Hopefully. Would love to see him over here full time. And if he came over with factory honda, thatd make them run a 3 man team, which i think all factory 450 teams should do

He originally intended to be here for 2017. If he wins the title again, I imagine he will be given the chance. If he gets beat down by Herlings or Cairoli, Honda will likely want to keep him there.

Yup. Sounds like he's really excited about coming here for the long term too

Would be a shame to loose gajser. Interesting at the same time to see how he fares against the big hitters from over the pond. I can't help but think it's a step down though, especially how stacked the GP's are now. Don't get me wrong I don't think he would dominate, but he would do some serious damage in not much time. Lifestyle is 100x better though in the US i imagine.

Have I just opened a can of worms?

Not at all. There have never been disagreements about GP's vs. AMA moto. Everyone gets along and arrive at a mutual agreement quickly, and without fanfare. 1 page, at best.

Kenny came to America, and almost instantly "got it". He adjusted quickly to the American style of racing, being ultra aggressive and 100% on the gas from beginning to end...whereas Euro GP-style is more blitz-cruise-blitz with riders conserving energy for a push for the finish in the last few laps of a race. I don't believe Gajser can adapt as fast.

Yeah, Kenny did do an exceptional job of adapting really quick. I was just confused as your comment is based in the present, about the unknown future.

I totally agree, and it's based on my opinion only. I'm all for good racing though, so I hope I'm wrong & Tim comes over and kicks butt! Smile

Hahahaha, I thought the same thing. If there's a knock on Gajser, it's that he charges like a bat out of hell, even when he doesn't need to. How many times have you seem him crash out of a decent lead?

Agreed, Gajser just kicked everyone's ass all year round and you "don't think he'd adapt" ?

I will be very surprised it Gajser don't win the championship again.

Also he will adapt to the us even better than Roczen IMO. It took Roczen several years to win a championship, gajser could do it year 1.

With that being said, either he has been taking it easy in these Italian championship races or they don't have that new bike figured out yet. I hope it's the take it easy approach, cause he seems off.

He'd be lucky to win a LCQ seeing how stacked the states are. No disrespect of course, we're just really stacked right now...

Year 1?? What kind of foreign weed are you smoking? Lol. Cmon man, not to take anything away from gajser but I don't see him getting a win at all in year 1 if he comes here. Roczen, Dungey, Anderson, Webb, Reed, Tomac. Dudes who have ridden and raced US tracks year in and year out. Gajser getting a win is a long shot.

Good, I agree, which is another reason to get rid of supercross. Is rather have the best racers in our series instead ofbeing able to sit in stadium seat. Make it all outdoors and we would have all the best riders here

I think you guys forget Roczen spent several years racing a 250? If you dont think Gajser can come here and be immediately competitive in SX and MX on a 250, you're crazy! If he rides big bikes right away (which would be stupid, especially in SX), he will take a minute to adjust, but will be fine. Remember, you can work with speed, and he has that in droves!

I hope he does, the more top GP riders we get the better the racing is here in the US. Cool I would like to see more of them come over.

This is such a old fashion way of looking at the GPs. You have clearly not watched Gajser or all these younger guys ride regularly. They are wild on the bikes from lap one, i would say that Gajsers biggest weakness at the moment is the fact that he goes balls out 99% of the time.

He will go straight to 450.

Roczen was struggling with heat in the first two years. Pourcel was an Euro that instantly got it.

When and if Gajser makes a move to US to race, I'm sure he will be battling for top 3 right off the bat (in the nationals).

That being said, I hope he doesn't make a move for 2 reasons:
1. Real SX track would probably leave him with broken bones, as he hits the ground quite often and SX has proven to be less forgiving in that, than outdoor tracks. Unless he takes his time to adapt to SX, baby steps.
2. MXGP will be stacked with him, Cairoli, Febvre and Herlings and fun to watch. FUN!
