1-jeremy seewer will be benistant's replacement from Agueda 

2-Febvre has received an offer from Triumph for more than 1 million euros.

3-Farres has a lot of interest from riders for 2027, both for the 450MXGP and the 250AMA, all from top teams, one of them obviously being Triumph for the MXGP.

1 - That is a reasonable replacement. I don't know any other rider capable as Seewer that would get that spot?

2- Isn't he making that kind of money already at Kawasaki?

3 -If I was Farres then I'd definitely push for a 2 year or 3 year deal.

Nicolai Skovbjerg, 3rd in EMX250, has parted from his team MXHandel.

Weird timing so i guess there are issues somehow outside from performance because he did have good results.

Strange, but maybe he's picked up a better ride...

I think Farres has done enough for Triumph for him to choose whether he steps up to MXGP next year or heads back to the states on a 250.

It is a difficult choice. Some of the MXGP goats are about to retire in a few years, but meanwhile in the US we have the same and he is a good supercross rider.

He won the ADAC over the weekend, so he is on a roll, it may just be finances that prevent him from carrying on with the team, sometimes the money just runs out.

What the hell was that track at the British yesterday, it looked awful on the tv. It looked like some amateur track in the middle of nowhere, didn’t look like any fans turned up. At the least the next one is at my local track, Canada Heights. Do you know if Herlings will race?

Rumor: One of these days will Kay de Wolf sign a big contract with KTM for multiple years, this to replace Lucas Coenen who goes to the USA. He had multiple options to race a 250 bike in the USA (Pro Circuit, Triumph, ...) but he will put that dream behind bars.

Liam Everts is one of the targets for Yamaha, this to race a MXGP bike.

Damn I like Everts to Yamaha. Just he's had a rough go at it. I think he's name is helping to be honest.

de Wolf probably thinks he will be the top MXGP guy if Lucas goes to the US.

Monster Mountain in Wales. 

It is in the middle of nowhere, on top of a huge man made hill, i think there are 3 tracks currently and they have spent a ton of money to get it where it is. 

Riders i spoke to said it was decent to race, there was a lot more people there than there looked, just like Matterley, it looks empty no matter what. 

At a time when tracks are shutting for fun, it was good to go there and see something going the other way. 

Herlings is currently not slated to run at Canada Heights.

Is it a foregone conclusion that the Coenen's will be stateside next year?  I know its in their contract if they want it, and it seems like that is their plan.  Thunder Valley went well, obviously the results were good, but man, with so many older guys in MXGP retiring soon and slowing down, someone like Lucas could potentially clean up for many years (not seeing any 250 guys or young 450 guys who could run with him if he stays healthy, including Kay De Wolf).  Honestly looking 2 years down the road the 450 class in MXGP is looking pretty depleted, hopefully some new talents emerge to make things interesting.  Its fun when both series have top riders
