Short of a crash from G, 100% absolutely yes.

I have no idea about Supercross.  In Mx, I expect him to compete with Hunter, Deegan and Chase.

The main thing he needs to do is expect to win, and on a day and track where he's faster than Racer X, he needs to pass Racer X, regardless of the number on the jersey.

I'm not predicting that he's going to beat Jett.  But I say this to all racers. Jett isn't unbeatable.  He's just very, very good.

No way Marchbanks could run with Hunter Lawrence, Deegan or Sexton Outdoors next year!

(or are you talking about Prado?...)

I'm not talking about Prado.  I stand by my prediction.  This is a really good move for Kawasaki.

It is.  I spelled out my reasons for it.

I'm looking forward to Mx 2026!  It's going to be a battle royale!

Eh… Marchbanks has one single third place outdoors. He hasn’t shown anything to be even close to Hunter, Deegan and especially Chase.

I like this move a lot. I don't think another year or two on 250s would have gotten him more bargaining power for a better ride than this, just a bunch of crappy starts that he would have  had to work up from. At least now he can set his mind on being a full time 450 guy. 

On top of that, he has matured and found his “routine” he is fit and now can be stronger instead of trying to be light. Makes a big difference.

Inexpensive seat filler until someone better becomes available.  He’s been around long enough that he might be a good test rider to help Chase.

These takes are mentally ill.

Weimer was a 250 supercross champ and outdoor winner. Pourcel was in line for this ride but they decided he wasn't worth the hassle and made the next obvious choice in Jake.

Yup, plus Weimer and RV trained together with Randy Lawrence and already had a good relationship. RV and Pourcel on the same team wouldve alienated Pourcel even tho he kind of did that to himself anyways.

That’s where you’d be wrong.
