I know this would never happen but just for dumb conversation… Is it legally possible?
Star Racing Yamaha is known for winning at all costs. Let’s say Star Racing pays Dylan his typical 450 rate but puts him on a Star Racing 250f with a #1 plate on it for the last round… Would he be eligible or is there a rule against it? Again, prefacing this with I know it would never happen, but COULD Star pull out all stops and put another 250 on the line with Dylan and hope Justin can run up front and Dylan can chase him around as a buffer.
What was that? Did someone say bunching?! If J Coop doesn’t get to the front right away, let Ferrandis get to the lead and BUNCH UP the field behind him!
Uhm.. Discuss?

RC dropped down to the 125 class back in the day.

DC, please bend the rules.
A.) Yamaha would get to showcase their 2strokes and show that they can be competitive ----(or not ?)
B.) Dylan would instantly become a fan favorite and win over most of the fans that he has "alienated" over the past few years by being French and/or for any other reason that he may ruffled feathers.
It would be waaay too cool if that were to happen, however there's a better chance that I'm going to base jump off the Eiffel tower this weekend than Ferrandis running a YZ250.
He's going to throw that away to "help" his teammate? How did that work out for Savagy at Monster Cup
In the hypothetical situation I laid out, Star pays Dylan the same bonus money to try and create a buffer between Justin and Jett. I already stated that it would never actually happen, I was just asking if it would even be legal for him to drop down.
WARNING! 2-STROKE RANT: [R]
[If I had to guess, I'd say the 2022 YZ250 is not homologated to race. It's a damn shame, too, because it would make 250cc racing a lot more interesting and affordable for privateers. (Not to mention more competitive for them.)
Now that 4-strokes have been developed so much and everyone seems to think a 250F is on par with a "real" 250 (they are sorely mistaken,) it would be a great time for equal displacement racing. ] [/R]
OK, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
TV,
Fans would absolutely love it.
So, HYPOTHETICALLY, Dylan Ferrandis might want to emulate RC4 . . .
Same if Shimoda had the points lead
With that said, if it was Forkner with the points lead..............
My point being, it would be viewed as ganging up on a kid....which never plays well.
Pit Row
Dylan is an animal, maybe he should just double up and smoke them all. Then treat himself with a visit to Centerfolds to celebrate.
Please God.....Let DF show up in Hangtown on a 250 2-smoker....
What Dylans bike will likely look like in the future
Do you want to ride the best bike (as evidenced by its title pedigree,) or the one that is ridden by the popular guy? The blue guys point to the scoreboard and collect your cash for a YZ.
Lets be honest.. the bike doesnt need to be built.. get a half way decent fork and shock setting(which the could do first try since the ride would be for shits and giggles), slap a pipe, port the head with a HC Piston(maybe try and sneak a 300 kit) and good fuel and shes ready to go..
