Pancar would be a good option IMO.

Marc-Antoine Rossi coached by Joel Smets will be a deadly combinaison. Don't be surprised to see the kid winning GP's once he'll be 100% dialed (he had a ACL surgery and is just back on the bike) by mid-season. Best talent France had for a very long time. Incredibly smooth also. And one more rider who wants to go to the USA ASAP.

Rossi coached by Smets will be a better version of himself, that's for sure!

Just listened to the episode Copper Webb agrees with him about on the same show

The old school mentality that you never talk about what you make has kept people making less than they are worth for decades.

Vital… “This guy is too old! Why’s he still sand bagging the 250 class?!” Also Vital… “This kid’s too young! Why’s he moving to 450’s already!!!”

"Developing race craft enough to win a title". LOL. If it was either De Wolf or Coenen, both of them deserved to win it. It was only a deficit of 20 points, it's not like De Wolf smoked him with a lead of 100+ points.

Still bitter about all of that tea that ended up in the harbor

He didn’t do a good job explaining it but I think what he was trying to say is because the countries are all so close in Europe you get a melting pot of fans from all over and a lot of them come. When they are in the US you get some international fans but the crowd is largely USA fans.

He's 100% correct, I've had multiple friends go to multiple MXON and they've all told me the same thing, "if you're going to go to one, go to a European one". I know someone on the Australian MXON committee who's gone to every MXON for the last 30+ years who will happily tell you the same. I'm generalising here, but unfortunately a lot of Americans are narrow minded and still believe that everything American is better, just because it's American, and 9/10 it's not. I know I'm going to get crucified for that comment but........facts.

You guys can even see the obvious. If it’s held in Europe, ppl can travel to the even from a dozen countries for under $200. They bring their energy and culture. When in the US, it’s mainly US folks and much less ppl travel here from Europe.

I've been forutnate to have been to MXDN on both sides of the pond, Europe does it better! We have been programmed to keep our emotions contained less you get slam booked all over the world on some forum.

I am fortunate to say I have been to MXdNs on both continents, (Ernee and Red Bud) both were absolutely amazing experiences, but he is right, the atmosphere was better in France. It’s ok, he isn’t saying some great statement about the countries as a whole. Just an event. You can untangle the Panties, it’s just a man’s opinion, he isn’t burning a flag, relax.

I have never been to a US DesNations but a couple in europe along with multiple GP’s in different countrys. And im going on a limb here and guessing that in the US DN’s it’s most American and Canadian fans. I know people that went to RedBud from Sweden but in the big picture i would guess that it’s most american fans with american flags making it look like a regular national. While in europe it becomes a melting pot of fans from more countries that create another atmosphere with different flags around the track for example. I don’t know...

My vote definitly goes to Karlis Reisulis. I would have never expected a season like that from him. I always thought Janis (his younger brother) would have an amazing first 250 season after the speed he showed on the 125 last year, and would shadow his most experienced older brother quickly. In the end, Janis got injured and was off the entire year, and Karlis had some decent EMX250 results before jumping to MX2 midway through the season and showing some top 5 speed, which was definitly unexpected. His sunday at Matterley was great, winning B class on the 250...

Yes to Coenen, after passing de Wolf and others he ate up Vialles lead in no time at all in the qualifyer too, hugely impressive on Sunday putting it to many top 450 guys, unfortunately he's been prone to crashes which ultimately cost him the MX2 championship, he even started off completely on the back foot in Argentina giving a head start to everyone after crashing out of a Moto and had many more smaller mishaps but was quicker than Kay the majority of the time... Insane talent, same goes for Kay but Lucas looks like the next Roczen Laengenfelder...
