I agree Huffman lead the 95 Nationals in points too. I studied his riding style every vet should, get smooth let the bike do the work. I saw him holeshot a qualifier at red Bud 3 1/2 4 months after his acl reconstruction . Dam he was smooth. Janik is similar in smoothness tho.
Amateur racing sells bikes for sure. Id say even more then pro racing does. As a kid you wanted whatever bike the fastest kid was riding at your local races. Back in the day I wanted an rm85 BADLY, every fast kid rode one and there amateur team in the early 2000’s was unreal.

I promise you that Kawi wanted to keep Austin, Dudney, and Wood. Janik I’m not sure.

Kawi didn't lose Janik, they didn't offer him a contract extension. As far as where he's going, who knows. He hasn't been up there since he got on big bikes unfortunately.

Contracting amateur riders is beyond stupid.
“Influencers”
Totally disagree, you don't think they were patient with romano and thrasher?
Outdoors? You're crazy. He's not winning a sx, no
Thrasher won 2 races his Rookie SX…
yea, and has hit the deck a bunch, and has had more than one contract from star now. That's still patience in my book.
Prado has to be a top tier paid rider, monster foot the bill?
If you aren’t expected to win a SX race in the US (Jett, Tomac, Sexton), you aren’t in the top tier of pay here in the US. Prado isn’t expected to win one this year. I’d be willing to bet he has some pretty nice contact accelerators in his contract if he can, though.
And he's won every year he's been pro
Kawi also gained Aidan Zingg. Seems like there's less of a link to the pro team than at Yamaha because those ams are Star riders while the Team Green ams aren't PC riders. The best plan if you're not a generational Deegan/Lawrence talent is probably to be a Team Green am who turns pro with Club or BarX, develops for a couple years getting used to the pro schedule and race pace without the pressure and expectation of winning, then take the next step to a factory ride like Hartranft and Nichols did.
They straight up swapped Janik for Wey, same number and all. I wonder where he'll end up?
Sport bike sales are seeing a nice spike this year for Kawi. Just sayin'...
