I can see your point and it makes sense, but Gasjer may have a supercross itch he needs to scratch. If he does, then I say he should go for it and give it a shot. I think if a rider has certain talents he can be good at sx pretty quick. Gasjer may have the natural abilities to be good at it in less time than some people. I don't know if lining up at A1 with top ama guys is wise, but if he came to the u.s., practiced on some REAL sx tracks, and showed enough speed, then maybe lining up for A1 might be alright. Nobody would be expecting him to do very well since he's a GP rider with no sx history. He could just see how well he could do. See if he could make the main event and if he did, then see how well he could place without riding over his head. I say if it's something he wants to try, then he should try it. You never know. He could be a natural at it and decide to go for it full time. I would think with the interest he shows in supercross that he would race Bercy, Genova, and some of those. It's not like an an amazing sx by any stretch, but it's a way to get a taste of sx against some good ama sx guys. Monster Energy Cup is a good idea since it's just a hard, slick motocross race in a stadium with huge prize money and the track has nothing on it the euros aren't accustomed to. I don't know why Herlings doesn't race it really. I say if Gasjer is still interested in racing in the u s.that he should do it. Even if it's just one or two races. Motocross or supercross. Whatever he wants to try he should try. A top Euro in the mix always makes it cooler and more people want to watch it.

What the fuck are you talking about "bro"? Nothing I said regarding Gasjer was meant to be an insult and none is related to Covington..Yes it would be just as hard for Gasjer to make the main because it would be in the 450 class. That is way harder than the 250 class. I know he's a world champion, but for a newcomer to supercross, even a world champion will have a hard time making a 450 sx main. Especially with little time to practice. I was just saying he should give it a try and see what he can do if he wants to. None of it is related to Covington and none is an insult. Quit injecting some bullshit meaning into what I said and linking it to other shit other people say. My words are a compliment to Gasjer. If I didn't think he was good enough, I'd he saying he should stay the fuck away from sx. Skip over my posts if you can't understand stand what I'm saying.

I’d rather see him come over for a couple summers and stay away from SX. He’s fast as shit in MXGP and would no doubt do good on the groomed US tracks.

In the GPs, they groom the track for the practices and then the qualifying race, then it doesn't get touched for the motos. So when MX2 goes out for their first moto, the track has already had a 30 +2 with MX2 and MX1 on it.

As a supercross fan and a Tim Gajser fan. Hope he Stays in the GP’s. Supercross is a meat grinder. You have to start young to make it through and even then it can tear you up. He’s a world champ. Keep grinding there. Have a long great career. Who knows if TC hangs it up next year and Herlings continues knocking himself out of contention every other year, he could have a few more world mx titles on his wall! If anything come run a few one off nationals like Herlings did.

Gajser should probably stay in MXGP. I don't think we will see many guys cross over that don't grow up riding SX as time goes on. Case in point, kids like Sexton and Forkner. They already have tons of time on a SX track long before they ever take the gate at a 250 SX. As SX continues to be the more dominant series in the USA, younger riders will do more and more SX prep earlier and earlier. The odds of a 23 year old multi-time MXGP champ with little SX coming to America and succeeding will diminish even more.

Regarding RV, he's never really said it outright but for sure that effort in 2015 was not ideal. He had a deal with Kawi for 2015, was done with SX and this MXGP was the only way he could get the full contract money. He definitely has said he had problems getting the bike how he wanted from the team. I say if he did 2015 with Williamson as his wrench and a couple of the American Kawi technicians, and had a full Aldon-prep winter he could have won that title. We'll never know, but RV was the last of the true American badasses who could generally get it done on any day and not be wallowing about his setup or "feel".

If RV landed to Europe of the couch then that was just complacent arrogance. From what I read he wouldn’t listen to his mechanics and persisted running the bike to stiff and high at the front. He’s one of the most competitive individuals that ever threw his leg over a motorcycle and your saying he didn’t care about winning In Europe. Well if that was the case it’s put a serious blot on an otherwise fantastic career and devalued his legacy. If the US calendar burns you out by that age then TG243 would better off where he is as that means he’s only got 3 years to learn SX.
Fed up with all this RV was not trying BS
