Mxmag reported that Riley racing would be back in mx2 fulltime with Tom Guyon.

Just imagine if Arnhem would draw spectator numbers similar to Germany or France. It would be total chaos. Teutschenthals announced 27.000. This weekend Arnhem published an interview in which they said last year had 7.000 ....

Ok maybe i misread, but what does Prado mean with 30 40s in the quote in the opening post?

I feel that many can put in 1 fast lap relatively close to prado's speed. But during race thry lose a lot more per lap

Yeah Beta tools, they are actually quite active in mxgp, i think they are also partner of Husqvarna mx2, Standing Construct, Yamaha MX2 and others

Jorge is talking about 30-40secs a lap difference, but the difference is actually much less and still riders get lapped twice a race. Imo its actually really hard to solve. It would help if tracks would be longer, but Infront does not want that because they would need more tv cameras which is costly. Also you could say if you...

The problem is those tracks are not available. For sure there are better locations but there is no alternative in the netherlands at the moment with the combo of good track and a willing promoter. Of the issues Arnhem has i just dont see how they improve the logistics. The viewing can be improved with huge stands or a big...

Actually the promotor/organizer for Valkenswaard is also involved in the GP in Arnhem. Tbh i really like the track in Arnhem for the GP, as in the racing it produces. Obviously Valkenswaard alway was great, but in terms of races i think Arnhem is a good track for the calendar. But for the fans at the track the access and...

They just dont have the space. For the viewing the only solution i can think of is build a big hill all along the back end of the circuit where 1 of the stands was. They have a maybe 10-15 meters left in terms of depth that they could use over 100-150 meters But that is probably to costly?

According to press release a kneeinjury and chevks on monday should tell more about the severity.

Mxmag posted last week that the Gebben team would return, but in mx2 and have Cas Valk as rider

I wonder what it would mean for SB racing if he'd go to Triumph. The owner of SB is also Jens manager if i'm not mistaken.

Not sure if he still wants to do mx2 but Bonacorsi should be getting some offers for a good ride in mx2 i would imagine. He'd be an upgrade for Fantic and a decent option for the kawa and triumph factory efforts imo. Got a top 3 finish, 2 years left.

Depends on what you see as cutoff for shouldnt be there. Looking at the list i expect all in mxgp to be within 8 to 10 secs of fastest in time practice. In mx2 there are probably a couple who will be further off. Imo we should focus more on how we get the guys at gps that are faster...

i think the dutch riders you mention would be good additions to the MX2 field if there was no age limit (and maybe 250 2 strokes allowed). MX2 has been lacking depth in the field at the non-emx250 races

Will be interesting to see if all mxgp riders on the list show up, would be the first time this season we have qualifying to actually make the race

I also think a 450 will fit him better. But imo what he gains by fiting better on the 450 he will more then lose due to the talent level in MXGP. Horgmo, Guillod, Bonacorsi, Guadagnini, Paturel and Tondel are all doing a good job imo in MXGP. But between them they did over 150 motos this season and combined...

If you have the money its a great experience, see a different part of the world and different raceserie. He is fast enough to qualify so why not. Wish i had the talent and money to do the same

Regulars like Benistant, Bonacorsi, Rossi, Prugnieres, Osterhagen, Weckmann, Stauffer, Mikula, Fredriksen, Bruce, Gwerder, Kooiker, Krug, Ranio, Benatti all injured or moved to MXGP. And apparently most young riders that are out of top 5 championship finish still prefer to do emx250 over mx2.

The Kemea teamboss said a few months ago Calvin had an option that kicked in if he was top 5 in points,so yeah i think he gets a nice deal. As for Elzinga, i can see him getting a deal at yamaha with '25 being his last mx2 year and his results and not sure which better option there is...
