A bit longer header on Tigas bike. That threw me for a few seconds, thinking, blimey, they've 'reversed' the top end again......... 🙃 

I've yet to find pics of the LH side to see if they have something else going on that may be in use for tighter (?) noise regs.

25 in mxgp doing fly away races would be pretty good. 

I think we had like 21 in mx2 last year after the riley/haas & oliver/bts deals fell through. 16 is really weak.

I was totally off with my Valin to KTM in 2026, does that mean he’ll move into KTM for 2027 maybe? As KTM their 250 line up is getting smaller and smaller and Valin might be the next big thing for the MX2 class?

16 is a disaster. MX2 is really, really weak at the moment. Just think about it, the series cannot line up a full SX gate at a fly-away race with 100% of the field being healthy.

EMX250 is killing the GP MX2 class, they need to do something about it.

They made the EMX way to important and to many rounds. Its just a feeder en learning class, but the way they en the teams go about it, its a real business thing and thats just wrong way and killing the GP class. 
 
Hopefully we get another bar burning in MX2 for the title, other wise it will be a “mwah i will get some food or visit the paddock class”

EMX250 is killing the EUR rounds for MX2. But i have a hard time listing 5 rider/team combo's from EMX250 that have the budget and speed to actually do the full MX2 championship. 
The problem is bigger then just emx250. There isnt enough money in the European MX industry to fund guys like Walvoort do overseas trips.
