Two weeks ago, ML had their preview for 250s 2026 and I was looking for the 450s last week, and hopefully get some more details this week
This bike?
Whiskey did an awesome podcast with Troy and he talks a lot about the Ducati venture. He goes in-depth about Red Bull and how they have a 20+ year relationship. I'd say it will 100% be a Red Bull backed team.
Eli doesn’t seem like someone who cares about which energy drink is sponsoring him.

I remember the blue pig days well. What star did with that bike compared to the factory bike is incredible. I think I remember reading it lost 8-10#. Mostly electronics.
It was Red Bull/TLD day in the dirt for years as well. They at least have some history
We are all missing the mark on this energy drink thing. The answer has been right in front of us for years.
Lammy in 2000
Ryno in 2001
Both are in TLD with Hansen’s Energy as a sponsor. Obviously this means Tomac/Ducati/Monster is a done deal.
What a long term play by Troy. Unreal.
And one of my posts went poof. 😂
This. His options for teams to ride for are limited to begin with. He's going to turn down a ride because of Monster?
Do tell 🥸
You can only fly so close to the sun before you burn. hahaha
Was it that thing about Herlings, Suzuki and the US nationals? That was good stuff I can see why no one wants that out there yet.
I hate to be the bear of bad news but 2014 was 11 years ago now. We old.
That is messed up
It was funny too because the whole narrative even though the bike was winning bike shootouts was that “it works well for the average rider but as soon as you add power to it, it upsets the chassis” and Barcia kept blaming that for his bad starts.
Then Star said the first thing they did was make the bike as fast as possible and worked from there.
Think maybe they were referring to the pre-production media pics of the 450 with Tony Cairolli posing with it, and pics of him riding it. It had the Monster claw logos on the shrouds...and on the front of his jersey.
dont remind me brotha 😂🤦🏾♂️ I was a senior in HS then now I’m 29 going on 30 , before u kno it I’ll be in my 40s & 50s still on here talking about somebody down the road being better than Jett , haiden & cole Davies
Ahhh man what did I miss???
Pit Row
Same. 30 YO here.
Yeah but that is the MXGP side. Just like Triumph, Kawi, Husky don’t match series to series
How about the crowd at the first round of SMX last year when he took that last corner before the finish? Goosebumps.
Tomac has become, unexpectedly I might add, the peoples champ. It's crazy to me any team would lose him over money. Tomac doesn't strike me as the greedy type...but he won't ride for free.
The sport is unequivocally better with a COMPETITIVE Tomac, so he needs a bike that he can win on.
Who's got a screen shot?
New screen name Icarus 😄
Old.
That's exactly what happens bro. I'm 43 and feel like Reed, RC, and Bubba were battling like 5 years ago.
Now I have some kid on Instagram telling me I'm nostalgic because I called him dumb for saying supercross tracks in 2000-2015 were safer than the tracks today 😂
The TLD looks so timeless on those Honda’s, Lammy’s gear is excellent
A non-monster Ducati would be the outlier. Maybe not as a title sponsor since they already have yamaha and kawi, but people are overthinking the energy drink thing. Monster could definitely follow Eli to the team as an additional sponsor.
Troy Lee himself confirmed the Red Bull deal in his recent Whisky Throttle show appearance.
Troy Lee himself said it’s going to be Red Bull. The bikes will look better with the Red Bull colors over the monster colors.
Others pointed out the RB confirmation, and also Monster is more focused on the series. They probably don't see a ton of value in one of riders anymore as we saw them nix the DF deal among others
