Yamaha would be stupid to let Jcoop get away. Put him on the 450 team.

Ugh, Jmart to club seems like a huge demotion. Guess lack of SX success will do that

JMart seems to do the same deal as Tomac and wants to do his own thing and train when and where he wants. Sounds like ClubMX is offering him that and maybe Star wont give him the Tomac treatment.

Good stuff. Thanks for that. A bit shocked about JMart but it makes sense. Still a good bike and gives him some flexibility and a potential 450 bike.

If Jordon smith is to star would be good to see him leave mtf. Seems like hes too comfortable there and a change of trainers and programs good do him good.

Wonder where colt will go? Gas gas? 3rd spot at ktm?

Man Robertson and Smith must be for CHEAP. Don’t get me wrong, Jordan has all the tools to win. But we all know he has struggled with injuries and crashes.

JMart to Club seems more interesting to me than anything. Possible equipment upgrade like suspension and maybe Yamaha providing more support next year due to resent success. Obviously he has insight on the team and structure.

Nichols to MCR? Hasn't done much outdoors but might fill in well for SX and global SX

Smith and Leblanc are real head scratchers (unless Leblanc is already under an amateur to pro contract)

How is lablanc doing am wise? I don’t follow all that closely

I think Leblanc is fast but has the injury bug. But I believe he did pretty well at the spring nationals in Texas.

How much support does ClubMX get from the factory?
Would love to see JMart on a factory 450!

All 250 teams have lean years. My guess is Star wins some races next year but not a title. But who knows, Jordan could surprise if he takes the seat. That’s probably the only potential championship contender out of that bunch and that’s still a stretch based on reliability.

I’m more interested in how Colt, Justin, and CC do next year on 450s. To be graduating 3 former regional champs in the same year is an accomplishment for Star to be proud of.

would think Jordan Smith getting another shot at a major team would be a bit of a shock,

would love to see Robbie Wageman given that shot,

Went from the best team to a team I don't see having a single championship contender, barely even race-winner potential.

Club is already using the same Enzo KYB Air set-up that he would've been using at Star.

Seems crazy star are losing their 250f big hitters that have brought them numerous titles.

I think he will probably do a year of Amature A class and then maybe hit the outdoors after Loretta's next year.

A video that was posted not long ago mentioned him racing his first pro race at red bud.

Vegas odds have Dangerboy shoving a cop the night before Redbud.
