YoungMotion Added a reply to Why mostly Austrian bikes in MXGP?

4/21/2025 10:43am
Because of the tuning costs. Obviously for the factory teams this is different, but for the non-factory supported teams and privateers who have to pay it themselves tuning is a big hurdle. To have a decent tuned engine for MX2 or EMX250 riders the Austrian brands have been the lets say most cost effective option in the past couple of...

Our riders Nilsson, Olsson and Michelis will do Arco this weekend. We do 9 GPs where all 3 riders are racing and then we do another 4 were either one or two riders will enter. In our case the reason not to enter is not the costs to get to Sardegna, but the time to get there. We run this...

Unfortunately Petr Polak got injured in early august with dislocated shoulder, broken collarbone (other side), bruised lung, broken ribs and concussion. While he allready had a kneeinjury (acl & meniscus). It's why he missed the last GP rounds.

There are so many elements that you are missing out on regarding sponsorships when you just look a the visibility angle (including that you are massively underselling f1 viewing figures). But the main one is how many people actually care/are interested that you are involved in F1 vs. being involved in SX/MX. We run a GP team (2 riders in...

In our experience we see that when deciding between a partial MX2 season vs an EMX250 season, the tuning costs associated with MX2 is more of an issue then the costs of the wildcards. Thats because many riders in EMX250 don't have the 'a-package' in terms of tuning, which is an absolute necessity in MX2 (+ if you do wildcards...

Yes indeed on your 2nd sentence, it would be a big part of a budget for a season over here at least. Assuming you only buy such a bike for a rider who can get most out of this bike: We would be happy to get in touch with any rider having the budget to buy this bike (and the...

His mechanic is one of my best friends and puts crazy hours each week to get him and a few others of the team to the gate. Young motion has a partnership with the team, so for us its significant and cool to see him ride a GP, my friend

Went to KTM group practice in Axel yesterday, someone filmed them during the day. I was there later in the afternoon, so Jonass, Vialle, Olsen etc were already gone. However, Prado was flying, doing some 40 min moto's. Another cool thing to see is how involved Joel Smets is with every KTM group rider. He was working with Adamo alot. I think (and heard) that he will be on orange next year Cool . Tom Guyon and Liam Everts put in a lot of laps. Hopefully Walvoort is ready for this weekend.. serious speed but he needs a good start to...

Unfortunately Jens fell at Axel yesterday and has a small injury which will prevent him from starting in Latvia. Which is a shame since it would have been his GP debut (and the wildcard request had been approved)

During our discussions with potential riders for our team for the 2022 season we spoke with at least 3 riders who preferred doing EMX250 or EMXopen over wildcards. Reason they gave was they all had done full seasons in mx2 or mxgp and it was very hard to stay motivated when best you can do is fight for a point...
