They were really pushing that kid at the start of last year… Then things went bad what's the story there and where is he now haven't heard anything.
He's on the MX6 Kawasaki team and is supposed be racing 250 East. He's #85 this year.
Im not on instagrams…who is mx6 ? Paid ride?
Who is Gavin Betts? Im not familiar with that name.

I sat beside him and his dad At A1 watching qualifiers. Had no idea it was him till the last few minutes. He was really freindly and quite chatty.
Fedortsov showed good speed and was very competitive when he got a start. Curious to see what he’s got with a bit more maturity and experience under his belt.
Were they paying to be on ClubMX? Maybe they didn't think their deal was worth it. If Club was courting Jason Anderson then maybe they didn't have the money to give a firm commitment to Federstov and he accepted a different offer? Not everything has to be super dramatic. Although, if you're looking for drama, maybe he was born in Russia and they faked his birth country so he could compete in AMA races?
Born in the US and raised in Russia. Never raced mini bikes in the US. Got on a 250, went to Club MX, put in the work and now we're here.
ML mentioned he parted ways with Club MX because he and his family didn't agree with the plan they had for him.
Lux Turner left because he didn't like the deal presented, looking like same deal with Federsov. Up to the point that Yoder signed his 2 year deal just before A1 his deal did not include salary. Yoder said he could have made 100K staying with PRMX but chose to take the Club option. Looks like that worked out fine.
Man these private kawi teams always have the worst looking bikes
😮
To me, it seems like club is the best "b level" team out there. At least in the 250 class. It's tough to argue with their results over the past few years, and the bike looks great. Props to Yoder for betting on himself.
Believe they were wanting lux to pay for his pro spot.
This team does a good job rebuilding guys like Marchbanks, Nicoletti, Lopes, Schock, Vohland, but it seems like the guys turning pro for them kinda struggle like Fineis and Fedortsov. Fedortsov was incredible in SX Futures last year, maybe he was more of an indoor specialist? I wish the Reynolds thing went better.
At least these aren't as bad as the Partzilla kawi team last year omg
Kid from NY, he did futures last year
I could be wrong, but I don't ever recall Lux Turner riding for Club? He was a SoCal amateur and rode for AEO, then went to BarX. From what I heard, Federsov wanted to go pro and Club didn't think he was quite ready so they wanted to hold him back for another year of future's to continue developing and the dad thought they were better than that so they left and went on their own path. Could be entirely wrong, but that is what I heard.
Pit Row
I've always thought non-factory/non-PC Kawis are some of the worst-looking bikes in AMA, but I like these (and shoutout to Bud Racing; those Kawis were gorgeous).
Partly correct, he was training at Club hoping for a ride, that means he was paying at that time. He was offered a deal similar to what Yoder took for expenses only but needed a paid deal.
Never changed Mx/Sx….Imagine being this good and having to pay for your ride…..
Lux wasn’t training at ClubMX…he was in California riding for AEO before moving to BarX.
Didn’t Club offer Lux a ride and his mom laughed it off on social media because it was an expenses paid and a pay for your ride type of deal?
It happens in all motorsports, all the way up to F1
Didn’t Fedortsov have a couple pretty serious mechanicals while up front during futures? Led like 90% of Daytona then had a rear flat or rear wheel problem, bike blew up at the mud race, and then he crashed pretty hard at the other futures round if I remember right.
I would assume the mechanicals were an influence as to not wanting to pay to ride for Club or wanting more than what they were offering.
Never saw that but I don't follow her so very well could be possible. If that is the case and she did "laugh it off" publicly online, interesting her daughter still trains there.
Don't think so, was a very good podcast with him. He left on his own and went to Cali when was very young and worked construction, while working his way into a ride as ML stated. He even spoke of how his parent's went bust and he had to stop racing ands just rode for fun etc before moving out to Cali on his own and at a very young age 17 I think.
Someone who would know says he was offered a base salary of 30k, with result bonuses, free housing, and training at club. This person wouldn’t be guessing that told me this but as always take it with a grain of salt since it’s 2nd hand info.
Not good but not terrible with the housing and training, especially if it includes food 🤷♂️
Pretty damn fair offer imo
