Paturel should pretty easily be in the points in the 450 class I'd think.

He's been better lately than Kullas and Butron, so yeah

Hah I was there today as well but didn’t see him.

Track was not the best, and they closed an hour earlier for some reason.

Not worth the 50 today IMHO, should have gone to Cahuilla 🤷

$50 for Perris now?? Ooof!

Yeah, tough pill to swallow but, better than not riding at all.  Wish they’d open back up on Fridays to thin the weekend herd a little.  With some forethought they could be capitalizing on Elsinore being shut down and Fox being closed for 4 weeks…

BP has been in California on and off since the beginning of 2025. Marvin has been helping him out I hear.

He has been on a private Yamaha training at Fox quite a bit, if you locals ever saw a #6 YZ 450 passing you it was probably him. 

Hoping for the best for the guy, but he couldn’t get a ride in MXGP so he is here for one last shot I think, I believe he is 30 or 31…

He was at Cahuilla last Sunday too, dude definitely rips.

Speaking of Cahuilla, I wish they were open tomorrow as there isn't anything open until Wednesday as Fox is closed for the national. 😒

Yeah I’d ride tomorrow if somewhere was open. GH is open Tuesday but I’m sure it’ll be as busy as a one legged free hooker in Vegas. 

I might go to cahuilla Wednesday!

Yeah, GH this Tuesday is a no go for me. Way too many people with no other place to ride this week.

Based on ML's thread about Cahuilla today (4 ambulance rides and 2 medivac helos), you were probably better off at Perris. 

Yikes on the injuries. Is this because the tracks have become so crowded?

Per Big Lew Guillod is also in for round 1 on a stock YZF. Man I hope he has one of his good days and just crushes it. There have probably been better years to come in and get a good result than now with a complete field. But he's fast. Hope the trip pays off for him. Sounds like he's looking for a deal on either side of the pond

Guillod will be very interesting to follow in Pala, as he finished 9th in 450cc world championship standings both in 2023 and 2024.

I hope he will be 100% healthy next saturday after his collarbone injury contracted at the swiss MXGP round earlier this year...

Is  also a sign that there is little talent in america.....that he can find a team in america and not in europa that also says something about the mxgp i think.

 The only reason I waste my time to reply to your trolling is the considerable disrespect you show here for guys who race AMA 450, so here are the facts:

(1) To be able to deal with a one day format and having to learn new tracks in one 15 minute session is a big ask.

(2) Limited hours on a new motorcycle and a team who doesn't know what he wants.  Larry Brooks has no idea how to set up his bike yet.  Mark Johnson has no idea on suspension setting at this point. Jamie Ellis has no idea on his power settings at this point.

(3) Think a second about who he would have to finish in front of to gain a top 10 in 450 AMA motocross. 

Jett Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence, Chase Sexton, Jason Anderson, Aaron Plessinger, Malcolm Stewart, Justin Cooper, Cooper Webb, ELI TOMAC, Jorge Prado. -  all of those guys are light years faster than Paturel on their worst day.

 (4)  To my knowledge he has not raced in 45c AND high humidity before.   He has been training in Southern California this year, and it has been quite cool and overcast.  NL has better weather right now.

lets see where your prediction stands after red bud.  I thought most Dutchies are level headed and don't troll much, I guess I was wrong.

I watched him by the fence for a minute. Looked good, but didn’t know who it was. Was the fastest out there for sure. Marv Musquin on a 125/150 was looking good as well. 

Saw 2 Suzukis and both were good. 1 with TT graphics and the other stock. The stock was messing with Musquin for a bit so obviously they knew each other  

Track actually came around after second water but dam packed and people all over the ground

I shouldn.t have said easy......but he can finish top 10  he was also a top 10 rider in mxgp and a winner in mx2

Find a way to pressure them back. $50 to ride is insane.

In World Championship (450cc category), Paturel was more like a top 12/15 rider, to be honest...

I saw that on IG today.

Nicholas is a nice kid and a good rider, but any European pro that comes over for round one without spending any time here beforehand is in for a rude awakening.  

The first round at Pala is about a brutal as it gets, as it's everyone's weekly practice facility and most guys have the place wired.

... Sort of like an American showing up to race MXGP Lommel on his first trip to Europe...

Yeah idk if he'll be very relevant. He did a GP this year and didn't score a point so I'm not sure if he'll score one at Pala.
One of the most fun riders to watch though

Lappucci will be lucky to score points imo. Benoit on the other hand, should be 12-15 and be happy. Having said that, I have a feeling he will quit the team before the end of the season.
