Scouting moto combine at ironman

[Mcaupp22]

So I was scrolling through social media and seen ironman had races today for the top amateur prospects and they ran a pro schedule. Makes me wonder are they going to keep doing these races? Are they the new form of amateur nationals? What I also don’t understand is how do you choose who deserves to be there? Sounds like you gotta know someone in the moto scene. Anyone have any information about this new combine racing

I read a rep from each manufacturer was to hand pick 4-5 riders.

Riders finishing in the Top 10 in the Open Pro Sport, 250 Pro Sport, 250 B, 250 B Ltd, & Schoolboy 2 at Loretta Lynn's Amateur National are eligible.

Do you guys think this series will keep going on or a test? Cause every factory is there for the race tomorrow so you know all eyes are watching almost sounds just as important as lorettas

It was an interesting pilot. Gate wasn’t full but it was good to watch.

Is it me or did Ironman look identical to the 2019 version?? did I miss something?

How did Ryder D get to race it? Just because he’s a team green kid and a big name?

Bingo. Manufacture pick. What ever happened to Jett Reynolds?

The same can be asked of Kimble Jett, Chase Prince, Mark Fineis, Judson Wisdom, Trevor Colip, Logan Best, Cam Campbell, Ethan Day, Lucas Geistler, Gavin Brough, and Noah Schuring.
After they (mxsports) failed to get the number of entries that they expected they relaxed the requirements. Otherwise, it would have only been Hymas, Towers, Clough, Bennick, Reyes, and Murphy,

Broken collar bone at LL

 

[Vet261]

Mitchy Z should have been there. I'll bet they did not know about them relaxing the requirements since such a low initial entry. We were wondering the same thing while there about how some of the riders were there that weren't at LL.

It was pretty cool to watch, they were all flying. They did a really good job of interviewing each one of them on the podium after moto 2 and taking a nice group photo.

 

[bruceb]

Mitchy Z should have been there.

Agreed.

how some of the riders were there that weren't at LL.

The only rider that didn't do LL was Noah Schuring. He took the overall in all 4 B classes at the Log Road AQ. Had a practice track crash and broke his arm in a few places so he was unable to do any regionals or LL.

I thought Ryder D missed LL this year due to injury?

 

[John250]

I am 99% sure he did.

That is correct. I was referring to the additional riders that I listed in my post.
