Can’t wait for him to turn pro and the Vital forums melting on a weekly basis

Great thread! Here are my two contributions to it.

I don’t think Yamaha is gonna let Kitchen go anywhere.

Without checking the rulebook I’m pretty certain only the front numberplate needs to be a certain color, and the side plates can be whatever color you want.

Yeah that’s usually how it goes. Getting a wake up call when he moves up the ranks like someone put it earlier is maybe a bit harsh, but taking it on the chin definitely seems like something he has to learn. Can’t win all the time, even though he hasn’t ... more »

Can’t embed it, but Vurb had a video of instagram and Deegan was pissed after the moto shouting something at Cochran. I like Deegan and what they do and I’ve defended him on here before, but it’s ironic how he has no problem riding aggressive himself ... more »

Not surprised really. That Suzuki no matter how factory it might have been was a dinosaur compared to what his competition was on.

I remember hearing the name Xylian Ramella but no idea where and when.

This will be exciting to see! I could totally see a Vialle like surge to the top.

Yeah I remembered Langenfelder and Rubini made the same move, but imo there’s a big difference between those two and Brumann though. Langenfelder and Rubini were toptop guys coming out of 125, while outside of Matterley Brumann didn’t show much. And ... more »

Skipping EMX250? That’s quite the jump from 125.

I think too think it’s a bit intresting because he used to run Acerbis almost his whole career because Tallon is the sales manager over there. TLD probably pays better $ though.

Shame. He was definitely one of the top up and coming french kids just a few short years ago.

Really excited for Max! He has done things a bit differently through his amateur career, intresting to see how he stacks up.

He had two collarbone injuries according to the press release I read.

Eddie Jay Wade confirmed as his team mate. Maybe I’ve missed it, but anyone have any info on where Guyon is going since he isn’t back with VRT?

I’ve seen it, that’s a nasty hit. But how about that track, Roggenburg I think? We need it back.

I don’t think Jacobi is that bad. I mean he’s not gonna be on the podium all the time, but when healthy he has potential and speed to be pretty close any given day.

Riley Racing Yamaha will line up with Raivo Dankers, Raf Meuwissen and Cornelius Tøndel in EMX250. Pretty intresting team. Tøndel rode EMX Open this year but is only 18, so showing good speed there apparently paid off. Meuwissen has had good results ... more »
