Lewis said in his new podcast together with Kellen (LVK) that there is a European rider testing an American bike at the moment. Does anyone know who that could be? Haarup?

Yeah it could be Haarup, he was offered a ride in Triumph SMX250 but he chose Standing Construct in MXGP, But unfortunately the deal fell through, or Forato who also was in Standing Construct and doesn't have a ride for next year.

I think those 2 could do really well outdoors and be able to qualify for SMX... Maybe with SMX Teams are starting to look not only for SX only riders but MX only riders? After all you have more chances to score points in MX than in SX for SMX Playoffs...

They said his name multiple times in the podcast. Did you actually listen to what they are saying??

Yes ofcourse.  But that was at the end of the what should KDW do? topic, he said later.: “there is another European rider testing an American bike tomorrow” .   KDW comes oct 21th.  Timestamp 38:00 on Spotify

It amazes me how often someone comes on here and says “such and such was said on xyz by so and so”, and then what was actually said is quite different. 

The subjectivity is loose around these parts.

I hope Haarup gets a decent ride for next year. He comes across as a likeable guy & he can ride a dirt bike pretty quickly too. I’ve been following his career since he was tiny riding 125’s with his original #722.

Yes indeed.  He’s very capable in mx.  Sx I’m not so sure.  But would like to see him ride the lites bike again and see him grow a little more before he’s going to the 450.

I believe they are referring to Jubilee Winterstone.  Although he's been in the US before and it didn't work out.

It's Mikkel Haarup, he's visiting a couple teams while he's here.

Kay de Wolf isn't here yet, couple more days I believe.
