Everyone said that about Vialle too, but ended up winning at SX first oddly enough.
Good ideas
Well shit idk why but I thought Romano was like 25 by now. My bad
I swear I heard Daniel Blair say “they believe in their son, they are going to race on their own if he doesn’t have a team behind him” before this Supercross season.
I saw Fedortsov shred at Pala last year. The kid has massive potential in motocross .

I never heard that. I’m out of the social media loop but I listen to Moto podcasts. I have only heard his name brought up for not having a spot at PC Kawi.
He’s on the Drew Adams deal where he would fill in if a spot opened up, but yes he’s injured and will be out a long time.
Someone give Mitch Simons phone number lol
Yaa i don’t do socials either, someone had posted the Temmerman crash here, it was a pretty gnarly. I think his names getting brought up because of guys like RyderD and Drew not having deals to take them into the pros with PC. Team green amateur kids having hard time rolling into PC is probably why guys like Dudney and Wood went over to Star. Mitch missed two with those guys.
Smart families and teams should think about this... It is moronic to waste this precious time!
Another thing that is heavyweight are the team owner his pockets. He is an absolute fan of the sport, investing a lot of money into the team each year AND Dutch. There is no way he is letting Kay go easily

The talent and speed is there, needs to just stay injury free and build.
Good luck Romano. Lots of people wish they had a second shot - make the best of it
That seems short sided .
Turn laps at a facility supercross track instead of two years in Europe racing ?
I absolutely agree with you , but Americans will never do it because they are ethnocentric to the max and basically scared of Europe.
Maybe if they brought some rounds of emx125 to the us it would spark some interest .
Scared of Europe?
You know these top amateur kids get stipends from their teams that, in a lot of cases, are worth more than what they'd make if they raced EMX, right? It's financial, not "ethnocentric"...
Pit Row
Pretty cool….or Lit as the new pollution says……Podium….stamp it….
How come the Australians and South Africans went through Europe ?
Different era ?
"Short sided"? You mean like an Isosolese triangle?
Yeah my bad , horrible grammar . Sorry
Hahahaha, no worries. It was tee'd up, and I had to take a swing.
Send the kids up to the Canadian nationals like Drew Adams did. Don’t have to travel to Europe either.
Agree 100% that more younger Americans would benefit from that.
How come Drew did that ? Seemed like a cool move , sorta becoming a journeyman racer and getting well rounded to me.
Is gopher dunes as gnarly as people say ?
It has nothing to do with being ethnocentric or not looking far enough into the future. It's not 2005 anymore. To the extent that there's a path to a factory ride in the US, it's through futures and beating up on factory guys on the SX practice track. Lorettas results barely matter anymore and top prospects don't even take advantage of the racing opportunities they have here or in Canada. A 16 year old could go win EMX and the response from the factory teams would be OK come show us what you can do on our SX track. Nothing a guy might do in that class moves the needle. If anything maybe you could justify putting a top 16 or 17 year old prospect in mx2, but emx would be total waste of time and money.
Yup, and imo a top amateur kid should be able to run up front out there like Adams did. Good prep with the two 35 min motos and learning how to string two results together with less pressure imo. I’m pretty sure RV did one in 05 and DeanO did one in 09 on their amateur bikes. I think both of them may have one a moto too.
I think he wanted to get as much racing in as he could besides the handful of big amateur nationals that most of the kids do. He may have been 15 or just turned 16 too cuz he’s still pretty dang young.
Vincent Wey is coming over this year. I think it's great and more US amateurs should do it. It used to be a regular thing with Team Green riders back in the day.
The 250 class is a Pro-Am class so B riders can race it as well. IMO, it's better than racing a few amateur nationals spread out throughout the year. If SMX Next had them race more than 2-3 outdoor national that would be a different story.
I said it before, but if they can't win up here, they have a lot more work to do.
