PulpMX Show

Shout out Mitch Payton. Thank you for doing what you're doing, getting Levi over there.

Kawasaki was willing to go with Garrett Marchbanks, but they had some meetings and between SMX testing, building two bikes for the des Nations, it was just too late of an ask…

Star Racing wanted some money. Deegan apparently wanted some money. Team USA doesn't have any money.

Devin didn't steal my ride. I think he had it way before I did.

That's called stirring the pot. It was just funny that he was over there and I was making a joke that he only went over there to hang out with Tom and…

Someone said he's going there to ride a Kawasaki. And I'm like, what in the hell are you people thinking?

Star, between Davies and Pierce Brown, outside of those two, they're going to have a really young team next year. It's a big reset for them.

No, that'll be '27 full-time. So that'll be the end of his SMX Next run will be those two.

The Coenens, it's official. Daniel, I'm a little surprised at how early it was that they dropped this news. We all knew they were coming.

Cooper Webb on a Husqvarna, and Levi Kitchen going for Team USA. So Coop's going on a Husqvarna yet again.

Thank you to Lars and Honda and everybody for doing your part and putting Chance on a 450.

That dude is so awesome for just his willingness to be a racer, especially when outdoors are all done for him now, right? Like he's ending this chapter.

Breaking news, that sound you hear is Justin Hill. Team Tedder, Justin Hill, he is coming out. Justin Hill will be at Ironman to hopefully fend off Mitchell Harrison for the last…

Other news, Shane McElrath Beta. We've talked about it on this show, but it's official. He's going to start at SMX. Benny Bloss announced it too. Two-year deal for these guys.

Benny Bloss announced it too. Two-year deal for these guys.

Now we expect Eric Kelly to be a 250 guy over there and then they got one more spot for 250.

I've heard maybe that if he wins, I think it's a moto, that he gets re-signed.

Mosiman would be a good second guy at Beta. We're talking about they're going to hire one more guy, right?

Daniel will tell you, like, I was on a tryout deal, so, you know, to get the full deal for me...

Yoder's West. I mean, barring anything weird, he would be West. He's an A1 killer.

I hear that you're on a short list. Maybe to ride a 450.

R.J. already ruled himself out. Garrett's not going to go because Kawasaki doesn't support the event.

obviously the Coenens are locked down at KTM. Eli's coming back. Jorge is now there for multi-year

tomorrow, Monday, there will be a meeting about Marchbanks. I think they end up going with Garrett. And Kawi's back in and then Levi's in.

Now, is Landon Gibson staying as an amateur? I think he is. Triumph and I think he's going to do SMX next for Supercross and then... Pro is outdoors.

Motocross of Nations, Deegan, J Cooper and Kitchen. I tweeted this out earlier. Something new for Team USA is Star is asking for 25K a bike.

I think the Yamaha guys are going to end up being out. Deegan is making sure to say no, no, no, don't say I'm out yet. But I think that's going to…

Well, they're all back next year.

I think R.J. would have done the deal if they did outdoors, but they're not doing outdoors... Well, he was about to sign with a team that only does Supercross.

2-1 for Chance. So, good job for Honda, for him, all of that. I think he's getting a new deal there. It's just not announced yet.

Same time, I'll check in with the Lawrence contract as well.

Benny Bloss new two-year deal for Benny. / Multi-year deal for Benny, but still good to hear.

some interesting stuff going on with team Tedder by the way for next year. So, uh stay tuned.

This was a guy last year who told me he was worried the better he did, the more it would make good riders think the beta is okay and he was actually…

85 for Mikkel in his uh second last round of the nationals before he heads back to Europe.

Plessinger did say he would do it actually, even though he's switching teams.

He said he's got a loose program. He's full privateer. They're driving around, him and his buddies... Brought some parts over from Craig Dack Racing.

Ryder Malinowski turned pro as well for the club guys. 19-22 for him.

So, we need another rider. I heard Chance's name being thrown around. He was picked, remember? and he tore up his knee. He wants to go and would want to go.

AMA came to them and said, 'What about Seth or Levi?' And both riders are like, 'We want to go.' So Mitch said, I told those guys I would take them, either…

He's turning pro this weekend and he is ready.

MX6 Kawi. Enzo Temmerman I think will end up there.

Derek Kelly is gonna go to Beta 250s.

Thrasher is going to Pro Circuit.

I heard Cochran to Star... I think it's pretty close to done if not already done.

the International Supercross race team have picked them up when they lost Tandal to Kawi

It didn't work for Fineis there at the end. So it's a very similar story where Mark's probably better off and doing better by himself.

you know, Nate Thrasher is leaving Star, like that happens

Simonson's done with outdoors. You guys pulled the plug on that. He wanted to focus on WSX.

in our discussions with RJ Hampshire, when we were going down that road a little bit and thinking about a 450 guy... didn't end up happening

Then we get Max and Max shows up and it was the same idea... And Max said, 'Never mind. I want to be there.'

PRMX guys. Speaking of Yamaha, they're switching to Yamaha next year.

also Colin Park is going there.

Out. I don't know about Henry Miller yet.

McRath will start with Beta I believe at SMX.

And then Oldenburg will move to Phoenix Honda on a 250.

Jalek Swoll will be 250s at Phoenix.

And Romano stays. Romano stays, I hear.

Phoenix should be Aidan Keefer. I think they're going to keep him for SMX next.

Avery Long. Yeah, Phoenix. Yeah, Long will be at Phoenix.

So Towers is out.

I think Evan Ferry will be out.

And Pierce is going to stay. Pierce will stay.

Wood stays amateur.

Mosiman would be the weird one there. I don't know where Mosiman ends up. I've always thought of him going to Quadlock at some point

Quadlock will be Connelly full-time with McCadoo

and then I think Craig and Joey are staying Quadlock

they're going to keep Harrison Jack Chambers I would think would stay because they literally ride at his house

I think they had a couple bigger guys they wanted to land that's not going to work. So, I don't know how much he's going to pivot and try to get a…

they got all that budget after now Cade's gone. All Cade's budget and all that big salary to play with.

Barra's still out there floating around. I think he still ends up at H. I really do... Barra looks for a ride, right? Supercross only.

I think he's going to do World and Australia... I think he's going to wildcard.

I think the team ideally would be Febvre, Valain, Vialle, but they're just waiting to see how that's going to work out.

What do we think of Chase testing over there at Star this week?

Obviously, the big news dropped yesterday about your contract extension and for you, apart from a gamble last year, you've spent your entire professional career with either KTM or GasGas

Jorge Prado signed a new deal. Two years with a third option... two years agreement with KTM through 28, third-year option available.

Lux Turner also continues with the BarX program which sounds like they will be switching to Husqvarnas next year

it's very obvious that PRMX is going to be going to Yamaha next year. Sounds like the support there is going to be pretty good for them.

Spain is going to be great. Prado, Fernandez, not announced yet, but Prado's told me that's it.

why isn't Langenfelder going? He's having eye surgery.

He was talking to PC. I don't know if Star had interest at a point maybe

Carson Mumford is proving that AEO KTM is a solid program as well to continue your career with. He signed an extension with them as well.

Also sounds like Cullin Park is going to MX6 as well

And Gibson of Triumph, I guess. Yeah, I heard that, too. But I'm still not hearing that that's done either

is Gordon gonna stay? Gordon will stay. Yeah, I heard that all of the kids re-signed, including Carson Wood. I don't know about that.

to Phoenix Honda, that's another thing, too.

Kawasaki's adding a third bike. I think they're going to try and see if Levi wants to move up

Macario to Beta as everyone knows.

Ferrandis needs to make a decision which I think will impact what Barcia does... He told me at Washougal that he has to make a decision for next year... I need to…

Barcia is a bigger question mark as to where he'll go... Say he does choose to retire, then do you think that absolutely locks Barcia in staying there... I would think he…

he's staying at Quadlock. I think there was still a little bit of smoke with the HEP rumors, but I don't think that's happening anymore

AP to Triumph was a big shakeup too... the Coenens are coming so he couldn't stay at KTM so where's he going to go? Okay, Triumph.

We know the Lawrences are stuck.

we knew Tomac was either going to retire or stay at KTM. We knew Prado was going to stay at KTM... we kind of knew Justin Cooper would go back.

We got AP coming back this weekend. Zach Osborne is racing Unadilla, so we'll get into that.

I wasn't sure about the Malcolm Kawi for MX move. I heard a lot that maybe it was a Supercross only deal, but I have confirmed it is motocross also.

Is this a three-man team and that's what Kawi's going for next year? Marchbanks, Sexton, Malcolm — or is this a signal that Sexton will be leaving and they'll go with two…

I've also heard these rumors out there about maybe if Kitchen were to have a good Supercross next year, they would move him up for the summer. That puts that rumor to…

I thought for sure he would go to Pipes. Supercross only, World Supercross. That to me was like the easiest puzzle to piece together ever. And then it didn't happen.

I think Bam rode the bike. Not sure, but I think. And he wants that ride and it would work well. So maybe we think the 51 goes over there.
