I agree for a big part, but actually Coldenhoff made a real decent amount of money in his career. Factory Suzuki, factory KTM, Standing construct KTM & GasGas, Wilvo Yamaha + Fantic. That was a decent career. Wilvo actually gave him such a good offer that Tim Mathys was pissed at KTM Group that they wouldn’t go for a push to keep him (he wanted to add money to keep him as well)
Marcel Stauffer has been the main MX development rider I believe. Out of the spotlights in ADAC MX Masters.
Pancar is KTMs testrider, he's doing what Leok has done for years. But Leok did it on a white KTM.
Yeah, that kid came out swinging in 2019 and hurt his back at the first gp in matterley on the uphill quad. After that, he had some other health related issues and got lime disease and was out for a while. I have heard he is back on the bike now, riding ADAC and austrian MX championship but I am not sure, haven't had any contact for a while

Herlings confirming that his Honda deal is 2 years with an option for a 3rd.
Ferruccio Zanchi will race in MXGP-class the rest of the season.
So no MX2 rider for Ducati? Or will Mancini move up?
Weird.
I wonder if it was a late April fools joke. It makes no sense at all to extract a brand new manufacturer that wants to develop the bike and step in MXGP in the near future out of the class. Mancini is able to get podiums in EMX250 when he has his day, so to transfer him to MX2 permanently also has no use.
I ask myself if it has something to do with production and the stock of 250cc parts?
I spent a few minutes chatting with Jan and his family in Loket and Lommel - - he claims that KTM does give him a few special parts and some expense budget, but that's all. He was hoping to get more factory support for 2026, don't know if that ever happened.
Here is his race bike after his fantastic first moto finish at Loket, where he was P-2 for most of the race. KTM guys will spot the bent up, well used stock wheel set, stock clamps and linkage. No skid plate for rock protection. Even the bar pad and grips are OEM 😆
I think you are wrong on that. From what I have been told, most of his budget comes from the Slovenia government. I think he gets a little backing from KTM, but not nearly what people think. Marcel Stauffer, Michael Sandner do most of the race testing.
Will we see Seewer behind the gate (on a Ducati) at the french GP (Lacapelle) after the five weeks break of the 2026 MXGP calendar?
🤔
Are you asking us, or telling us... 🙂
He could ‘kickstart’ his way to AMA Outdoors
I think Seewer and Ducati should split. This is a waste of time for both parties. Especially for Ducati.
Maybe both...
😁
He’s gonna a race the AMA Nationals on a Suzuki.
Pit Row
Is it? I expected him to pull in last weekend out of deception when he was riding in 23rd-24th place all race long, but he didn't. So i would believe there's still some motivation left.
Heard this aswell, to replace Anderson.
Add the rumours of the return of Suzuki in MXGP 2027 (although still no confirmation), this could be an interesting option for Seewer. Ride the outdoors with Suzuki in 2026, to return to MXGP in 2027 on the brand he made his breakthrough with.
I dont understand why Seewer would leave Ducati and leave a bag of money. So a construction like you suggest would explain that better. Otherwise just ride in 25th all year and collect your money, an mx career is to short to leave money on the table.
But what is the issue with Seewer anyway? He knew he was going to develop a new bike when he signed, didnt he?
This is going to be an unpopular opinion but i think he is done at top level. Put him on a factory KTM, Honda or Yamaha and the best he will do is 15-20th.
Roan van de Moosdijk will race two AMA Nationals this summer. Redbud and Southwick
I agree on that, maybe a few times in the top10 if things are running well.
I agree, but riding (riding, not racing) around 25th isn't his actual level either.
Is it Seewer's last year, you think?
Perhaps he's 'over it', and just 'riding the contract out', with what may have been a pretty reasonable final GP earnings couple of years.
I've not read of any injury that is holding him back, but.
He got 3rd OA at Switzerland last year with a 7th and a 3rd, the bikes far from a dog as some have said. I did think he might make a Big Effort at his home GP, this year. But, 12th and 16th got him 15th OA.
On another question - Max Nagl - is there any indication he will be racing at "Cute Little Teut" ( as my better half calls it, after going there a couple of times), or, other GPs ?
I'd say he might well be the fastest Triumph 450 rider currently - though, I'm only up on that ADAC round that he went 1 1 1 in.
I’ve got a question, what’s the delaying the factory bike from Triumph? People are racing stock 450’s, are they behind on the evolution version? That’s actually 2 questions.
Max Nagl shared a few times that a full GP weekend is too much for his body. The two day format is no joke for riders that are getting older.
i was watching his results last couple GP's and it looks like he is done...no progress at all on his Ducati.
he is riding it second year now and the other teammates 10 or more positions better every race this season.
Vlaanderes was almost dead last first race last Sunday and still finished better than Seewer.
Budget.
