What was the Star Yamaha test rider rumor thing Steve brought up with talking to Christian Craig? Suzuki seems like the logical landing spot and wouldn't be surprised if he is delaying signing as long as possible as his stock has been rising the past couple rounds.
7th first moto last weekend and had a broken shifter second moto stuck in 2nd gear. Not bad for coming off that elbow injury with a shriveled up arm still.
Any news on what Fauser is going to do next year? He did good at the combine and the CDMX round he did.
What Suzuki team is Craig landing at? I do not think it's going to be HEP. Unless his father in-law buys him a seat.
It would be HEP.

Going to miss J Mart but think he is calling it quits as well.
Unfortunately I think you're right he's been very active on Strava doing half marathons and crazy long bike ride does not look like he's hurt or suffering from concussion!
Watching San Diego replay and realizing Thrasher will be there too. Man Star is always so big. lol.
You just know Star is desperate to add another top 250 guy ASAP. They already tried to get Hymas even after he reached his auto-renewal clause with HRC. I wonder who it’ll be 🤔
Forkner?
U think he did good enough to get a ride? He didnt even podium the combine or win in Canada
I’ve got no info, I’m simply asking the question based on how Star has been operating.
He doesn't strike me as a guy who'd like that program, and he'd be the fastest guy in sx which would rub star's golden goose the wrong way.
I thought Kenny and the under 21s were the only ones on Progressive bikes and everyone else is Twisted Tea?
Pretty sure it would be twisted and not progressive but decent photoshop nonetheless lol
Im not thinking a factory ride but something like Club, Phx, AEO, or the like.
Sounds like Fappani and Fauser will both be amateur for another year.
Romano rideless?
Pit Row
He was approached by them in like 2019 but turned them down because of the factory Yamaha 450 and not wanting to ride that bike.
ML, have you asked club about farres?
Yes, they’ve inquired but the interest doesn’t seem to be there.
Bummer for Farres if he isnt able to land a ride as the kid has shown he has the speed (when hes not hurt) and the last two injuries have been out of his control (start crash at Thunder Valley on Star and bike issue at Husky).
Any word on Braswell?
I was wondering about him at the beginning of the outdoor season. I haven’t heard anyone even talk about him since he got hurt.
Yes me too, I like the kid. He had ACL surgery? I hope he gets support next year .
With Mike B saying on the monday Pulp show the goal is a 5 member team for 2025 Clubmx...let me suggest, Jett reynolds, Finies, Schock, Trevin Nelsen and Braswell...if Vohland doesn't sign.
Your welcome😀
I checked up on Braswell's instagram a few weeks ago, looks like he had surgery December '23 and is getting back up to speed with coaching gigs. Posted a video of himself endorsing some asterik knee braces next to a stock yz450 in April. Not much activity other than that though.
Won't forget when he stopped in a national to get a bike off of another rider mid moto while filling in at TLD GasGas, dude is a Class act.
Hope he doesn’t fade away from racing after only giving it a go for a year.
Didn't he win the Horizon Award too?
I don't know much about him but the few interviews I heard he seemed like a standup kid. Hopefully we haven't seen the last of him.
I feel like kids like him are falling victim to the longevity that some of the 450 guys are having nowadays. We have quite a few dudes racing into their 30s now which forces other dudes (Hampshire, Smith etc.) to stay on 250s for a decade keeping those rides tied up and not available for new comers.
What happened to Mason Gonzales?
I remember he broke his tib/fib/ankle before the 21 season. I'm not sure if he even raced (he would have been on Phoenix Honda) that year. Not sure if the injury was worse than reported or if he didn't have offers. Amazing how many riders get chewed up and off into oblivion in this sport.
