9/2/2025 3:26am Oh i understand why they are not signed by the top factory teams, but imo it would be good riders to have a bit deeper/bigger MX2 field. Would be nice if a team would step up and get these guys in MX2 and have bigger fields.

8/30/2025 10:05am Any news for '26 about some big name emx250 riders who had a disaster season? Like van Erp, Osterhagen, Bruce, Werner? Will we see them in mx2?

People downvote because there’s always this cryptic talk on this board like everyone is an insider and should know what’s going on, yet nothing is really ever said. “I know something you guys don’t, btw I heard it from an unnamed random source so you just got to believe it”

8/28/2025 9:27am Gifting should chase the best salary offer from a supported team and not go for a factory ride. It wont be fun in the factory team when you score 1 point in arnhem

8/27/2025 3:04am @KiwiBermRailer imo there has been a falling out and he wants out. Giving 100% and push as you say will not lead to Kawa letting him go. He would have scored i don't know maybe 75 points extra and be actually quite close to p 3 till 5 in points. He'd still be overpaid but why would Kawa let go...

8/26/2025 1:07am I would be all over him for a performance based contract. A 24 year old 4 time world champion that is not injured who you can have for peanuts would be to much to not take a risk on.

8/20/2025 3:58am i think Geerts and Martens would be a very bad combination. I don't think Martens hard communication would work with Geerts.

8/19/2025 9:45am Is gifting a privateer? Its not like he shows up in his van with a moto in the back

8/19/2025 9:44am Just wondering if there are many b-team option for Jago. As in teams that do the full championship and where Geerts would be an upgrade to what the teams now have. I think Jago at the right B-team could be a strong combo, imo Geerts can do much more on the 450 compared to what we have seen.

Believe it or not, the JK Racing team has their semi parked right by my local burger van RIGHT NOW. They actually came out to order at the same time I was there so naturally I talked to them about it. The bike was fine, Gifting crashed on his own. The start motor broke so thats why he couldnt get back going. The did absolutely not sound gutted about it. They were sooo pumped that he did what he did. Extremely friendly guys to talk to.

8/18/2025 2:14pm Well this weekend sure changed my perception of gifting. Beating the topriders straight up is something different to getting a p5 after a holeshot. Just being able to do that should get you a shot at a factory team.

8/17/2025 5:40am Gifting isnt an upgrade for yamaha. I'd keep Vlaanderen in that case. Coldenhoff next to gajser would be a super lineup but not sure they can afford that

8/9/2025 8:20am Well for the Jumbo owner it is a business career killer.

8/9/2025 8:19am Yeah Nestaan and Martens is news to me. BT was also mention Ed in a news article as using the jumbo sponsorship to buy an appartement in spain. Wonder if Yamaha sees this as a reason to change things.

Wim Hutten was part of this case, they asked for 80h community service as sentence, in the end he got 60 hours. For Frits van Eerd his conviction is out of proportion. The judge convict Van Eerd for "laundering money through criminal activities", instead of sport sponsorships. This due to the involvement of Theo Eggens. Here you've a interesting article (in dutch but a translate app can do his work), it is a old article but makes clear how Theo Eggens became "the mafia auto-dealer", his nickname in dutch-press. How Theo met Frits van Eerd due to a mutual friend...

8/7/2025 2:44am Isnt that more because he wants to support bervoets & de baets? And not specifically yamaha? Edit: in reply to cortami talking about corvers

8/6/2025 1:25pm To me it looks like yamaha is looking for teams who can party fund their factory efforts. Hutten could but now lost jumbo and that kind of ends the funding
