Adam didnt say. Just that he thought it was one of the biggest 250 contracts. I'll have to check if he said biggest contracts ever. AC must have trained with Jo through Nick Wey. Somewhat of a head scratcher but I guess with the Lawrence's moving to 450's, Jo was thought of as the next guy? I've never got the impression he could seal the deal. He always comes on when the title is out of reach and there is no pressure on him
Barcia turned down the ClubMx Offer.
With the recent rumors of Mookie sticking with either Husky or GasGas, that leaves a spot open for the Triumph 450 ride since Smith said he doesn’t want to race a 450 yet. Sounds like both Anderson and Barcia are waiting on more details of the Ducati offer. HEP is still looking to sign a bigger name for the Twisted side of 450’s as well.
Gilley is no longer doing Eli's suspension so he'll be fine....Gilley has been working with Cooper Webb this year

Wait, who ???
If PC doesn't resign Marchbanks, HEP should pick him up to ride 450's. He is good at both SX and MX.
I think this is where it's currently at as far as what is "known" for 450's:
Honda: J. & H. Lawrence
Yamaha: J. Cooper, Webb (+Deegan for MX)
Kawasaki: Sexton, Prado
KTM: Tomac, Plessinger, Vialle
GASGAS: M. Stewart, Hampshire
HEP/Progressive/Suzuki: Roczen
HEP/Twisted/Suzuki: TBD
Triumph: TBD
Ducati: TBD
Beta: Bloss, Oldenburg
Phoenix Honda: TBD
Quad-Lock Honda: TBD
Tedder: TBD
ClubMX: N/A
Husqvarna: N/A
(Dean Wilson has an offer for SX, Tedder has talked to Anderson, Anderson and Barcia are currently talking to Ducati, HEP has talked to Anderson and Barcia as well, Club is back to focusing on 250s after a few deals didn't pan out, Factory Husqvarna is leaving pro SX/MX, Ferrandis is looking for SX only deal)
Sounds like Shimoda is choosing to leave Honda to be the other KTM 250 rider in 2026 or go back to PC as well.
Who said Husky is getting axed and not GasGas?
I think I just listened to Steve say it on the Blair Mathess project.
Husky will be offf road only.
Matthes/DB talked a little silly season stuff they've heard on their show today.
I think Mitchell Harrison would be a solid pick for HEP as another Chiz. He's a consistent 450 main eventer and much better outdoors.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not working my whole life to take a pay cut just because. Yamaha would have to be the holy grail when it comes to bikes.
Sadly, none of the bigger name Euros that were thought to come over appear to be coming. At least not being mentioned. De Wolf, Coenens.
Would've been cool to see them come over but thankfully for us we're not short on 250 talent here. Outside of Deegan in SX next year, the 250 class is wide open, would've been a great time to come over if they wanted to!
Hanny was like a million bucks total for regional supercross only (2-3 yrs) and I think I remember it being reported that JG was like 7-800K a year on his 2nd FC deal
I heard JG was getting 800k a year from Geico back in the day. Maybe could’ve been two but I’m pretty sure it was 800k a year. Millsaps had to have gotten some big money from Suzuki and his 06 Honda contract.
Is Wilson’s offer from the same or different team?
So... If Eli goes to KTM, that's again, their top rider not training with Aldon.
Pit Row
Really? Sandbagger Smith doesn't want to race a 450 'yet'? Who would have thought?
I suppose we don't want to rush the guy...
Off the top of my head I'm trying to think of who of the KTM group does train there?
Stewart, Barcia and Pless for sure. I think RJ is too.
Beaumer is with Davi Millsaps
Vialle is training with Sexton I think.
DeFrancisco?...Cochran?
Not sure that squirrel in head will understand this but there is not an age out rule in the 250 class and if you’re so hell bent on bitching about riders not moving up when YOU think they should then why don’t YOU make up the difference in pay for them….or maybe just shut up about it because it’s not going to change…
Ol' Smith says he'll buy you a cocoa next time you're at the retirement home.
Landen Gordon to star racing
Jt says Mitch still trying to get dewolf
Not sure if Justin Hill's contract is up with Tedder, for some reason I thought it was. He had a pretty solid season.
Either way I can't see him looking for a different team. They seem to let him do what he pleases and train how he wants, and he's a good fit there.
Davey has both JUJU and Ryder D and they will be arriving at Aldons place next week is what i heard
Just to ride there in the heat or train with Aldon?
