I’d like to see some young up and coming USA riders head to MXGP. With the lack of full gate races and all the “superstars” racing AMA I think younger riders in the 10-20 place positions could gain a lot of experience and speed by spending a couple years in MXGP. I’m not sure if that’s a disaster for a career, or a leap forward. Options?

Like Zak Osbourne did. He really improved after that.

Cool but do they realize that do to a full series here. You hv to hv a theme .  There too young to pull off the family guy with a trophy wife & 3 spoiled ugly kids.  It would b possible to hire kid actors though.lol  And  We only allow 1 cowboy & we hv that.    I suggest an explorer & a gifted scientist that lost his way .  He could ramble on about theories of dirt & machinery.

SX will test their fragility. Both don't like close racing and both have had a cry about it this year. Both times it wasn't even rough racing.

That’s exactly who I was thinking about. It seems a better time then ever to do it now with how small the MXGP gates have been.

Yep, far better than doing a half assed 250 east or west sx series having all that down time waiting for the outdoors. 

Others come to mind, Donny Schmit, Chad Parker. Jett and Hunter are actually THE best examples, with the Aussie scene so tiny and the US full of 'the next big thing' hopefuls taking up all the rides. They packed up, went europe and burnt their boats.

So does this mean #3 is out?  I recently read somewhere his plans for next year were not solid afterall, and now this $$ Coenen announcement.  I think #7 signed for another year next year, and they are going to have I think four 250 riders.  For KTM, that team feels pretty full.

Plessinger didn’t re-sign with KTM.

Lucas jumping into SX is a tall order. just hope both survive long enough to make it to mx

Lucas going into the full length season of the 450 class seems to be a bit of a mistake.

He won't have the MXGP title - unless something truly bizarre happens next GP to Herlings, and, well, others - so he isn't prohibited from doing the short season of 250s. I don't think competing in 450 MXGP stops you from 250SX.

Sacha still has a good chance of getting the MX2 title, before he goes to the USA.

Basically, I hope both survive SX. Doing 250s for Lucas could increase his chances of getting through to the 450 Outdoors healthy. Sacha - I worry about that young man in SX.

Whos knows? - they both may well have stellar transitions to SX .

What a massive loss for the GPs.  With the stars of MXGP near the end of their careers, they really need some exciting young guys to step up and establish themselves.

Europe's loss is America's gain. However, the MXGP scene is going to be fine, the MX2 class over here is strong. If anything, the American scene needed this talent injection from the Coenen's because the American MX2 scene isn't showing much promise right now.

Lucas is out for the title. The only one left who can pass Herlings in the standings is Febvre. But only in theory.

Supercross is the goal for everyone. That’s where the money is. MX, unfortunately, is second fiddle

Godwin's law states that as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Adolf Hitler approaches one. 

I propose that we have @mooch's law that states as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Haiden Deegan approaches one.

I think lucas coenen could earn more than 3 million in mxgp if he becomes  champion....who in america earns more than 3 million...........without winning in supercross

Rightly so, he will never win a 450 title.

Deegs has arrived in the wrong era, just like so many before him.

Problem is, Lucas is already injured now so the question is will he get fit enough to start the SX/MX seasons?

It's a complicated injury he's got there and you can't just plate nerve damage.

Wow!

That's impressive, and I had no idea some were paid that much there.

How far into the SX season will it take before RC tells us how much of an advantage Lucas has with his height in the whoops?

I think it was JT or someone that alluded that Fly can't afford them anymore?

Well, that’s kind of my point: the top earners in the US series are the ones that win in supercross (and SMX). You’ll have to ask Lucas why he would walk away from $3mil to race US supercross…
