Prolly gonna have to wait til the October 1st “free agency opens” before we see a full list. Gives teams time to anounce their 19 line ups and announce whos debuting.

I'm pretty sure that the Supermini and All-Stars classes are invite only.

I think most if not all of them earn their invite at Loretta Lynn's.

Plessinger said he was gonna be riding the 450 with only limited time on it. Now whether or not that changes i guess time will tell. His main focus was Des Nations so he didnt wanna get off rhythm riding the 450 before that. But stated he would ride it some.

Why in the hell can't Herlings stick around for an extra week??!!? He's already stateside and will have adapted to the time change, the track isn't full-on SX and he wouldn't have to deal with whoops, really no expectations and he would definitely gain even more fans in the US. Tie in the hard/slick sections and higher speeds in some parts and I think he would acclimate pretty quickly.

Cheers mav.

I think Haiden deegan does ride 85’s but I guess he decided not to ride or didn’t get an invite.

The same reason no Americans will ride gp's with a week off on the summer. They are not contracted to ride across the pond.

Like dl117 mentioned above, Haiden doesn't race the supermini yet. No worries, plenty of other fast kids lining up. Always love watching that class.

To be fair not many ride a mod 85 in the supermini class. Most top guys ride a 105-112cc. Very competitive class.

Really not the same at all. Their series is over and done. He rode Ironman last year, which was an extracurricular for him as well.

Gajser tried and broke himself off.

Last years track may not have had whoops, but the rhythms were still pretty supercrossy. If im Herlings i dont care about racing in a discipline that im not familiar with, and not paid to do in a race that i wont be winning in the hope of impressing people that dont particularly care about me.

I'm a fan of Herlings in motocross, that's what he does and what he knows.

Skip to 2:20. That was two yeara ago and he was doing just fine....not exactly a fish out of water. He'd only be better now.

You're right he was doing fine. But i dont think that track is anywhere near comparable to the MEC track in recent years, let alone an actual supercross track. Sand rollers, third gear straights, sandy berms and doubles with forgiving easy landings, basically Herlings bread and butter. It's not exactly peaky do or die rhythm sections.

You're right, he has the talent to ride MEC, but he'll be a week out of the MXDN, without the benefit of any SX settings/experience to fall back on like his american counterparts. Not to mention he's sponsored by Red Bull, how willing would they be to risk likely their highest paid MX rider in a Monster branded off season supercross event a week after his season has ended?
