I think Polak also re-signed with the Yamaha Germany team he did the adac races for last year, but now to also do a bunch of MXGP rounds. 

Kind of insane how quick thing go, Polak was 3rd in EMX125 only 5 years ago or something like that. Now a partial campaign in mxgp.

I haven't read anything anywhere abou Polák. I think he scored couple emx125 moto podiums but he never was as high in the standings afaik. His descent i contribute towards skipping emx250 and getting too complacent with 20+ place finish. There were times when he was racing Haarup, Weckman, etc. But those guys progressed. He is too much of goodie two shoes when it comes to racetrack battles. He should have achieved more with the fact that he spent majority of his career relatively healthy. Nonetheless he is the best czech rider in the world due to the experiences he gained over the years. Some might beat him occassionaly in fast lap quali but in the race he beats any czech rider.

Yes, you are correct about EMX, i actually meant the worl championship 125, he finished 3rd in that.

What’s up with Mitch Evans? Has he something lined up, either Europe or back home?

Might do some GPs also in the beginning of the year and look for a fill in ride at some point…

There are no rides left in Australia, all the teams here have been announced, he might be just doing a local series over there, bloody strange nothing has been said or mentioned.

I think it is a good move for him considering the situation. Use March and april with this team to stay in shape, and earn at a minimum something like 5k at these 3 Masters. And he will be available for the Grand Prix teams to fill in in case of injuries, which will happen.

Probably because of his wrist injury...

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.

You clearly haven’t been watching this series!! Racing is 100 percent off the chains week after week and coverage is top notch!! These guys give zero fucks and battle to the checkered flag at every race!! Doesn’t matter which track they go to

After Everts, Guadagnini is out for the first race in Argentina. He broke his scapula while training...

FH racing team is all black 2024 and no mention about Kawasaki. Did Kawasaki drop their support or something else is happening?They are giving thank you for their "loyal sponsors and partners"

If they had official Kawa support they would have been in green. No idea what happened.

A shame, 3-4 years ago they had 3 riders in mx2 and i felt like they could develop into a team that would win multiple gp a year. It never really got better though

People can down vote Brent as much as they want, he's spot on. The owner is loaded and thought he could be the next PC, Star, Standing Construct, Wilvo, ... but nah.

Tim Edberg will fill in for Brent Van Doninck's place at JM Honda Racing as long as Van Doninck is out.

BRIAN BOGERS TO JOIN FANTIC FACTORY RACING MXGP FROM RIOLA ONWARDS

image 156

Fantic Factory Racing MXGP is pleased to welcome Brian Bogers alongside Glenn Coldenhoff for the remainder of the 2024 season. Bogers will debut on the Fantic XXF 450 at the MXGP of Sardegna in Riola Sardo (6th and 7th April).

Brian Bogers scored his first GP podiums in the MX2 class in 2016 and 2017 and made an early switch to the premier class in 2018 at only 21 years of age. After successfully overcoming a string of injuries, it was in 2022 when the Dutchman enjoyed his best season so far. Bogers placed sixth in the MXGP World Championship as one of the top-ranked riders and made his childhood dream come true with a superb GP win in the deep, punishing sand of Lommel, home of Motocross. The 27-year-old from Eindhoven will be looking to achieve more success in Fantic Factory colours.

Brian Bogers:

“I am a very lucky guy at the moment because I never thought that I would still get the chance to race in MXGP this season. Therefore, you can imagine that I don’t only take this opportunity with both hands but with both hands and feet! Thank you to Fantic Factory Racing MXGP for this amazing opportunity, I am very motivated and focused to let this work.”

Louis Vosters, Team Owner:

“Brian Bogers needs no introduction, winning a MXGP overall in Lommel on arguably the most demanding track on the calendar speaks for itself. Together with Fantic and our proven MXGP team, we are sure he can be a regular frontrunner at the top of our sport. The first training sessions have been going well, he is adapting well to the bike and we are looking forward to seeing Brian line up on the Fantic XXF 450 very soon.”

Mariano Roman, CEO Fantic Motor SpA:

“We are thrilled that a stand-out rider like Brian Bogers joins our Fantic family. We have followed his strong performance on track over the last years and we are sure he will make us proud. Alongside his fellow Dutchman Glenn Coldenhoff, we are confident to pull off a great season on our return to the highly competitive MXGP class.”

A part of the Triumph team is almost like a "family" for Febvre...

That 2025 deal is kind of logical.
