Will this be his third go around with team PC? That's crazy either way.

*Edit, it's only his second. The only brand that he hasn't raced is Honda.

Why not stay 450... he has been on it all year .

Maybe its a carrot for the young guys ...

Getting a ride with PC Kawi is usually a dream but Davalos is thriving in the 450's! It's frustrating that he can't secure a decent ride, especially considering his massive improvements.

Only way Davalos will win 250 title is train with Aldon Baker and loose that babyfat. Its crazy why PC dont have their own training program build in.

Probably can't get a 450 ride coz he's spent too long in the lites class. Type cast you could say.

More then deano? Deano is sitting 4th in points that's pretty damn good for a dude who is just trying to get a full season under his belt. Deano will be a force next year.

Pumped that he has a good ride again....but can't help but say wtf??? His 450 outdoor rides have been incredible, why not factory KTM, or RMATV KTM??? This is a little like going back out with the old girlfriend that dumped you or you dumped her, I don't think it matters. I hope he can win a title that would be some amazing stuff.

Osborne is racing 450 next year outdoor , taking Davalos spot at Husky

I honestly think Marty rides better on the 450. Would have been interesting to see how he would have faired in SX on the big bike.

Now he´s going back to 250s and will once again be a top10-top5 guy outdoors and podiumthreat indoors but havent we seen this now for more than a decade?

How is this even possible? The new 250 class eligibility rule change?

"Geico Honda:
Jeremy Martin"

Isn't JM staying down again in the 250's?

It's funny how so many of you just assume that he had a 450 offer on the table(factory equipment).

I´m not assuming he did, just stated the fact that I´d love to see what he would have done in the 450s.

That beeing said I dont think he would have any problem getting a semi-top team ride like Rock River or Tedder or something similar but I guess you have to pay your bills too Tongue .

We need more semi-factory teams like RMATV or Cycle Trader (I know RMATV is basically factory now). More really good non-factory bikes to fill all the great riders out there. Right now you either have a full factory bike or you go privateer.

Maybe i didnt see the memo
Or forgot, but apparently husky is dumping the 250 program and lining up 3 450
Riders????

I know it costs money to run them but they get almost as much exposure from the 250 class. But i am sure they have reasons. I would go 2 and 2.

Yeah i'm not pointing at you specifically, i'm pointing at all the people that instantly says "Marty being Marty again and staying down". I really think that he would move up fulltime on a 450 if he would get a decent salary, good bonus program and factory level equipment. I think he said that on the PulpMX show when he was on there.


You can't put RMATV and Cycle Trader in the same sentence, RMATV has been a factory backed satellite team for multiple years with factory bikes for all their riders. Cycle Trader is a really good team and much needed in the sport but at the same time far from what RMATV is. I don't know why, but KTM seems to be the only OEM willing to fund or at least have a factory satellite team out there. Like you say, we need more of factory satellite teams like RMATV or stable "B-level" teams like Cycle Trader!

And remove the pointing out rules from the 250 class!

Why is pro circuit signing useless riders and letting hill go to another team? Frustrating as hell from a huge kawi fan.

Yeah you´re right RMATV is way above every other non-factory team.

Just look at MXGP with the amount of factory-backed satellite team.
Every brand has at least one or more competitive satellite team in both classes.

I can hardly think of any proper stable B-teams or satellite teams for 450s in the US. Traders Racing but thats about it, the rest is pretty much to my knowledge either privateers or factory teams.

Rules be stupid. Most expensive class in professional motocross and people "point out"? What kind of stupid shit is that? Seriously, you really have to question the mental state of those who make this stuff up.
