The announcers are great.
Sounds like the KTM Team will be ran by the guys over at Priority MX.
Kyle Murdoch signed with the Kawasaki SSR Team. IMO, no surprise there.
They also signed Tinley McCoy to race WMX.
Priority will be on KTM in ‘27…?
The Shop

DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
yes
Donkster!
How The Fuck Are YOU?!
Jonathan Bergeron to make his pro debut with the MX101 Yamaha Team.
What is Pettis doing?
Sounds like Jesson Turner from ClubMX will be coming up for 2027 under MX101, similar to Malinoski in 2026.
A few options floating around but per CMXU podcast, KTM under the new Priority ownership could be a landing spot.
What does the weekend schedule look like for these races? Pros and WMX?
No round in BC ?
Thats a surprise, unless I’ve been out of it so long and it’s actually not surprising at all .
Amateur day Saturday and Pro day on Sunday.
Sunday Schedule
Not surprising. They haven't gone to BC in a few years.

Five important updates riders need to know heading into the 2027 season
Jetwerx Inc. has completed its annual review of the Triple Crown Series Rulebook ahead of the 2027 season.
Following discussions with riders, teams, promoters and officials, several updates have been made with the goal of simplifying regulations, improving rider safety and creating clearer eligibility standards across the Canadian National program.
The complete 2027 Triple Crown Series Rulebook will be posted at triplecrownseries.ca.
Here are five of the main changes riders should be aware of for 2027.
1. INTERMEDIATE RIDERS — NO NATIONAL UPGRADE POINTS
Beginning in 2027, upgrade points will no longer be awarded to Intermediate riders competing in Pro National events.
Intermediate remains the classification immediately preceding Professional. Riders must be a minimum of 14 years of age at the time of the event to compete in a Pro National.
This change allows Intermediate riders to gain experience at the National level without accumulating upgrade points simply by competing in a Pro Am National.
2. TWO-STROKE / FOUR-STROKE DISPLACEMENT
For 2027, the Triple Crown Series will move to equal displacement limits regardless of whether a motorcycle is two-stroke or four-stroke.
For the 450 Professional class:
251cc–450cc two-stroke or four-stroke motorcycles will be permitted.
Electric motorcycles, including motorcycles such as the Stark VARG, must continue to receive approval from the series before competition.
The same equal-displacement philosophy will apply within the appropriate displacement limits of the 250 class.
3. CHEST AND BACK PROTECTION MANDATORY
Beginning in 2027, approved chest and back protection will be mandatory at Triple Crown Pro Nationals.
The protector may be worn underneath or over the rider’s jersey and should provide protection for the sternum, anterior ribs, posterior ribs and spine from T1 to T12.
The change is part of an increased focus on rider safety and follows the direction being taken by major racing organizations internationally.
4. TOP-10 PRO RIDERS — AMATEUR NATIONAL ELIGIBILITY
Eligibility rules for professionally ranked riders competing at Canada’s major Amateur Nationals have been clarified for 2027.
A rider who is inside the Top 10 in current Triple Crown Series points in either the 250 or 450 class at the time of the event will not be eligible to compete in Amateur National classes.
For events taking place before current-season standings have been established, the previous season’s final series standings will be used as the starting reference.
Professionally ranked riders outside the Top 10 remain eligible for applicable age classes under the regulations outlined in the Rulebook.
Intermediate-ranked riders remain eligible for applicable amateur, age and Pro/Am classes.
Professional riders are also encouraged to participate in approved entertainment and fan-engagement activities at Amateur National events, including holeshot challenges and other special events.
5. CAREER NATIONAL NUMBERS
Beginning in 2027, the Triple Crown Series will revise how Career National Numbers are earned and retained.
Career National Numbers will be reserved for:
The objective is to make Career National Numbers more meaningful and ensure they represent significant accomplishments within Canadian National competition.
The WMX National number system will also be updated for 2027, with numbers awarded to the Top 10 overall finishers, allowing recognition and prestige for the leading riders in the WMX National Championship.
COMPLETE 2027 RULEBOOK
These are five of the primary changes competitors should understand heading into the 2027 season. Additional regulations, class requirements, technical rules, eligibility requirements and event procedures are contained within the complete Rulebook.
All riders, teams and mechanics are responsible for reviewing the complete 2027 Triple Crown Series Rulebook before competing.
The complete 2027 Triple Crown Series Rulebook will be available at triplecrownseries.ca in the coming days.

Canadian Triple Crown Series
Is Bergeron the kid who's supposed to be the next big Canadian thing?
No.
Pit Row
Solid choice of tracks. Prairie hill isn't Manitoba's best, but they did a fine job this year. Two more rounds would be nice.
6 in the east 2 in the west lol
Good thing Calgary decided to postpone the closing of the facility.
Back-to-back amateur nationals..Three in a row if they attend Loretta's.
I know it's not easy, but this schedule needs to be diversified. Need at least two more rounds out west.
Who's gunna be a man and race the 350 Beta 2T?

They have to figure out how to get more 450 guys to do the whole series. Either more teams or bigger payouts. I think on CMXU they said 12 guys did every round in 450s.
Thankfully we have a crop of uber talented kids coming thru. Let’s post mark your response Mav and see how the next 1-2 years plays out lol
I think he was asking about Rempel who we saw race SMX Next, not Johnny boy. I think he's on the right track.
Talon is on the right track.
Younger guy, but I think Mason Murdy is also on the right track.
When someone asks about Canada's next big name, I'm thinking of guys like Wright and Pettis. IMO, the next big one was going to be McNabb, but health issues derailed that.
You guys are doing great things. I wish more teams would take your approach to develop younger talent.
Edit:
FYI, I root for all our guys. There's no bigger fan of Canadian moto than me on here. Do a search and you'll see I've been posting about the series for years. I'll be honest, I'm tired of our guys staying here and not venturing out to race other series. Wright and Pettis shouldn't be racing in Canada, and should have left years ago.
I wonder if we will get more canadians in the SMX next year. A few SX rds, + Mx rounds could at least put them into LCQ status.
Would be pretty cool if someon could pull an iron man move like Jordan Jarvis did and race ama and canada at the same time.
