mundial…

So the season opener is still TBD, and so is the second and the final round, when will the Lugo GP be held? If Lugo ends up at the season finale it would very special for Jorge to finish his MXGP at a track that was built in his honor for being the first Spaniard to win an MXGP title, and if the first 2 GP are called off and there is no replacement round... maybe it gives Jorge enough time to do at least half of the AMA SX Championship, he could do well at Daytona...

Lugo will be the second round of the serie. The last round will take place in Italy.

The whole series is a bit of a joke really. Argentina is one of the best GPs to watch and if this doesn't happen I'm not sure any of the other tracks provide good racing. The whole thing is becoming a bit of a snooze fest for me. I bet Prado is gutted to come back and race GPs 100% he would rather just stay in the US.

Petrov or maybe Kullas...

Kullas wants to race AMA Nationals again this summer and it will probably end up happening.

yea it's going to be pretty boring watching Prado vs Herlings vs Gajser vs Febvre vs Seewer vs Renaux vs Geerts vs Fernandez vs Vlaanderen vs Coldenhoff in MXGP, not to mention the most open MX2 championship we've potentially had in a while too

combined with the electric bike thread, i sometimes wonder if people in the UK actually like motocross at all

Let's let the season start and see if you're still saying the same thing. 1 line tracks 80% of the time. the only one capable of coming from 5-8th and going to 1st on a 1-line tack is the 84 and I agree that's great to see.

80% of tracks is 16/20 that are one-lined.... i do love it when people pluck figures out of thin air

Argentina - nope
TBA - ?
Riola Sardo - nope
Trentino - nope
Agueda - nope
Arroyomolinos - nope
St Jean - yes
Teutschenthal - yes
Kegums - nope
Maggiora - yes
Sumbawa - nope
Lombok - nope
Loket - yes
Lommel - nope
Uddevalla - yes
Arnhem - nope
Frauenfeld - yes
Afyon - nope
Shanghai - (from what i can remember, was a good track) nope
TBA - ?

so that's 6 one-lined, 12 that aren't and 2 we don't know about... not quite the 80% you said. And yes, i will wait for the season to start, because i'm not pessimistic before the first gate drop has even happened

Its better than it was, but its still a  goat track.

Think our idea of 1 line is different. yes, they may have a different option line in some areas of the other tracks but it's nothing like AMA, 6 or 7 options in most parts of the tracks, that's why their series is way better to watch. You have got to ask yourself when was the last time you saw an MXGP stream and was blown away with track setup etc. only got to look at what the ex-pros say themselves about MXGP.

What would be the reason for the wait on announcements from HRC and also F&H about their '24 programs with Zanchi and Prugnieres? 

I understand that you cannot always announce on 1st of october or november because some contracts may run to the end of the year, but it's nearly february and there is no announcement even though these guys are riding and training with their new teams for weeks allready. So curious why it's not announced.

Maybe those teams are waiting for official team photoshoots, so that they have nice photos of the riders, with video etc... Rather than just a rider in team shirt against a white-wall

Honestly, I don't think it would be the main factor.

Kind of weird situation, if you ask me!

Do you have any clue what the situation is in Argentina these days? They have other problems than motocross...

ok, so lets flip this, and I'll ask you.... what would be the incentive to announce it earlier? why does it need to be announced in November/December? what benefit does it give the team or the rider?

all the photoshoots and team launches are shot now, in January-February... so why not coincide the rider announcement with the team launch?

That was not my point. Not at all.
