Speaking of Renen, part of the reason Seewer signed with the brand for 2024 was to have more creative freedom over the look and design of his gear.  Juan Pablo

He sapped to handguards at some point in the weekend. Juan Pablo

The two level pit area towers would be nice to have in the US, but for our single-day events...the setup time just doesn't make sense. Juan Pablo

Antti Pyrhonen, the Kawasaki MXGP Team Manager, is in an interesting spot going into 2025. He currently has two high-profile riders with Romain Febvre and Jeremy Seewer, both of which only have contracts with the team for 2024...with both rumored to be going elsewhere in 2025. Juan Pablo

Andrea Adamo's title defense couldn't be going much worse... Juan Pablo
Place holder
Rumors of a potential Motocross of Nations being held in the future at Trentino have us scratching our heads. The venue is so scenic and becoming iconic on the schedule, but it can't house the size of event that MXoN has become. We'll have to see where this one goes. Juan Pablo

A little more style to cap off GP bits. Juan Pablo
