I doubt Drew would make an instagram post like that unless it’s almost certain that he’d be able to race, but with Masterpool joining the coast that kinda throws a wrench in those plans, any chance we see them both join? That would be really hype

Kawasaki is so weird with their amateur riders. They did the same thing with Ryder D.

East SX hasn't even started yet, plenty of time between now and then for a fill in to pop up. We've seen it time and time again, I hope not but it's the brutal nature of the sport.

Either way, Drew will be ready & I as a fan of the kid will be locked in every weekend to watch the action unfold. The East has the potential to be a pretty stacked series and it'd be sick to see him line up and not run away with Futures again. Davies was the only guy giving him any fight

Ty has a 2 year deal with PC. 

I could be wrong here, but I think one of those two years was a partial year last year, so at the end of 2025, he will either be re-signed with PC, or free agent.  

I would rather be wrong than right here, but I think that is the case.

I have posted this before...I was at the Seattle Airport last March on a business trip and my flight got delayed overnight. I was waiting for a hotel shuttle along with Ryder DiFrancesco's Dad. We started chatting and I asked him why Ryder left PC and went to GasGas. He told me that at the end of the 2023 season they shocked them by the news that they were going to have to let Ryder go. Kawasaki's upper management made the decision that all of their 250 riders needed to be 21 yrs or older and passed those instructions down to Mitch. Since Ryder was only 19, Mitch had to let him walk because he didn't want to lose Kawasaki's support and told him to come see him again when he was 21. I don't think Mr. DiFrancesco had any reason to lie to me on this, and if that is the case it might be the reason we are not seeing Drew lining up right now. Maybe they see this kids crazy talent and are trying to make something work with him for the future, but time will tell.

He may have told you that but it wasn't the reason. Drew is only 16 and his contract has him racing the full outdoor season this year so that bullshit line is just not true.

You should've asked Randy why he was banished from the PC semi and maybe that would've given you the clue as to why Ryder wasn't re-signed.

Kind of what I was thinking, these teams ideally want guys on 450s by the time they are 21. 

Jett is 21, imagine if he didnt start on 250s until this year.

Not doubting he told you that but he told a very favorable story. From what I’ve heard on podcasts and interviews, Mitch thought he wasn’t working hard enough.

So does Mitch let the kid race now ? Seems like a nightmare season so far for Mitch.

"Masterpool broke fingers also. He was in a cast or a soft wrap after the race. Mitch Payton not happy, not happy that he’s out. …Looks like we might see Drew Adams."

So Drew was only going to turn pro at the Nationals this summer? He's going to mop up Futures this year. I don't even see the point. Davies and Long are out there looking solid. I know he's very young so I guess it's no big rush. Masterpool is just going to ride Marchbanks bike right? What's the difference if him or Adams ride it? Again I'm sure I'm ignorant to how these things work and I'm just missing something

Why do you think anyone is riding marchbanks bike?  He's healthy and will be at the races.

I thought Garrett got hurt at A1 and Ty was filling in for him. That's why nothing was making sense to me. Especially when Garrett was out there at San Diego. My bad
