DonM Liked a reply to forum topic Star Racing Yamaha Announces Withdrawal from 2026 MXoN
8/24/2026 10:34am It's easy to blame the Deegans and Star but that doesn't solve the issue that a country of our size and with the majority of the worlds MX industry based here fails as miserably as they do in raising enough funds to support the team and their expenses....be angry at them as that is the main reason we can't send our best team. No factory team or rider should have come out of pocket to race this event...For Christs sake we have a podcast that raises over a $100k to support privateers surely there is a way to raise enough...

8/24/2026 6:33am Everyone’s got this arse about. Star wants $25k per bike to go to MXDN. $50k two riders! Every rider who has gone before them is out of pocket $7k to $10k in travel costs etc, Tomac, RJ but do it to represent their country. Apparently according to today’s weekend review USA MXDN raises about $100k selling t shirts etc to cover costs. They cant afford to cover Stars fee. Aus is way further away and we always pay our own way and everyone is proud to ride for their country. Gally and crew do raise funds to cover some costs...

8/24/2026 6:26am The American industry is 15-20 years too late with the demands of show-up money. Sorry but nobody is purchasing tickets because Justin Cooper, Garrett Marchbanks or Levi Kitchen is racing the event. Id go as far as the same can be said about Tomac and Sexton as well, they don't make a significant difference in how many people attend the event. The only one that could move the needle slightly is Deegan, because he hasn't yet raced the event and people would want to see where he stacks up on a GP track. But that is it. The days of...

8/23/2026 2:51pm I don’t think Star is taking an unreasonable position, it’s not cheap to send bikes, personnel, equipment etc. My issue is that every single year it seems like it gets 3 rounds from the end of outdoors and then everyone acts as if this race just crept up on them and nobody was expecting it and now they suddenly need...
30minmotos Liked a reply to forum topic Prado's fault?
5/9/2026 11:18pm Prado literally was just riding behind him. He didn’t even make him adjust lines or anything, he didn’t block pass, he didn’t even stick a wheel in, what the fuck was he supposed to do? He was getting pressure from behind, if he slowed down he gets passed and ran over by 5 riders. You guys are all nuts. PDS Prado derangement syndrome

4/24/2026 6:33pm You mention that as a massive stroke of luck for Herlings yet conveniently forget to mention the bad luck he had (good fortune for his competitors) of getting landed on and breaking his shoulder blade, that was the only reason he was at a points deficit in the first place, he still had to come back and race with a...

4/24/2026 10:42am “Also needed a massive stroke of luck to get title #2 late in the season“ How can you say that his 2021 title was luck? Then you're really a clown or a hater. If anyone was unlucky that year it whas herlings.

4/24/2026 10:45am I don’t really care what the stats sheet says. To suggest it’s only maybe that he’s in the Top 5 is laughable. And between the broken shoulder blade and a mechanical DNF in Trentino he gave up 100 points to Febvre in 2021 and still won the title, so to suggest he needed any luck in that case is even...

4/24/2026 8:43am I think after he got hurt in Seattle the focus switched to doing all the races after he came back and staying fit for outdoors. He’s not exactly killed it in SX, the first 5 rounds were really good, he has shown enough to be positive heading into next year

4/24/2026 8:29am Matthes said that he wouldn’t be surprised if he leaves before outdoors. He did also say that he doesn’t think that’s what will happen, but the fact we’re already at the point where he wouldn’t be surprised to see it tells you something about the situation over there. Given everything that happened last year, and how much was riding on...

4/24/2026 8:25am Herlings is the European GOAT. It’s not really important to me what the stats sheet says, It would be nice for him to have had a couple more titles, but I think everyone knows that Herlings is the standard when it comes to MXGP for the last decade. His peak I would put up against anyone in the history of...

4/24/2026 7:53am Sexton probably sees or saw himself as better than Prado and therefore any issues Prado had wouldn’t apply to him. I think that’s just the way the elite guys think. I think there’s pretty strong chance that Kawi promised a lot more than they can actually deliver as well
