What will KEMEA do next year or the future?  

Wonder if there is any truth to all those Suzuki rumors. 

Even heard that they want to be in MXGP already in 2027 with Seewer, but that seems pretty wild to me…

Some huge pressure on Geerts in my opinion. The Yamaha didn't suffice according to some sources, neither did the Beta like anyone could've predicted. If he doesn't deliver now, it might be the end of his MXGP-career.

Jago is gonna Jago. 

Fast between crashes.  Was the same in MX2, should have had at least 1 maybe 2 Titles but crashed when it needed him to bring it home.

Lot of talent though. I think he can do pretty well on a 450 that suits him, i agree it might be his last chance.

If he has his day, yes. But not for the championship. I can't see him battling with Herlings, Vialle, Gajser, Renaux, De Wolf, Fernández, Adamo,... even Febvre on a Ducati, week after week. Let alone beating them regularly.

In my opinion,,,,,he's definitely capable of it....I believe that a fit Jago Geerts , riding With confidence,,,,, can actieve the same things as tom vialle....he has won 24 mx2 GPs,......so he's certainly capable to podium in the mxgp as well......

He is the european equivalent of every 250 rider that doesnt move up .  

Had enough goes at it to have done something and hasnt.. yes he is a great rider , no question , but another go at it , is like giving Forkner another shot, the only difference is that Geert didnt have SX level crashes. 

Shame, but he is top 10 at best now, not that being top 10 is bad, but his best days are not in front of him.  He isnt the only one at this point .

I think he can do better. If he can find his confidence again  the talent is still there. I also believe he is pretty fit and still highly motivated. If he can have a good off season and gel with the bike he should be inside top 10 most of the races. I can see him finish 4-9th but I may be to optimistic perhaps?

There are lots of riders who go through a phase of ' i know i can still do it'.  And dont. 

Once you stagnate, the chances of returning to the performance required to go forward again, diminish. 

I cant think of a rider that has done it either side of the Pond in the last 10 years. 

Is he a good signing for SR, yes, and probably as good as they can hope for at this level.  Will he do better than he has already on a 450 , maybe, because he wasnt great on the Yamaha, and he was ok on the Beta. 

Dont get me wrong, if he comes into the season fit and healthy and has a good first few rounds, then it might help, but he is always on the edge of a crash. And they tend to be not small.

He probably needs to wear that helmet till 31 december... His deal with Monster was a personal deal.

Jake Cannon raced the 250 class in the Australian Supercross in Geelong past weekend, this for JPM 360 Kawasaki and he used BUD Suspension. Mx1onboard.com says he and BUD has split up what seems likely, but that he used BUD suspension is something to follow up on. It could be that he had a good SX set-up from testing on the French compound and bought that suspension or got it as a farewell gift.

Interesting for the Americans: Sawyer Gieck has signed a deal with the German KOSAK KTM to race the EMX125 series (and probably also the ADAC MX Junior Cup). The 14 year old (turns 15 in February) raced in 2026 one EMX125 race in Riola Sardo and scored an eleventh place and a 33th place. This will help him to create a wider skill set and if this works out he will be seen as a pioneer!

Arnaud Tonus did it, so it can be done.

Maybe Coldenhoff can be seen as an example for Geerts. Not entirely similar since Geerts was a superstar in MX2 and Coldenhoff wasnt special in MX2 (i think ''only'' 1 GP win in his final mx2 year) but he just continued to improve. And not in a steady line, he won with Suzuki, but after that had a couple of years at KTM where he was nothing special (10th in points in 2017 for example). But he continued to get better and ends up with mxon legend, twice 3rd in points and 5 MXGP wins between 19 and 22.

Coldenhoff is the prime example of hard work paying off, and he had a lot of years people believing in him when things didn't went great. However, he was a lot more steady in those first MXGP seasons. Not brilliant, but decent. And he had that 1-1 in Latvia in his rookie MXGP season. Wonderful personality too. 

Geerts still has the potential in my opinion. Most front runners from his MX2 years are now top dogs in MXGP (except Herlings, Gajser and Febvre), and he had them all covered speed wise, minus Vialle. He didn't show the killer instinct yet, while Vialle and Renaux have that skillset. Winners.. win😉
