Vital MX GP Bits: 2024 MXGP of Latvia

Kicking it off... Juan Pablo

Safety first. Juan Pablo

GP pit boards are spacious. Juan Pablo

Yup, there was mud/wet conditions again in Latvia. Juan Pablo

Ever wonder how trick 125s would be if we still raced them at a high level here? Juan Pablo

Yamaha puts a lot of emphasis on their GYTR-brand in EMX125 and EMX250. Juan Pablo

We want the carbon goodies here too. Juan Pablo

GYTR silencer. Juan Pablo

Second year we've seen red PHDS bar mounts on the EMX125 YZs...we still have no clue why. Juan Pablo

Talon hubs, Talon rims, and a Talon carbon brake disc guard. It also has machined billet fork lugs, titanium hardware, and a modified stock brake caliper. Juan Pablo

Simpler times... Juan Pablo

If you look the front of the radiator shrouds, you can see a riveted on guard to help keep the shroud out of Gajer's boots. Also, there's a lot of electrical tape over his holeshot device hook...probably to keep mud out of it on the sight lap. Juan Pablo

2025 Kawasaki KX250? Juan Pablo

Not quite, the BUD Racing team just retrofitted the the new KX450 plastic onto the existing KX250. Juan Pablo

BUD engien mounts, BUD radiator hoses, BUD clutch cover, BUD triple clamps...you get the drift... Juan Pablo

No denying Kay de Wolf's style. Juan Pablo

These photos will be a relic soon, as it sounds much more certain that Husqvarna will not be racing in MX2 or MXGP next year. So what will happen to the Nestaan team? We expect to see them operating KTM's factory effort instead... Juan Pablo

The electronic try on the Factory Huskies is quite a bit different than stock. Juan Pablo

Someone is watching... Juan Pablo

The carbon cover over the fuel pump is a nice touch, and the new guard over the ECU. Juan Pablo

Lucas Coenen is one of the few Austrian factory riders using traditional spring forks in the GPs, while his teammate Kay de Wolf is on an air fork. Juan Pablo

Juan Pablo

2D data system? Juan Pablo

Austrian factory 250s surrounding a Triumph. Juan Pablo

Sacha Coenen has finally arrived. Juan Pablo

Will the Coenen brothers stay in GPs for 2025 or make their way to the USA? It's going to happen, it just might be sooner than we expected. Juan Pablo

It's interesting how different the electronics packaging is on these KTMs compared to the production bike. Juan Pablo

Here's a weird rumor for you, and again we say it's a rumor...Liam Everts to Kawasaki's new MX2 factory team? Juan Pablo

A look at Jacky Martens' Honda team. Juan Pablo

Neken triple clamps with production Showa forks tuned by K-Tech. Juan Pablo

We're not sure how we feel about HGS' exhausts newer exhaust can design. Juan Pablo

HGS produces a shorter head pipe design for the team. Suter clutches also are unique and not common here in the US. Juan Pablo

The electric water pump craze is in the MX2 class as well. It also appears the team uses FCP engine mounts with the anodizing stripped off. Juan Pablo

Juan Pablo

Coated lower fork tubes with a Moto Master billet brake caliper. Juan Pablo

Hmmm, 18mm coated shock shaft? Juan Pablo

Looks like a new handlebar-mounted suite of electronics from GET. Juan Pablo

Jeffrey Herlings clicks off another moto win... Juan Pablo

But sits 68 points adrift in the title hunt. Juan Pablo

Davide DeCarli walking with his father Claudio...there's a lot of movement for the Austrian-trio of brands in MX2 and MXGP, make sure you watch/listen to next week's MXGP podcast to learn more. Juan Pablo
