This is a “no” on that! Look at riders that don’t come anywhere to their “peak” till they’re older! Look at John Dowd, anybody got a problem with what he did?!? In his 30’s when Yamaha put him in the 125 class, SX & MX! Of course the guy didn’t race his first race until he was 21 years old, not first pro race but first race period!! So it’s a hard no for age!!
Vialle wanted to race supercross in America. Thats the main reason for him leaving the GPs.
Yep exactly. Plus tom is 24 now, meaning he came over two years before he would have aged out. Uncledaddy post is fake news.
Tom won 2 world titles so he would’ve been forced up to the MXGP class before he came to America, he’s had 3 more years on a 250 because he came over here. If you win 2 MX2 titles then you’re forced up regardless of age.

Right. I was talking about someone saying he aged out. I was just saying he came over two years before he would have aged out. I do know he was forced to move up because of titles but not because of age.
Talon Hawkins steps away from professional racing.
Marshal Weltin posted a story on instagram on a Kawasaki. Anyone know anything about that? Canadian series?
Sad! He’s an awesome kid and would have loved to see him get one more shot with a solid team.
Bummer. Felt like Husky rushed him up and threw him to the wolves, just to cut him short. Another statistic for the KTM group 250 meat grinder.
Yup, maybe the new owners will run that program better. It’s funny they hired DB to fix their amateur to pro pipe line and they told him no over and over again with who to sign and who to keep/move up to the pros.
Speaking of DB, he hinted that Club gave Barcia a time sensitive offer for next year this week.
Assuming that means Anderson is not going there? Or first one to take the offer gets it?
Old picture from when he raced in Europe back in 2017.
He made it sound like it’s probably not the most lucrative deal he’s ever gotten but it falls in line with what Club can do. Also said he’d guess it’s about a 40% chance of him accepting the offer but if he doesn’t, they still have other options in place they can pursue. Offer was made on Wednesday and he said he has until Monday to let them know.
Factory Teams ain't got room for him, they gotta sign guys like Smith & Hampshire & McAdoo to crash themselves outta contention for the 10th year in a row.....
Hoping all is well, Talon had insane talent, he’s going to kill it in the real world. Fly high Hawkins, I’ll never forget you in the whoops at Shougs’ last year
So you mean Race Winners/Championship Contenders.
How many championships are shared between those 3 riders listed?
1 Championship between them, and multiple race wins for each of them.
Pit Row
Is Hawkins the kid from So Cal who had that little MX track in his backyard, with a bunch of houses looking down on it? I wonder how much they had to bribe their neighbors to let them get away with that, lol
So what's that, a combined 40+ seasons between the 3 of them and one championship?
Them boys are killing it.
Hell, if Smith & McAdoo can hang onto the 250sx class just a few more years they might get to race some kids that weren't even born yet when they turned pro 🤣
Not sure but that sounds iconic, looking into it since work is slow
Is Deegs in Fox gear tomorrow?
No.
Press day today Anderson said he still wants to race after this year but will only entertain factory rides otherwise he’ll retire.
Guess we’ll see.
Also claimed he has factory options. I wonder if he'll take low salary to stay on factory team so kawi or someone else keeps him on as third guy at bargain price?
I mean HEP is factory right?
Yeah I’m just curious if he’s limiting himself to factory rides only, how many seats are even available at this point.
What non factory ride would you suggest he entertain?
Club would probably be the best option.
I really don't know? I guess if you want it to be it is..... not sure they have anything on club et al though?
