Vital MX Show

Lucas was like, I just can't wait to work with the American team... I said, 'When are you going to go to America and when do you expect to be on Supercross…

Star and the Deegans played it perfectly, using financial problems as the reason they couldn't go

leave it that back with Quad Lock next year as well, which again, we all kind of knew, but because it's Joey, we all didn't really know

from that you can assume that Dylan Ferrandis will continue racing with Ducati next year I think

he will be back with Twisted Tea Suzuki next year. That is confirmed. A lot of people were kind of questioning that over the weekend, but I feel confident about that mainly…

Tomac was such a non-factor this weekend. You can go back to oh yeah he won't be here next year.

We all expect Deegan to get to the top. Perhaps not in year one, but he'll certainly push for pace at points in his rookie season.

Jeffrey Herlings and Kay de Wolf were talking about this as well post race, saying that they hope Glenn could get a factory 250 and ride in the MX2 class at the…

Herlings and De Wolf effectively confirmed that they will be the two 450 riders for the Netherlands

Jeffrey Herlings · Kay de Wolf

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

Barcia would have been top of the list and then I'm not clear still on his contract situation, but Savatgy perhaps second.

Joey Savatgy · Justin Barcia

of course they are going down to two riders next year so it makes sense in that regard

I don't know if he was staying in MX2, which he's of course not.

that might be the number one pursuit for sort of Red Bull KTM North America in 2027, especially for Supercross

based on everyone I spoke to at Iron Man, I think they're just going to run a two-man team of Prado and Lucas Coenen in the Premier Class.

Jorge Prado · Lucas Coenen

I said to Rasmus afterwards, 'He doesn't have a deal for 2028 MXGP, does he?' And Rasmus went, 'No. Do you think I need to get on that?'

If they got Kay de Wolf as the best paid rider in MXGP at the moment, then they might have to get the checkbook out again. Husqvarna and KTM

he said he expects the Dutch MX2 riders to take a step up so he doesn't have to do this

He hasn't renewed his Brazil deal. Doesn't sound like he's going to. He said he's got some testing other opportunities that he'd like to pursue

can you see Glenn having some sort of role there testing or replacement?

you have Herlings and De Wolf locked in

Jeffrey Herlings · Kay de Wolf

He wouldn't confirm it last night, but I did get it out of him in his interview that he is only doing a couple of GPs next year

We did have some full-time GP opportunities... he has to be the right team after his experience with Beta

I like Valentin. He's a good guy and I'm glad he's still racing.

I'm actually going to try and see if I can get him a ride in America for 250 outdoors cuz he doesn't have a lot of good prospects here

Said he is very very stressed because he has no prospects.

he'll be sorely missed on a full-time basis, but we hope it's... I hope it's like good night and not goodbye

the Fantic thing I don't think is 100% dead for MXGP and MX2, but it's like 90% dead. They're trying to find a team... The brand Fantic will only exist in European…

we're expecting the Coenens to be announced as sort of Red Bull KTM riders in SMX

Lucas Coenen · Sacha Coenen

did you hear anything about those rumours that he's not doing the final flyaways with HRC?

Kevin Windham, as rumored and expected, but perhaps earlier than expected, was in Columbus in a Quad Lock Honda team shirt on duty... Kevin Windham is number two

although not done, Barcia is trending towards the Twisted Tea Suzuki seat

Uh I believe MX6... I was a little surprised MX6 signed him only because there was a couple teams talking to him.

I heard MX6 jumped on it, which would put them with a team with Enzo Temmerman, Colon Park, Jett Reynolds, and Henry Miller, I believe.

Enzo Temmerman · Jett Reynolds

Yeah, I've also heard Miller linked with other teams though, so I'm not entirely sure.

I was very proud of Mikkel Haarup. I honestly was nervous for him... because this is a baptism of fire.

when you just look at the landscape of Star having a somewhat mass exodus staff, that's not the only person they got to find a mechanic for.

He's not doing that. He'll finish his career on a Honda. I'm certain of that.

I want to see if he stays with Honda or maybe makes a bit of a radical pivot somewhere else.

I don't think there was any validity to them, but there were some rumours of that as early as like April of this year, that KTM were desperately trying to figure out…

He re-signed with Dixon Racing for 2027, a one-year deal because it will be his last year in MX2.

We will have a Chinese bike on track this weekend with Brian Hsu.

they really did release a statement saying they don't have a factory team because they were concerned about the rumours that they'd signed Chase Sexton online

the team Belgium for the nations is potentially Sasha and Liam. Van Doninck and Geerts were the reserves listed. So it will come from one of those two.

Sacha Coenen · Liam Everts

Camden Mlelen will be in MX2. We know that

fantastic stories as well like Glenn Coldenhoff coming back for his sort of his swan song in MXGP

All of this talk about the last dance and stuff. I kind of feel like we could see Coldenhoff again at one or two races.

we're currently waiting for official approval for contracts to be shuffled and confirmed so Chase Sexton can be announced as a Triumph rider

they're trying to tie up teams to run both the MX2 side and also get a recommitment from Hans Corvers's Kemea to run the 450s

No, they're going to run MXGP. They're going to get another MX2 team, not agreed yet.

McKay's also sort of getting on. There's rumours of retirement or how the whole YRD division could be present in Yamaha's Grand Prix effort

signing new three-year agreement with Louis Vosters, the Wilvo outfit as we like to still call them

if you have a fit De Wolf on the new Husqvarna, you have Vialle in his second year, you have Ferez coming in with his energy on the Triumph

you have Vialle in his second year

Van der Most is perhaps deserving of a fairer shot in MXGP on a full-time basis.

see what they can do in their final three rounds together

Maxime Renaux you could argue maybe has one foot out the door

there was even some discussion at the weekend in the paddock about whether he'll do another year in MX2

perhaps the likes of Lata if he can make a step riding a different bike next year

Roger Harvey... a lynchpin for HRC and Honda, 29 years. I said to him, do you have to come back next year and reach the big 30? And he looked at me…

the big rumour is that Jeremy is actually going to consider retirement... No, I'm joking.

I just think he's going to stay at Van Venrooy so I don't think that it's that pertinent to discuss

Good to see Francisco Garcia... Still very young, going to be Valin's teammate next year

What is your take on the Star publication or sort of open letter notification coming out what today?

I don't think Team USA goes to Assen. I can't even begin to dream how they are going to assemble a team for Assen.

Ben like Rowan and many not doing Turkey, China or Australia. So that's the end of his MXGP season but he will be at the Nations

obviously Max Anstie was previously at Star Racing... now that Max isn't on the team

With this announcement though, this confirms that neither Hayden Deegan nor Justin Cooper will be available to be selected

Haiden Deegan · Justin Cooper

Do you want to talk about Vanderin's New Deal? ... signing with motor blues but it's another kind of high-profile exit from Jucati

Geian Farz is stepping into the MXGP class with Triumph for 2027 and beyond ... it's a three-year deal

It also says Mikl Harup's returning. We know that

maybe Farz could have an option to head back to the US if he does well in 450s

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

I said I was really putting my neck on the line by proclaiming that the Kawi rumors were wrong and I hoped my source was correct and they came through for me

Honda HRC Patronus will go down to two MXGP riders next year, which will be Hurlings and Val. they're under contract

Jeffrey Herlings · Tom Vialle

their methodology ... is to put more support into a B team ... they will have factory parts more than you would imagine

They were talking to Ruben Fernandez for a second spot as well

As far as I understand it, Fernandez will end up at Yamaha now seems most likely

then Vlanderin's tied up. Jonas gets his deal

I'm fairly fairly certain they'll run one MXGP rider

could Kawazaki wave a check in front of Justin Baria or

he seems to be very firmly linked with C with KTM and the Dali side for next year

you assume that Red Bull KTM Factory Racing will keep Andrea Darmmo and Simon Lagenfelder

Andrea Adamo · Simon Laengenfelder

We know that Kaido Wolf is sealed with Neestan

this is a world championship Grand Prix winning team and they've you know Roman Febra's is out
