Big challenge for Toendel: stay injury free all SX season long to perform during the great outdoors...

Yeah. If I were him I'd take it easy for SX. Make the night show and if I make the main that's a bonus. 17 rounds is a lot.

Dang, I hope not....   No offense to the Brazil series, but to go from 3rd in MXGP to racing in Brazil would be pretty wild (I know Herlings and Gasjer were gone, but still)

I understand Riding in Brazil pays decent for championship challengers

100%! Happy for him to go to the US, but I dread the SX. Norwegian riders are injury prone, and generally have very little SX experience. He showed good speed at Southwick last year, I just hope he tries to survive the first year of SX so he can build something for the outdoors. But this sure makes it interesting, very cool and bold move by Tøndel. I think he’s the first Norwegian to try the US fulltime for a team ever…?

Its indeed crazy and wild. But its even more crazy and wild to me that rider can make 100-200K a season over there. 

Business wise its a smart move to stack up some money over there the coming years and set up youre retiredment a bit more healthy. 

Cant blame him for doing that and shows a sign that the current MXGP series is not that healthy anymore. If Brazil is able to keep up like this, we will see allot more guys heading that way in the future…

Toendel is not known for taking it easy....

Triumph Factory Racing have announced an open evening at the Factory in Hinckley UK on 3rd December, which will feature WSS , BSS , BEC and MXGB teams, which will likely confirm the team members for all of them , in one place.  I was expecting Ben Watson's announcement to come at the NEC show, but maybe it will be here instead.  

Will attend if i am not away that week. 

Hopefully this time next week then. Did see Tommy training at Ed’s and there was some comments about Ben being there but so was George Corke who is also 919.

Does that mean MJC are not running a 125 team next year? They’ve been the official Yamaha 125 team for many years. 

Edit just realised it’s the EMX250 squad.

Red Bull KTM thanked JH84 today for 17 years service. His presentation at Honda can’t be long.

The national championship is not thaaaat terrible. Tracks are a little bit more rough and honest than most of the Australian championship tracks, for example. All rounds lve on youtube (2:51:00) is the MX1 start  https://youtu.be/8Ytpor4UD2k?t=10207

He's training in Spain with John vd Berk on his KTM for now, so his Honda presentation will happen in the new year and not earlier.

It’s interesting how the euros train on 250s a bit. Don't ever see that happen in America.

Ben Watson finally announced at Dirtstore Triumph, a day ahead of their open evening at the Factory. 

Euro GP' s and a full British Championship campaign. 

Great for UK MX .

Agree, great for British MX. I for 1 will be going Hawkstone, Foxhills and other selected rounds this year. Also think this will be good for Ben.
