Agree. When you saw Gajser his first clips on the Yamaha, I would have never thought he would have the hardest time to adjust to a new bike. While Herlings his first clips you could see how hard he had to adapt. It's a shame that Coenen got injured, but in all fairness Herlings lost like 4-5 titles due to injuries as well

you have to wonder if having Barry Forschelen at all GPs to 'support' a couple of riders (who ride for teams with their own coaches) really outweight the costs the KNMV has to incur (travel, stay, salary). afaik almost all dutch riders in mxgp, mx2, emx250 and emx125 have their own trainer/coach (or none). Why does he have to be there every GP?

Yeah your rumour is true. Will be confirmerd today or tomorrow. Yamaha already had a 250 ready to go for Coldenhoff. Maybe Roan is picked because Doensen (who trains with Barry) is going to Kosak in 2027.

Forschelen does it again! Jeez, he already wasn't that popular with the Dutch fans after his decisions of last year. I reckon this one won't help him either.

Maybe Team America could fund the trip by selling VIP experiences. What we will need from France to make this happen is roping off all the prime viewing spots, set up some EZ ups so 300-400 people can comfortably watch the race without all those pesky smoke bomb wielding Euros touching us.

My take on this. Why not make a YouTube record of this? Surely with Deegs following they could recoup the outlay. I thought Yamaha paid for Stars 450 team? What does Yamaha USA (or even Japan as it’s not a good look for the brand). How big an ‘entourage’ is going, should only be 1 mechanic per rider???? Who paid when Zacho, Anderson & JCooper went over early to get sand practice a couple of yeas ago?

I think all euro countries should boycott the US 2028 mxon….

The point is that riders 20 years ago were thrilled to go and represent their country. These guys made way less money and didn't even think of the injury risk. The top racers today like Deegan already have multi generational wealth, fly the flag for clicks and followers and still won't go. If they have an injury that is understandable but some are driven by inflated egos and modern culture and don't give a shit about anything but themselves. The fans are just something else to exploit

Really impressed what Byron Dennis is doing in emx250. To come over and get a podium within a few weeks (at such a track), really stromg. Keith was disapointing, expected a much better showing of him. I hope it motivates him to come over next year. And ducati, wow, to not qualify...

Congratulations, Bobby. You just made yourself to look like a clown just to cover for little Doucheboy because nobody else would pay him to go. Or, he never wanted to go anyway and needed an excuse. Again.

Fk me, it's hard to like this kid, even though I really want to He could have a easy win trying to win the fans over, all he has to do, is step out of his $10m mansion and put his hand in his pocket Win or loose, he would gain some respect from the fans, which currently it's not in abundance
