Just a thought, but you know how some good riders have came to the USA after they were to old to stay in the 250 Class in Europe. And got to come here and stay on the 250 for a coupe more years,
What if Someone that pointed out here in the USA at a young age, then went to Europe to be able to stay on the 250 for a couple more years. I say that because some maybe weren't quite ready for the 450 or maybe just Ride the 250 really good and could have been a championship contender on the 250. Rather than move up to the 450 only to not be in the Hunt for a championship.
I can think of a few people that would be good examples.
But How about Aaron Plessinger for example. Would it have been a good thing for him Right after he won both 250 championships to go race MXGP in Europe that next year.
Like I said Just a thought.

AP didn’t point out, he was still eligible for another year, but when a 450 contract presents itself....why wouldn’t you?

Good point with him still being eligible when he moved up. I guess I thought if him because there was talk of him leaving MX/SX and going back to Gncc.

Haven't a lot of guys came over well before they aged out of the MX2 class?

I'm more curious which riders came over after aging out and wanted to stay on a 250?

Dylan would be the only one I can think of off the top of my head that would have been close to aging out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can point out of AMA Pro MX. Only Supercross.

So it makes no sense to point out of Supercross in the USA and go to MXGP to ride Motocross.
