So this new EMX class is riders aged 16-50 175 to 450 cc machines 2 or 4 stroke. Who will be racing this class , mainly aged out 250 GP riders who can't get an MXGP ride ?
Would be a good series. The struggle and crazyness with getting a ride in the MXGP is just crazy and every year it’s becoming a bigger problem for allot of guys.
This would create some new teams and would be allot more fun for allot of guys instead of going allin for P15 or futher down the leaderboard..
If you really want to add a GP MX3 class with open cc why not make it a class where you need to race a production enduro bike and only slight modifications are being allowed.
Personally i would love to see a 125cc world championship with no age limits, but that isn't going to happen.
The Shop
125cc is catered for with the EMX125 , its a feeder class, and great to watch .
But i'm not in favor of this class as an official world championship as Biridella suggests (or at least thats my translation of an "mx3 gp class") if the mx3 world champ is running the same bike as the mxgp class.
Of course, it will be hugely 450 4ts, as, that's what is most available, and, most backed / promoted. And, most competitive. But, dickheads committed to "4ts are the very bestest", whilst hiding behind handicapping rules that have stopped much more than over bored 250s being 'big' 2ts, will carry on about the lack of 2ts, just as they do with EMX250.
I'm not sure if 250 2ts can still be run in EMX2, with the reduction in the up to 300cc 2t class, to 250cc 2ts this year, for EMX2t. A 250 2t did get an overall in EMX250, in France about two / three years ago - at Villo's Escargot (that's what I call it, though he never made it that far..... bummer as I was there to see him. and, all the other riders, of course) . A Brit, James Dunn(e?), I think it was.
All I want to see is MX2, and MXGP, be open to any ICE type, up to each classes maximum CCs. It will still be a horde of 4ts, because, as I wrote above, that's what's mostly made, and promoted. Fair enough, but, just make the rules, fair, FFS!
And No flamin' age limits. And No bloody Title limits. It's complete and utter BS.
125cc, 250cc, and, 450cc World Championships classes. And, the same in EMX Classes, as 'feeders'.
What sport has a friggin' 50 year old age out rule? Bizarre.
As for riders that will be lining up, atleast Kim Savaste is gonna line up. Has anyone heard of other guys? I would assume there would be a good handful of guys that usually do a round or two in MXGP that would line up.
