The 5 time world champ and freshly crowned 104 time GP race winner Jeffrey Herlings had a lot to say regarding the state of safety in the MXGP World Championship, and he’s a little pissed to say the least. Yesterday Herlings spoke with a Dutch media outlet Omroep Brabant (pronounced OOM ROOP Bra bant) which translates to Broadcasting Brabant and he expressed his concerns about safety, citing some pretty sketchy incidents from this year.Some of those incidents being 1: In Portugal the finish line jump was over a tunnel and off the side of the jump there wasn't anything preventing you from falling 30 feet onto the concrete walkway. 2: Henry Jacobi getting dragged off track while knocked out with multiple broken teeth in his mouth. 3: Pauls Jonass breaking his shoulder and the ontrack doctor not scanning it, insisting it was dislocated and trying to put his broken shoulder in place. At the second round of the Canadian MX Triple Crown Series at Lethbridge MX in Alberta, Canada, reigning 450cc Champion Dylan Wright had a scary crash in the second moto. Wright started 1-2 for second overall at the season opener and entered round two tied in points with KTM’s Jess Pettis, who went 2-1 for the overall win at the opener. At the second round, Wright claimed the moto win in the first race of the day then had a scary crash at high speed in the second race while leading. If you haven't seen his crash, here it is from a couple angles. The future of Carson Mumford has been made official after signing with Fire Power Honda, the newfound deal to commence effective immediately and span through the 2025 season. Mumford has transferred across to the Martin Davalos-led organization following a short stint at MCR Honda, and will effectively replace Max Anstie next year when he heads to Star Racing Yamaha – that move to be confirmed. Fire Power Honda has spring-boarded a mixture of riders to success since entering US competition under the ownership of Yarrive Konsky in 2020, with 22-year-old Mumford motivated to make a similar impact on the team’s CRF250R after claiming a best finish of fifth in San Francisco this season. Mumford’s signing also addresses speculation that the team wouldn’t be continuing into next year.
