Saw Gifting last year?

Marvin always looked like that though pretty much since he's been in the GPs. Some people are just naturally that thin/skinny and have hard time putting weight on. He still threw a 450 around like he was riding a mountain bike. Super underrated style Agree on AP though, ever since outdoors last summer he isn't the same guy anymore.

Doubtful with both RV and MC already filling that need.

We all have those. But lots of people have said this, even on the MXGP broadcast, but it is wrong. And for clarity, he is 100% fast enough to have done it, but he simply never rode the WC .

The older demographic around here makes sense...most of us started here (on the forums) before social media was even a thing (this was our social media)...all the younger kids grew up with social media and so they never needed a forum because they are on instagram, tiktok and facebook since they manage a touch screen.

Karssemakers doesnt have the speed to ride a 250 in the MXGP. De Wolf does.

Vlaanderen in open?

34. You'll find the average forum user is older than the average age of a viewer of the site.

Who is good enough to lead that team ? There are 4 guys in the class who are guaranteed winners , Herlings, Coenen, Febvre and Gajser. With Coenen going, KdW becomes the 4th man, and that leaves KTM and Kawasaki chasing a guy that doesnt exist.

Ah , ok then, i did not know that at the time, and so that means he expected to be better too, and the injury was holding him back.

i strongly disagree. Before he got injured Valin was 6th in points, after 9 GPs, just 20 points from McLellan in 3rd. Including a GP win and another 2 qualifying wins. To me he look exactly on the upward trajectory to battle for more GPs this season and even more in 2027.

It's showing that he was on the podium six times from 10 races and had two qualifying race wins before he got injured. Not exactly 'stalling out'. Until his injury he was considerably better than last year.

Too bad we didn't get to see 100% Lucas vs 100% Herlings last Saturday. It would have been something.

Yes he has, and without 3 no scores in 2025, he would have been closer to Reisulis, and have been second in EMX at least. But Reisulis, Zanocz and Garcia were the only ones to win races in 2025, you could argue that he should have gone up as well, but maybe Kawasaki wanted to cover off their bases and win 2 championships with BUD, while they had the chance. Zanocz secong place was as much about consistency as raw speed, and he admits he has found the leap to MX2 bigger than he expected.
