Hurt his wrist, but nothing broken. Should line up this weekend.
I would of thought he’s just a bit banged up , no news is normally good news , hopefully he catches a break soon and gets some confidence
Hopefully he can gain some momentum and confidence back, he is really much better than what he has been showing so far... The transition has been hard for sure.
I also wonder if he has the same engine as in the GPs, no trying to make a debate on that but from what I see (I may be blind too) the austrian bikes in 250 in the US look to have less power in a class where it is key. Maybe most of the budget is on the 450 program (which is quite my opinion based on the last decade ; only Osborne was really competitive in 250s... ok let us add Musquin the year he almost won the 250 nationals, but other than that, honestly the Yami and Honda or even the PC were looking a lil better. Quite the opposite compared to the GPs and I can't say why).
Is he really much better or is his previous competition really much weaker?

Considering his previous competion was gerts and Renaux ( who beat Tomac at redbud ) if you watched that , I’d say yes he’s got more in the tank
And there is an age rule in his previous competition. So don't count Justin Cooper, R.J. Hampshire, Jordon Smith, Michael Mosiman, Jeremy Martin... .
Haha!!! What? you can't be serious...his competition is who he lines up against..period
For that matter what happened to Gilermo Farres?
Broken arm
Is there any footage of the crash? I just remember seeing him get up in those big ruts from the drone
250 programs in the US are much more competitive across the board. KTM is throwing updates at their engines quite a bit this year though.
In GPs, the only non-Austrian competitive 250 program is Kemea Yamaha...which is rumored to get handy-me down engines from Star.
In the US, Star is the top dog in terms of engine program and HRC has made huge strides to hop up to a likely second in that regard. Then you have a strong Kawasaki program with PC.
In GPs, Honda 250 programs are barely there and the F&H program doesn't get much investment from Kawasaki.
On top of that, the Yamaha and Kawasaki programs here in the US are huge, each supporting four to six riders at a time.

World championship
None of this is true. Luongo's deal is the pinnacle of motorcycle racing and development. Including MotoGp, Toni Bou's racing class, and WSBK. NOT!!!
MXGP is the pinnacle of motocross, mx2 is the last feeder class.
THE USA based guys go WFO from the gate drop, like every lap is a qualifier lap.
The MX2 riders don't ride like that, their tracks have slower corners and are more technical.
I saw the Teutschenthal track up close for the first time last weekend, It is very different from anything I've seen at home. Im sure it takes a bit of time to get used to riding at a different pace.
That's just not true though, ESPECIALLY in the 250 class....for evidence look no further than the 2 Time World Champ who this thread is about that is barely a podium guy in the US, hell he's got his hands full with a 17 year old that was still on SuperMinis when Vialle won his first World Title
heard this all before with ferrandis , musquin , roczen , pourcel , when will you learn , it’s clear to see he’s not right yet ( not saying he will win when he is ) but I’ll bet he’s in the mix
Pit Row
My pick to win the chip isn’t looking so good right now 😢
Hmm perhaps the next French team with DV and Vialle 🧐
Hi Point is the type of track I could see him getting a win on. It has always seemed to allow the Euro's to shine.
I am sure your referring to him being out performed by the Dangerboy. You must be close, real close to be that obsessed.
WTF did that comment have to do with Danger Boy?

I see reading comprehension is not your strong suit.
i recall GL tipping him to win the 250 outdoor this season!
he was fairly confident....just goes to show the AMA 250 teams are at the pointy end globally!!
per DV's insights.............
That was not the post you quoted
No, I quoted the posters other post so you could better understand his motivations. The post I quoted has undertones of gloating about Danger Deegan (new official name I just gave him) being better than Vialle. The poster also constantly gargles a 17 YO's sac. So much so that the speech impediment it causes transfers over to his keyboard.
Just because you didn't see it don't mean its not happening. Instead you lash out at me. If you can't understand that I got nothing else for you.
His second motos in the first two rounds showed that Vialle is up to the challenge. The bike point can’t be understated. Of the factory teams is it the worst bike out there? Of course I’m not counting any of the Suzuki riders.
Thanks for the info. I was wondering who was doing the Yamaha engines in Europe. For sure reason I thought it was factory Yamaha.
Cosworth still involved with any teams ? I remember they had some pretty innovative stuff a few years ago. Three speed transmissions , super fast bikes.
It’s always fun to debate the ama vs go stuff … I think the biggest difference would be the qualification system. Gp guys get probably triple the time, with a qualification race too.
As far as the ktm , I don’t think it’s holding him back. Yea , the star bikes are good. They don’t look head and shoulders above.
Dude crashed and injured himself last weekend. Prior to that, he went 7.3 and 7,3 the first two rounds.for 2 4th's overall. He said in one of the Vlogs that he improves in the second moto because he doesn't really know the tracks here yet and that he doesn't have a good feel for how the tracks shape up in terms of where the fast lines are throughout the race. He said he's adjusting to it and learning the tracks (specifically how the develop throughout the races). He said he expects to get better and better as he goes along. I'd bet he for sure finishes top 5 on the season and is a title contender next year. JMHO
