Guys, I searched but did not find what I was looking for. But, since Tom has won two 250SX titles will he be 450SX come 2026?

He seems like a very measured and smart rider. I dont think he's going to kill himself..........but I think the 450 field is gonna kill him lol. It will he great to add another name to this 450 class though.

Rubbish, everyone always said a 450 would suit his style more.

Yeah. Definitely better than the guy that finished 3rd in points that people also said would have a hard time on a 450.

Thanks guys.


Wow, that’s intense for Vialle.


I also have to say when he announced he was coming here I did not ever think he would win 2 SX titles before winning in MX!

Was that before or after they've seen him racing Daytona on a 450? 😂

He might be the only top 250 rider that has shown that he doesn’t ride over his limits. 

I’m getting really annoyed with people saying a dude like Vialle “isn’t ready for 450 supercross” while you have guys like Karnow and Clason racing 450 every week without issue.

I kinda did think this with RJ’s riding style. But holy shit he’s way better than I thought and I thought he’d be good when he wasn’t on the ground.

Come on, Karnow and Clason are irrelevant to the 450 class. Tom Vialle is in a whole different ballgame to those two, especially Karnow. The guy's sponsored by OnlyFans FFS.

I'm saying it now, Vialle will be Marvin 2.0. Maybe not his 1st year.

Tom Vialle isn’t your weekend warrior riding buddy.  He’s one of the best in the world.  He will also be one of the best in the world on a 450.  

Does he struggle to crack the top 10? Maybe. Does he ride consistent and build results slowly? Probably.

I think you're out of your mind. Respectfully lol. Marv was a beast. He could be the best 450 rider on Earth on a given day. I don't see a ceiling like that for Tom

Let me roll that back a bit, diet Marv, lol. I think Vialle's ceiling will be a little lower, but I think by his 2nd-3rd year he'll be a podium guy. More like Marv in the fact he'll be super smooth and controlled, maybe not the best in the whoops, but makes it work well on his best days.

Well by that metric, everyone but a few riders should go to MXGP. Somebody has to finish 5th dude.

No, nobody has to finish 5th? I'm not sure what you're saying here.

Tom vialle is very good in motorcross and certainly on european circuits.....not everyone who rides top 10 in supercross can say that...According to me it is better to win in mxgp than to finish 5th in supercross

Ok I understand what you're saying now at least. Um... I guess its up to Tom what he values more and will find more rewarding on a personal level
