Only $10 for all 2026 SX, MX, and SMX series.
Watching SMX be a 3 race series and paying salary level bonus’ to the top 5 has to be pretty wild when your about to head out for a Moto after 2 days of practice in some random country
I couldn't care less who is more talented or whatever. I just wanna see this dude in the US with more competition. I think he has the best style maybe out of everyone. This was the first year where we've seen him actually being consistent and healthy and I hope he can build on that. Dude is pretty tall and he can throw the bike around wherever he wants, like he's riding a BMX sometimes. I think he will adapt to SX pretty quick.
Some of the clips I could watch constantly
Bobby and Mitch will be looking at how Kay is doing from a far away place with some good binoculars. 😂😂

Depends on how you look at it, pretty even when you include everything else really, as you say AMA dominated on the overall team podium finishes but in the individual class overalls MXGP dominated with 7 riders out of the top 9 on the podium, they did a bit better on average in the Motos too, it's just a comparison of who was there, not nessesarily the 2 series just who was there, take a look at this

I’ve seen Kay ride in person, idk 7 or so times the last few years. He’s very good on a bike. But he’s not Jett Lawrence. And truth be told, he’s probably not even the best 250 rider right now. Lucas Coenen has shown he’s as good or even better and 3 or so years younger. Deegs imo is better and he’s 2-3 years younger as well.
Deegan is a little over a year younger
Legitimate question, how many AMA racers were there vs. MXGP racers, surely this has to be considered too
I didn't realize he was 20. It's Coenen who's still quite young. Yeah if Kay really wants to race SX, he should get over here
8 if you include Harri….
I don't think he's at Jett's level currently, that's not what I'm saying. I know Jett was younger when he was on the 250s learning SX. But I think KDW will continue to develop and be on par with Jett once he has ~3 years of US racing under his belt, assuming he stays healthy. His first year in the US will certainly be a learning experience, and I think by year 2 he's a serious title contender. All I know is, he's incredibly talented on a dirtbike.
Those numbers are skewed by the fact that there were almost no top ama 250 riders there other than vaile.
Plus the top ama mx Rider from both series who are also arguably the fastest riders in the world in their class weren't there.
It's just kinda dumb to even compare, unless you are lining the top 20 from each series up regardless of country.
Yes that's what I actually said, it's just a compilation of who was there and not the series as many are missing even if Jett, ET, Hunter, Kenny and AP are probably the top 5 450 riders in the US apart guys wppart ffron Sexton, I t was r responding to the claim that the event was dominated by one series
They dominated the podium places by consistency, that's how the MXdN was won again this year, quite a contrast to when the US really did dominate races in the 80's and 90's when they'd almost fill the podium in every Moto
Australia
HL 8-4
KW 11-19
JL 1-2
USA
ET 2-3
CW 17-9
AP 7-8

Legitimate question, how many MA (Motorcycling Australia) racers were there ?
Hint: he was on the top step of the podium.
Clearly that settles it, the Australian series is superior! 😂
DeWolf will probably be coming out to the KTM Test Tracks around Murrieta.
my question is, will he just start out on a full on SX track, or will they build a milder version for him, or will he just hit sections and no whoops?
I personally think the kid will learn quickly and do well, he has the talent and natural ability. Maybe Vialle can give him some tips on how he learned to do it...
The GP'S are ghetto! A young super talent like Kay would be nuts to stay there on shit tracks, in shit weather and never grow to his full potential.
He did say "Tom would be there" so you are likely correct he will be riding with Vialle. Makes sense.
Need some locals to get pics!

de Wolf said he's staying with Nestaan for the next two years.
The shit tracks and weather is a large part of why the European based riders are at a level they are today. Riding diverse tracks and conditions surely is a better way of actually getting more skilled compared to the ultra-managed pracitice facilities with same prep and dirt that the USA based riders have been growing up on the last 5-10 years.
Him testing supercross was never supposed to mean he was racing it next year. This is just for him to get a feel for it and if he likes it. That's what I think anyway.

He's training at a SX-track in France today.
Looks like he's going to Fox Raceway today (IG story).
This is the biggest misconception in motocross, that the top Euros don't make money. You’re high AF if you think Kay is making less than a 15 place supercross rider. He’s in the same neighborhood as some of the top 250 guys here.
I know that Prado took a cut to come here. I know that when Herlings was in his prime, he was the highest paid mx rider at KTM, including Dungey and Webb.
The top GP guys are in the range as most of the top American guys. The drop happens after the top 5. The big advantage is the Americans have three titles that pay big money, the Euros have one.
Sources ? Because that is not what Herlings has been saying in different interview over the years
You're usually right with this stuff, but I remember herlings best year was 4.4 million all in.
Figured in 15' when dungey won both titles, would have been more than that with bonuses and salary.
Herlings made 4.5 million Euro in 2018 according to himself. Wild guess is 50/50 splitt between salary and sponsors?
This picture is from 2022, probably bought a few more now.
I heard Deegan bought his first rental not long ago...
Source is the man at KTM in Europe.
Herlings is talking about race payouts, because he makes about 2 mill and Gajser is over a mill a year in salary.
