Where will Justin Cooper and Eli Tomac land for 2025? Who already has a deal? What about 250 teams? Will Troy Lee Designs still run the GasGas effort in the future or will GasGas and Husqvarna become more integrated into each other as co-factory teams? We run you through the info we know, right here.

Agree with an earlier comment T.L.D Ducati might be a fruitful partnership.

prado on a kawi is sick.

[@angelsantana2184]

Roczen at Club MX would be cool to see. Just not sure if sponsors would conflict

[@cropolo2573]

Man if KTM group lets Farres go they're dumb as hell... 8-5-6-8 outdoors last year before someone ran into him and broke his arm. Then starts his SX career with 2 top 10s before getting hurt because the bike broke in the whoops. Are they gonna drop him because he got hurt because their bike broke? wow

[@abuskiZSRR]

I do agree Farres is a great prospect with an insane potential, but he is not well treated by Husq, and apparently the kid is all alone in the US, must be hard on every aspect.

[@backyardbouchard1180]

Why is everything called SILLY SEASON like who the Fu** thought that was a good idea,aint nothing silly about these guys careers!!!

[@6VIERTE9]

Yikes. Prado to kawi. Moving to usa is one thing but swapping bikes too idk about that.

[@derekchauvin1880]

I think coming from a works ktm (he’s riding the redbull ktm bike with gas gas cosmetics in GPs) to a production Gas Gas was equally as difficult of a switch.

[@Slayeranon]

The green bikes are fast Prado will be fine

[@Steve-vt1oo]

I think Craig should be on a and b-team Honda or Yamaha next year?

[@JordanEmede_376]

Are you saying a B team or what? He's been on both factory teams previously and his results don't warrant either right now. If you mean like a Phoenix Honda or a club Yamaha I would fully agree with you.

[@jdubz22]

Yes, but he got ties with big names in the industry, i think his wife father is a BIG BIG name in pro teams and stuff

[@merccrewlcab2385]

That would be a good mix eh. With Rocsen and Kitchen.

[@KSHOW13]

I think they are coming 2026

[@petersenrodsandhobbies821]

With Ducati coming in 26 it gives them a year to get shop set up with TLD. The two brands are both iconic, and I can't think of a better way to break into US MX.

[@thedonofcod]

HEP more likely , Suzuki deal is through till end of 25, 26 Ducati should be here and should expect roczen to go straight on to it with same team and different bike , would be perfect fit

[@hectorpalle]

He Said tld/tory lee design Will probably close/end as a team

[@jeromejeffrey]

Forkner?

Great video! Will you be at Unadilla or Budd’s Creek?

Is this a question or a statement? I understand that grammar is difficult these days though. These are your 2 options for correcting the comment: Should Firepower Honda join forces with Troy Lee? OR Firepower Honda should join forces with Troy Lee.

@stephenadams5223 you wouldn't have the slightest clue, and even if you were right that would have absolutely nothing to do with Troy Lee becoming Ducati. I would venture to guess beta probably already talked to Troy Lee the first time through as these rumors have popped up for the last 3 years about Pierre mobility downsizing etc. You a trials guy or a trails guy? Beta is a fitting name for a beta bike 🤣

No idea how Anderson even could be coming back in 2025 they need to bring riders that can win at kawi they spend so much money on people who won’t win

[@zacharykasprzyk3671]

I agree Ando is on the back side of his career now but I think it’s mostly because he already had a contract for next year lined up and it’s not cheap. Whatever they are paying Prado next season plus buying out Ando on top of hiring another rider is probably not in the budget. If all the rumors are true and they are going after Deegan the following year likely just biding their time until he is ready to move up.

[@HairyBowls]

What about Chiz

[@paulwood7798]

Love ET3 but when he said he was instead of retiring going to continue It was inevitable he would end up injured but some riders really baffle me how they keep getting top line contracts looking elsewhere.

Justin coop can expect more money,once he actually wins yamaha a premiere title,so far he's lack luster in supercross starting great in nationals and fading..it's not a great resume for what he wants.

I agree, but if star Yamaha is willing to keep paying him for lackluster performance, it’s kind of on star Yamaha

@redryder1146 for sure,but he wants money webb and tomac are getting,they have 450 titles he only has 1 250 west title.im sure star knows he really doesn't have many options, so they don't have to pay him top tier.
