Nope...125. And not even a full mod because race bike is at shop.

That was so damn cool! No complaints about the 250 and 450's but this is what moto has been missing for way to long! This needs to be a championship.....time to make it official!
Yes Sir ! The OEM's (Honda mainly) will never allow it though. They've already crammed the 4-strokes down our throats, next will be the E-bikes.

That was a blast to watch! Villo looks like he is true "Vet" form these days. He blazes for a lap or two and then the IPA's kick in Wink Varize had a nice inside line into that freshly groomed roller section that got him to RV's back fender and then his youth and exuberance took over Smile

If RV goes inside in that rollers corner after the finish, he would have won pretty easily IMO. He goes outside every lap and Varize goes inside... at least a full second difference each lap. Awesome race to watch, though.

125's is the perfect introduction into the big league. Make it an official class in 2020. How about it DC.

He was able to see that line after he was passed, he was close enough if that was the only difference he should've won...

and just think there are at least 10(prob 20) more of his peers as fast or faster then Varize. A reminder that although the sport is dying at the grass roots, local level, skill is evolving rapidly at the top of the amateur ranks.

Too funny, but he did say that he was "sweating Coors Light" after three laps.

This is exactly what these races are supposed to be: fun 125cc showcases for riders young and old, without anyone taking it too serious. We have two other classes for much more serious stuff.

Came across this by chance on YouTube last night, couldn't believe what I was seeing. What a race! Villo is a legend and Varize has a very bright future.

Time for 3 classes, 125, 250F and 450F.
125 Pro Am
150 Pro
300 Pro

ForFun you seems in the know. Will Varize be in the Pro Line-up for 2020? Otherwise like I already said, one year of racing EMX250 or maybe two years could give him some extra skills, like Grant Langston told on the broadcast: "Riders who competed in Europe have more corner speed." Cool

Hmm.....well , not to sound like an asshole , but I'm sure glad the GP's don't treat the 125's as " just a fun class ". They actually understand how important it is and treat it as such. There is a reason why the GP guy's seem to get just a tick faster , year after year and it all start's with grooming the youth on the big stage. But what the hell do I know.

Varize was still on Superminis last year. Just moved to 125’s this year. Next year 250B amateurs then move to pro. I also heard that riding EMX250 is an awesome experience and a great training ground.
