And SMX

I now wonder if Justin Cooper stays and if Monster Energy / Star Racing / Yamaha will run a 3-4 man team of 2-Webb, 3-Tomac, 32-Cooper...

I now wonder if Justin Cooper stays and if Monster Energy / Star Racing / Yamaha will run a 3-4 man team of 2-Webb, 3-Tomac, 32-Cooper, and maybe 28-Craig? Man... 2025 Silly Season is getting weird. 

I would think JCoop stays, where does he go if he leaves?

I would assume the money that came in for Craig wasn’t out of the Yamaha budget. Making it an add on rider spot and a 4 rider team.

I’m trying a new style. Instead of judgement and a hasty comment I will comeback with a motivational supportive message. But subtly get the point across 😂

Edit: For the guys that did all 10 races.

Yes. I double checked... realized I messed on Vince Friese and Lux Turner. A lot of tiebreakers!

I noticed while watching Ironman MX today, it was mentioned that this is probably Chisholm's last MX race as well. Nothing official yet! Anyone else heard of this?

He mentioned before when he signed with HEP that he was given a lot of freedom in that he could continue racing as long as he wants or go into a different role with the team.

Unless they also mentioned Chiz, I believe what you heard was them saying it's Deano's last pro national. Deano and Chiz were battling for one of the last SMX spots that put you straight into the race instead of having to go the LCQ each round and that's when they said it's Dean's last national. He made a post about it on Instagram as well.

That would make more sense, with Deano already announcing it. Thanks!

Not silly season rumors per se but RJ confirmed he’s making the move to 450’s next summer after 250 SX. That’ll be fun to see!

If Prado didn’t race any SX, would he get #100? Already having a two digit number is cool but being able to run the 100 is really cool.
