With the 2026 calendar on the wall flipped to November, we have to wonder if this is the latest in the off-season that a star as big as Chase Sexton has yet to decide who he is racing for in 2027 and beyond. Last week, things pointed towards the Pipes Motorsports Suzuki team, but by mid-week the KTM rumors began to gain steam. Throw in the Quadlock Honda talks, and we were getting dizzy with the “what ifs.” Today, Monday, November 2, we were told by someone in the know that Sexton’s big test on the RM-Z450 will go down tomorrow. Where will the number four land? We’re as anxious to see as anyone…

Presented by 6D HelmetsRyan McCarthy and motocross legend Ryan Hughes teamed up to launch RynoPower in 2010, and as the brand is in its 17th year, we got the businessman behind the brand to join us on this edition of the Midweek Podcast. 

A bit of news dropped recently, including Nate Thrasher's change to the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki, Joey Savatgy's official departure from the Quadlock Honda team, and Chase Sexton's supposed continuation with the Monster Energy Kawasaki team. We covered that and also had a good time just conversating, in this week's Kickstart Podcast, presented by Maxxis.

Presented by MaxxisLast weekend was relatively quiet if you are a motocross fan, but the racing highlights around the globe included Cooper Webb lining up for the Fastcross race in Italy and finishing fourth overall aboard his new Monster Energy/Rocky Mountain ATV/MC/Husqvarna/Team Tedder machine, and Jo Shimoda racing in his home country and turning in a 1-1-1 sweep of the IA1 (450) class at Off-Road Village, just outside of Tokyo, Japan. 

Presented by MaxxisThe 2026 Motocross of Nations went off last weekend in Ernee, France, and Team Belgium earned a very popular win with Sascha and Lucas Coenen, and third-generation racer Liam Everts flying their country's colors. The American squad of Cooper Webb, Levi Kitchen, and Julien Beaumer finished an impressive fifth overall despite some bad luck and an absolute lack of preparation. Thanks to the three patriots who flew the red, white, and blue with pride. We go over the MXoN, plus some of the 2027 changes we learned of, and more!
