Reread your post and tell us if it makes sense.

I remember not very long ago they led both coasts like now and ended up winning neither of them. So I will hold off congratulating them just yet. Saying that I would like them to win at least one title.

Monsoon baby!!!!!! We need a wrench thrown in this series.

“Be Where Your Feet Are”

Kitchen was very smart about it. Knew there wasn’t a 450 future at Star. Shimoda on the other hand made a big mistakes. In line to be Kawi’s next guy, but instead to a chance to be on an under powered 250 on a team with no 450 spots due to Hunter and Jett

McAdoo. This story has been under construction for a very long time. He's locked in, riding consistent, and god willing...will probably hit his healthiest point in the series when they come back in a few weeks. I'm a bit biased, as he's from here, but I really believe this is his title to go and take. I went to Indy and called him to win that one...hopefully, I catch a prediction roll.

I’ve said this before, if Levi wins SX west this year, it lines him up perfectly to be the 2nd 450 Kawi guy in 2026 after Anderson’s contract is up.

Agree- Levi Kitchen seems like he will be an excellent 450 racer. Kawasaki was smart to get an option on him for 2026 or beyond.

I really hope Kitchen gets it, I'm obviously partial to NW guys but I also think he can use it as a springboard to be a bad ass 450 guy in the not so distant future. Hampshire has had a decade to make it happen, if he had the stuff to be a 450 contender he wouldn't still be racing kids that were on 50s when he went Pro.

What time does that guy race?

i have been thinking this for a while now. Imagine how happy pc would be haha.

Kitch allegedly left Star to have more freedom in his training and to get away from the Deegan circus. Both him and Cam seem to be a 180 from Deegan.

I thought the new rule is only champions can be forced?

If Vialle wins this year, he has only 2025 left in the 250 class and then he would be forced up to a 450? In that case i actually hope he doesn't win this year yet. I think it would be too soon for him to move up in 26. So McAdoo & RJ for me.

Yes I agree 👍

Tom Vialle is a good guy too, BTW.

Easily fixable though! Clearly someone at Feld or production crew pays a little attention as the split box is now 50/50. Still small on the screen but a step in the right direction. As for the tracks, more technical obstacles to slow riders down and make racing safer and more entertaining. The tracks from the 2000-2016ish blow these out of the water. These are boring watered down versions in the name of safety. Feld/Ama got it wrong

Shit production crew who does the same stale product year after year and told good job, tracks have been lacking going close to 10 years now. Dirt has clearly reduced, lack of 180 bowl turns and get some damn nets. None of this is rocket science, sport is going backwards in that regard. Forward in some areas like a small bump in rider pay and smx. But fundamentally we are reverting backwards
