with AC saying kawasaki not letting him go to MXdN

when was the last time a Factory Kawasaki or Procircuit Kawi rider did an off season race or MXdN in europe, would have been AC when he got hurt in Geneva, 2016? a 450 guy, i cant remember them doing any races since then as well,

is this maybe more a company policy for Kawi USA not letting guys race offshore , rather than a one off this year?

Kawasaki USA has nothing to gain by having their riders go overseas and race those races.

It used to be that people just had to race and would go wherever the races were.

Last time he did a race overseas with Kawasaki USA was 2011 MXdN if I’m not mistaken. Can’t count the GP’s as he was on the European Factory Kawi team.

Dean WIlson was another.
That’s true, Wilson rode the MXdN on a Pro Circuit Kawasaki in 2014. Baggett went in 2011 and 2012.

The European Kawasaki teams represent and are just fine without the Merican team there. The US is becoming irrelevant as far as outdoor motocross goes.

Of course that’s why the MXGP race threads get 3 pages on race day and the Outdoor MX threads get 23 pages on race day!

Probably all those millions of euro fans are hitting up the other social media outlets for chatting during the races?

That’s right, those” millions” of non Merican fans couldn’t care less about this site, it’s irrelevant to them and they prefer to be part of the spectacle by attending or using thier language friendly site with fans that actually are knowledgeable about the GPs instead of bitching about the subpar US tv coverage available as they sit on thier couch at home

Probably Mike Williamson's fault, he was the issue with everything else Kawasaki
