Okay thanks, that was just what I've heard.
Lewis, when will we hear about any news on Watsons future? Keen to keep the Watson wagon rolling
Forato rumoured to be on his way to become the teammate of Van Doninck at Fantic...
Offcourse the age rule creates this. If you would implement the exact same rule in AMA MX/SX the following riders would have been riding 450's this year (2025) based on their age:
- McAdoo
- Forkner
- Smith
- Hammaker
- Anstie
- Vialle
- Mosiman
- Kitchen
- Shock
- Marchbanks
- Masterpool
- Swoll
And who would have to move up in 2026:
- Shimoda
- Vohland
- Thrasher
That's where i think the difference in level between the two 250 series (MX2 - AMA 250's) comes from: average experience...

Triumph in UK, maybe ?
Maybe a bit off topic, but this is quite a nice interview about the championship in Brasil, seems like there is money there for the riders. Older GP guys and French Elite riders. I like Gatedrop nowadays, lots of interviews
Interview: Greg Aranda discusses racing in Brazil and much more – GateDrop.com
Kevin Frelaud (dailymotocross.fr) made this interview. Very interesting one!
Yes, a lot of GateDrop stuff is aggregated from other sites.
I would hope the Factory team and the full calendar. It's a step back if it's the British team and not the full calendar.
No factory effort for Triumph in MXGP category next year.
They credit Kevin at the top.
Yeah, no worries! I should stay out of this thread to avoid downvotes, anyway 😂
Working on it. It was originally going to be January 1st, but it'll certainly be much sooner now.
M. "there is no media in Europe" doesn't wanna say it because he's sooo close with everybody. So Ben Watson will race in GB for Dirt Store Triumph in MX1 class, and race selected MXGP rounds - Euro ones. XO XO
There is no contract done with anyone... Why would I come in here and say something that isn't finalized?
Like I've said 100 times, when I present a 'rumor' it's because I know it's fact and I'm not 'fake news' on it.
I don't know a fact here...
Thanks for info 👍
I agree. And yet somehow Harrup comes here and finishes 7th after finishing 6th in MX2 the year before. Go figure.
A source involved with sponsorship told me hes joining Tommy Searle at Triumph for the British Champs and a few GPs
Pit Row
Makes sense as Joel Rizzi is out at that team.
With Bruce moving to mx1 will there be any Brits doing mx2 gps?
I can't see that happening for quite some time, unfortunately.

MXGP in Lierneux in 2027?
Lierneux Takes Flight: André Mathieu Launches Project for an MXGP Round in 2027
Recently, André Mathieu, General Manager of the MX Lierneux circuit, officially announced an ambitious project to host a round of the Motocross World Championship (MXGP) in 2027. This project could mark a new era for motocross in Belgium, transforming Lierneux into a truly international destination for fans of the discipline.
The Lierneux MX circuit is already renowned for its technical features and beautiful setting, but the addition of an MXGP round could propel the region into the global spotlight. André Mathieu said: “We have the opportunity to make Lierneux a must-see for motocross enthusiasts. This project is not only a sporting ambition, but also a way to promote our region.”
A Project Under Study
Under the leadership of André Mathieu, the team is working closely with local authorities to ensure all necessary requirements are met. Investments in circuit infrastructure and surrounding services are also planned to ensure a memorable experience for the riders and spectators.
Positive Repercussions for the Region
Hosting an MXGP round could generate significant economic benefits for Lierneux, attracting thousands of spectators and international media. André Mathieu emphasizes the importance of local engagement: “We need the support of the community to make this event a reality. Every contribution and every voice is essential.”
Conclusion
With André Mathieu's vision and determination, the MX Lierneux circuit could become a gathering place for motocross enthusiasts from around the world by 2027. This project promises to put Lierneux on the international motocross map and create a lasting impact for the region.
For more information about the project or to support this initiative, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Herlings officially announced at Hawkstone International, on Feb 15th..
Febvre was there last year , and we have seen Yamaha guys there in the past, so we might get a Herlings/Febvre/Gajser battle before the season even starts.
And we have seen De Wulf there as well.
Already excited.
Herlings debut on the Honda with Fox gear too,will be strange to see
Vialle will also debut the Honda there too will be my guess
Noel Zanocz* MX2 (already tested the bike last week)
Exciting trio of young talents
Usually when Herlings races Hawkstone, there isn't much budget for other riders on his level to attend. So the battle you expect to see is quite unlikely...
it's a shame that a Dutch team doesn't help a Dutch rider....
They don’t really decide themselves, KTM does that. The new Motivation - Nestaan structure in EMX250 will field both Gregoire and Heitink!
If this is true, who will race the Ducati with Seewer as it sounds like Renaux stays at Yamaha...
