Matthes says Marchbanks and ML512 say McAdoo in the video above. I believe Garret will get the deal on a 2 year deal and excited to see what he can do on the 450.

I said Marchbanks is the more likely choice…

Have it like every other sport, where once a deal is signed, it's public knowledge. I understand the issue here is many deals are signed during the season, so the team that the rider will be leaving wouldn't like that information to come out mid-season. If that's such a big problem, hold off contract negotiations until after the season has ended. It's just such a dumb process to have every valid media guy to say "rider x is going to team y", but the riders aren't allowed to speak on it, we act like they haven't ridden the bike, and we wait until like a month + now after the season ends until we get the official press release. They treat us like we're stupid or something.

It sucks to wait, but the way things are now makes sense.

As long as an athlete is being paid by company A, they need to be promoting company A.  Promoting company B before their contract with company A expires is unethical.  Company A paid for that time and exposure.

Tomac is a good example.  We heard he was going to Ktm months ago, but he continued to ride his best for Yamaha to the very end of his contract, and I haven't heard anything from him about anything other than Yamaha.  Even though we know he's going to Ktm, there was so little out of his mouth about it, that a rumor was able to get started last week that he might be going to Kawasaki.  The focus rightly remained on Yamaha up until now.

Since we haven't seen a press release about him parting ways with Yamaha, I imagine his contract with Star may not have ended yet, but they're letting him get a head start with Ktm as long as he keeps it quiet until the contract ends.

It's easy to forget that racing usually comes out of a company's marketing budget.

Well stated, it’s Professionalism: 101

It might be frustrating for those of us this close to it (avid fans, racers, et al), but this image needs to be maintained for the layperson, or general consumer.

I think it was a slip up or earlier filming.  During the video you made it clear that it's looking like it may be Marchbanks, but at 16:57 you said it's leaning towards McAdoo.  Might need an edit.  I watched and enjoyed the whole video.  Thanks!

What I got from that is he’s racing east 250 sx to get as many 250 titles as he can before he moves up , i wonder if he races the 450 on the west.

Don't be so sure.  The plan is to ride 450 starting at A1 and if it's not going well, he will drop back down to a 250 on the east coast.

Marchbanks makes the most sense for the 450. He clearly has trouble on the starts with the 250 and spends 90% of the race chasing people down and passing as shown by the stats and memes. A 450 would have a much higher chance of putting him into a better position straight off the rip in every race. Competition might be tougher, but overall a better chance to grow.

Coldenhoff is looking for an outdoors ride as well.  Or at least he was?  There was some mention of possibly a spot at HEP, no idea where that one stands, but it seems like it could make sense if Jason Anderson and Roczen aren't doing many outdoor rounds.  Would be cool to see someone of his level come over (even though he is definitely on the back end of his career).  Seems like a good dude

Guys are on the Elsinore SX track. Reven Gordon and Colt45 are out there. I tried posting a crappy pic from the fence but I couldn’t get it to upload.

Wonder if that means Elsinore got insurance?

I asked one of the guys that came out about insurance and he said they have it and that it isn’t a problem, he just said that they’re taking their time on opening. He also said feel free to let everyone know that they have insurance, so I believe he also reads vital 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Always been a fan of Colt45, it just seems like he has good character. I got the impression he was a bit of a mentor to Jett when he first came in to the scene too.

Indy 3 where colt n Jett battled hard coming through the pack. Believe Jett saw how Colt stayed on the podium every round that year and won the title was a lesson for him for the next year.
