Round 3 coming up. San Diego.

There will be some different paint schemes this weekend.  Once a year they run a military
appreciation round, and this is the one.   Justin Barcia, top rider for GasGas, current points leader, runs the red plate this round.  Rumors still float around, of Triumph entering the dirt bike scene.  It's out there they will have a full, in house, factory Supercross and MotoCross team for the 2023 season.  Sightings have been reported at a few small Motocross tracks in the UK, the factory testing the prototype, but as of yet, not one picture has slipped out.  Electric water pumps are making their way into the coolant systems on some of the 450s this year.  Supposedly, less drag on the motor, with the ability to be controlled electronically, for optimum performance, ups the tech on the bikes yet a bit more.

Small company GasGas, with the renagade Barcia on it, leads the big 4 factories.

Ain't that cool!
