They're taking the 'Herlings route' , just keep on racing😉

It's insane that Fahie and Bruce Stjernstrom hasn't been letgo. Insane. Especially Fahie, the fact that he publically made it seem like Sexton made a mistake when the bike cut out on him mid air is disgusting. And there isn't a single championship winning level rider that will sign for this team the coming 5+ years.

While it is hard to believe, there must be some truth to it; remember Mitch said they got hold of it and made a 20% improvement (can’t remember exact figure) straight away? That shouldn’t be possible with a factory engine, unless it’s way off the mark.

That is what i have also said all along. It was over then and there. Zero chance that Sexton was going to work under that management for a second more.

Peter and Jeffrey Herlings

Swervin' Mervin and Max Anstie are somewhere on the list. Maybe not near the top but they deserve a mention. Also, Mickael Pichon's son Zach in representing France on the Trophy Team at the ISDE and although that isn't motocross per se, the kid's gotta be fast on a dirt bike to represent his country at that level.

Anyone that destroys Deegan is my guy

Harry & Stefan Everts, and it's not even close (14 World Championships between them).

Does this signal the possibility of an end to the MX2/EMX issue where money is being spent for fun, on looking for 'new talent' , without there actually being any teams left to take the riders. Drastic measures in these tough times, cut travel, cut races, and roll up classes, make EMX something that domestic teams can step up to occasionally, and MX2 a proper series that is Europe only , that doesnt do the fly aways. Add local classes to support those GP's There is a point where being a sustainable sport has to come first. The materials to...

If a rider who runs away from facing the GP boys every year is seen as the best example of american "grit", then it's easy to see where the problem is. The 3 guys who stepped up for the US this year are the ones who have grit.

Did they learn anything yet? Have they learned testing at the test track is pointless? Have they committed to doing as many offseason races as possible and going to as many other tracks as possible? Or are we gonna spin endless laps at the test track, feel great there, show up to a1 and realize none of it translates….

Yeah it does my head in when people talk about this. The GP paddock is not full of prototype works bikes that are on a whole other level compared to the US production based bikes. Firstly, running a full proto bike is most likely much more expensive than running a production bike. And the GP teams aren't swimming in Euros as we all know. Secondly, the works bikes are usually just the OEMs running the next gen bike a year early. Like Honda in 2026, KTM with Adamo in the latter part of 2026, Kawasaki with Febvre in 2023. And...

When Zacho and Anderson raced in Lommel they had an option to race the GP bikes. They tested them and settled for their AMA spec bikes. Different is not always better. The GP works bikes is getting blown out of proportion right now. They are more pre-production bikes than the ultra advanced bikes we saw in the 80’s. For example Febvre won his GP title on a stock framed Kawasaki and the US fan base are trying to make it sound like he was on a space ship while Prado raced a bicycle. As you said, the Lawrence’s have done...
