I think it may have been 2023 when he did that. I wish more 450 guys would drop down and race a 250 outdoors, I think it’s pretty cool when they do like Kenny did a few years back on the RM-Z 250, or KDub in ‘09 I think. Roncada did it in ‘03 and then was back on the 250 half way thru the outdoors. I remember Reynard dropping down to a KX125 back in the ‘03 too lol
He's only racing Southwick.
So many Yamahas
So many star riders. Can't wait to see this again this summer 🤣

Thanks. Judging by the downvotes, people must’ve thought I was being a dick. I was legitimately curious how many seasons he’s finished every moto, especially since the guy I replied to was kind of knocking Cole for being inconsistent or whatever. We’ll see, all I hope is both of them make it through the entire season without injury or mechanicals. I’d love to see another series go to the last round for the championship.
I'll be honest, I know Honda has L1 and L2, but after what Jo showed at MXoN I thought he might jump up to the 450 class and forget about 250's...
Here for the yearly you guys are sleeping on Levi for this title, he can hit his 2024 stride and reel off a string of wins, looking for Washougal to be his only off race. Also Dudney could be ridiculous with this coast being so wide open
Anstie for the championship! Stamp it!!
So you think all those guys will show up as privateers when half the factory rides go away? If Star cuts their team in half do think the other half is going to race? You will still get the guys that get lapped twice either way but you will lose many of the factory supported riders without a ride as we have seen in the past when they lose factory rides many of them don’t go buy a bike and race or race somewhere for free they just stop. You will not get a more competitive series you will get just the opposite…ML is 100% correct here…Yes something needs to happen to improve but eliminating the coasts ain’t it….
Potential wins on the 250 vs top 10's in the 450. What's the upside? MXon is a one off race that has very rarely correlated to consistent results.
Oh well, racing isn't for everybody. If they run the 250 SX the whole series they will still have full gates and the racing will be better.
That’s the way it is anyways. Even with the coasts split, if you ain’t got the money to build a 80k bike you aren’t competing. This ain’t the 90s where you can be competitive with your exhaust and big bore kit. The sport has evolved to the level and money that it needs to stop being referred to as a “grooming series”. Especially when guys like RJ, Anstie and others literally live(d) in the class.
You think these kids are going to jump on an already inferior bike and beat guys that have been pro for 10 years on the 250 class? Not gonna happen. At least make these homesteaders work for their podium bonuses by combining the class.
Seems like teams would save more money on bonuses and contracts when they are only paying one or two riders a race for a podium or win for say a 10 race series, Instead of 2 or 3 a week every single race.
Nope, 250s.
Yep the 250 class is the expensive class to run, most of these guys could buy a 450 and get better results in the big bike class than running two laps down in the 250s
Im picking 9 different winners this summer 😆.
Has Jett covered I heard..on the test track of course.
If they can’t ride Supercross, no team in America is interested!! just look at Ty Masterpool! Dude sucks at Supercross, but rips it outdoors and can’t stay on a team!! I think some of that is his fault as well!!
Finally on a good bike? You do know the triplets are basically the same factory bike right?
Pit Row
Just the one from what they are saying.
This underlines just how insane a split 250 class in SX is.
There will be a guy in that list of the factory guys, who are proper paid riders, who wont even score a point.
Meanwhile, any of those guys could jump to 450 and be decent for a lot less money.
Forkner having his 20th(?) shot at a 250 title . He actually looked decent on a 450, i dont get it.
Ah he was asking me actually....1 down vote for you.
What's the comparison to AC, I think he's trying to go that route, win a 250 national title and then move up and see if he can find himself.
Man he was the most promising rider but injury's suck.
I just hope he does well and stays healthy, keep bringing in the paycheck for the expanding family.
Thanks to Mav and Jaun for the reply. Will be cheering for Cannon but really interested to see what Garcia does; that dude is fast.
Ferry??
He’s out with an ACL injury….Keefer is his replacement
I agree to a point. I think Jo can give er one last try this summer, and then he needs to think about stepping up. Kitchen, he needs to put some decent races together or he is going to be a nobody in the 450's.
I think the biggest argument for having separate coasts (assuming it did cut half of the riders) is you need a bigger feeder class than premier class. I know it's the 250 class, not the "feeder class" but we all know what it is for the cream of the crop guys.
Jo looked so good on the 450 at the MXON. I really don't want to see this guy chase a 250 title for 3-4 more years. I think he'd be a great addition to the 450 class immediately.
yeaaa, Marshal told me yesterday. That kinda blows my mind haha stoked for them though.
Definitely an interesting team that one, keen to see them outdoors.
This. We're all sort of tired of the hype around guys like forkner and shimoda (and I'm a fan of both mind you). I'm all for people earning a paycheck but damn. We need a reset. We need some of these turn and burn Yamaha kids to get a shot elsewhere (ty mitch). Let the class develop.l instead of finding the guy that has the ability to put an 8-year 250 rider away for the title on day 1.
