MotoAmerica | Silly Season | 2025

So what's the skinny on Jake Gagne?

Did he have another surgery? Is he good to go?

 

Based on his comments in the Fonger presser (below), I'm hopeful he's ready to fight up front again.

Jake Gagne – Attack Performance Progressive Yamaha Racing #32
“I’m really excited to get back racing in 2025! After a rough 2024, I’m lucky to work with such an awesome team. We’re going to work hard and get back in the fight.”

 

Got mine yesterday. Thanks for the tip! I doubt I'll do anything with anything I might learn but it's already a cool read. "Look, math" I told my aspiring engineer.

 

Bump this back to the top. Any new announcements or has everyone secured their spot(s)?

 

Checking here everyday!

 

Paasch posted some pics of him on the M4 SB at the end of the year, saying he's 'excited for 2025'. Hope that means something good.

He doesn't have a Daytona ride.

 

He has posted a tonne of M4 shots on Insta. Hope that is a good sign. I think I read he is sorted for Daytona.

If the bolded rides materialize with some quality riders it could be quite a barn burner this year. I read Arrango will probably be stock. ADR needs a new sponsor. In my dreams we would see Lander's get the break he and the series need and get on something good here. Along with Herfoss and perhaps Fores. Even better Rahal bumps up PJ! Dream big.

What is the latest on Rocco L?

 

ADR said he was done at the end of last season.

 

According to Facetube Paasch doesnt have a ride for Daytona. Hoping he gets to try on a different brand as of 1 day ago.

 

done racing? or done with ADR Team?
understand either way, he has gone above and beyond in both

 

The team finishes 3rd over all in the series as an independent. But can not find sponsorship to run again? A two time Daytona winner has no ride? And arguably the most promising up and comer in the MA universe looks likely to once again, if lucky, race a junior class he's dominated for years and maybe a 12,157 lb bike instead of being rewarded for multiple championships?. Sometimes it is hard to be a fan of MA. I love an underdog but come on!? Let's hope these and other things get worked out.

 

MA is the underdog...

 

I'm buying a lottery ticket tonight so I can sponsor an MA rider or two.

It's everywhere, not just MotoAmerica. No one is spending any money on anything outside of maximizing what they've already invested in.

Some of these things are not the fault of motoamerica

 

Scheibe was rumored to originally run a Honda last season until it fell though. Hopefully they can get something better this season cause that old BMW isn't cutting it.

Same with Thrashed. Would like to see them in something newer like last season's ADR bike. Or even see them drop a class to stk1000.

 

Didn't scheibe get a 2024 s1k last year? I thought there was something about it but they ran ol reliable all season.

 

If they purchased one, I never saw it. They had their old/current bike for sale for the entirety of last off season but ended up running it.
I'm speculating there were some Yates/Jones Honda/Scheibe plans that never materialized.

 

I haven't found anything stating as such. Inside information?

Was thinking/hoping CamP was gonna end up there.
