Austin Forkner will be 22 this year
Justin Cooper will be 23 this year
He's not that much older than the two guys he's racing against. He's still younger than two other top contenders in the class though. He just feels like he's been around at the top level for ages.
Christian Craig will be 29 this year
Alex Martin will be 31 this year
250 class riders are getting older and older. Very rare that you see a teenager battling up front in that class anymore.
People can say what they want about Ferrandis' age, but it's not like he's been in the 250 class forever.
Cianciarulo: Entered the 250 class in 2013 and moved up to the 450 this year.
Forkner: Entered the 250 class in 2016 and will be riding the 250 again in 2021.
Ferrandis: In his 4th and final year of the 250 class and is moving up to the 450 in 2021.
These kids deanwhite is referring to, have more SX experience than he has.
I do think he has an experience advantage, whether SX or not, and it shows in that he is significantly more composed (that comes from maturity) than Cooper, Forkner (or Ferrandis himself three years ago). That said, he is fast as hell, and I look forward to him in 450s.
Add in Sexton and Musquin, the 450 class should be even better in 2021 if everyone stays healthy.
