New Homes for Anstie, Smith, Brown, Robertson, and More | 250 Silly Season - Big Changes 12

There's a LOT going on in the 250 class ahead of 2025...

 

Click the video above

The 2025 250 class transfer market, or Silly Season, has been a topic of discussion within our staff as we've awaited news and rumors. Over half of the factory-level riders in this class didn't have contracts that extended beyond 2024, meaning there was the possibility of some interesting or even aggressive moves by riders and teams alike. The past few weeks have been quiet but suddenly a handful of deals were handled and locked in over the past two-to-three weeks, with another chunk being close to done or in-process as we speak. With this, it's finally time to dive in and talk about what is confirmed, who's going where, what could happen, and what we think will happen.  Dive in, listen, learn, then give us your feedback. Shock, surprise, makes sense? Let us know, this is the best time of the year!
