The Shop
But I have a feeling he might be in negotiations with a Euro team and perhaps angling for a better offer??
I understand fully if he doesn't wanna take an offer from the likes of Assomotor. He's better than that honestly and it will only hurt his career even more beeing on a bike that's not competitive
And besides that, he was pretty consistent and injury free... I think that in 2 years on a 450 he can be a top5 guy.
Other than that, the age rule is beginning to demand his toll now. The MXGP-class is now so stacked that even riders like Anstie, Van Horebeek and Paulin are having problems to find a decent spot. And it will only get worse with guys like Jonass and moving up. That is really a VERY bad thing for the sport.
I personally think that guys like Butron and Coldenhoff and some more don't even wanna ride a 450 if they have the possibility to choose, but rather stayed on a 250.
Pit Row
But anyway, i think in general many riders would be more then happy to race 250's if they got a good ride.
Riders buying rides and being slow will kill the MXGPs
The rewards are small, the risks are huge for anyone except YS.
It's a sad state of the sport, and it's equally messed up in the US the only difference is that you can change YS for their promotors of MX and SX.
MX is such a small sport, so the teams/companies rather bring in a wealthy 2nd rider instead of going for the best available, because ROI is probably too low on all racing activities.
but like most sports if theres money to be made AND power, it gets infiltrated and eventually run by some socio/psyco path...
