This rock had exactly one bike length in the bottom. Drop on the other side, and absolutely near vertical right off the rip.

I didn't get a phone out . Best I can do. This was after the hill Matt posted. Same was just running down after a big circle up top. On the opposite bank they dropped in the side hill and climbed the side running with the gap instead of up and out. Made for some real mountain goat lanes to stay on top instead of sliding down.

Husqvarna To End In-House SMX Team After 2026 Season, Transition to Supporting Independent Teams

The restructuring of the KTM Group (KTM, GasGas, Husqvarna) after last years financial crisis, which saw the Bajaj Mobility AG take over as controlling owners, continued today.

www.vurbmoto.com

Husqvarna Mobility’s professional motocross and supercross racing program in the United States will enter a new phase at the conclusion of the 2026 SMX World Championship season. From 2027 onward, the brand will transition away from operating an in-house factory racing team and instead, support independent teams and riders with factory level materials and technical expertise for the SMX series. This evolution ensures the brand’s presence in racing at the highest level, while repositioning its focus on the brand’s heritage and wider riding community.

For 2027, Husqvarna Mobility will realign its direction in the North American market, aiming to further differentiate and broadly support Husqvarna’s place within the motorcycle industry – spanning its extensive Motocross, Enduro, Travel, Naked, Supermoto, and Electric model lineup.

Interesting change (but not shocking), I don't think there is anybody really riding a Husky outside the husky team.

He is great and has really proven himself as the dominant force in the current 250 class, but calling himself the "Greatest 250 rider of all time"?

Deegan's 250 career:

Villipoto's 250 career

And yeah, he put that "Greatest 250" qualifier on there, but the real greatest Lite's class racer's record:

I love watching Deegan race, but he is hard to like and listen to. I don't think he will have any trouble at all being right up there in the top 5 in his rookie 450 MX season. I don't really like Jett, so I would love to see Deegan pass him and win.

Yeah, he will almost certainly be a front runner and collect some wins. I like Jett's attitude better than Deegan, but as a general rule I pull for the American over the foreigners, so I guess I hope Webb wins? Or maybe Sexton will get a new brain and make something happen! At least the sport is gonna continue to be exciting for the next decade.

I would imagine some of this is spurred directly from their jump into NASCAR with some new sponsorships there. They’ve signed on for 23XI on Reddicks car and I think they’re doing something with Hocevar at Spire too.

Yeah. Rockstar has jumped in with some pretty hefty sponsorships this year. Rumored to be multi year deals too. So the move away from moto isn’t all that surprising. Only so many marketing dollars to go around.

Matthes today said Rockstar really wasn't paying that much and was getting a hell of a deal on the team sponsorship, but who knows how true that is.

They could have looked at new sponsors too maybe? I'm sure its a combination of a few reasons

What a great final!

Deegan and Davies battling it out.

Kenny finally getting the championship! Hunter also how he handles everything with class.

I'm sad now no more SX for 9 months.

Good news, it’s more like 7 months. Still a long time though.

Time for the Great Outdoors. Jett back (maybe), Deegan on a 450. Should be an awesome summer til people start to weed themselves.

I fell like outdoors is the “real” racing, but SX is easier to watch for some reason. Maybe it’s time of day or length of race.
