Silly Season Has Begun For 2022 SX & MX | SML News Break
We’re nearing the end of the 2021 Monster Energy Supercross Series, which means it’s time for riders and teams to start discussing potential contracts for future race seasons.
This will be an interesting silly season in more ways than one, as a handful of riders are coming to the end of their current contracts. Multi-time champions like Eli Tomac, Jason Anderson, and Marvin Musquin are the most notable, as these guys are all looking for what might be the last deals of their professional careers. Will they want to continue for another three or five years, or should we expect a farewell tour in 2022?
In addition to this, teams are paying attention to the free agents with a handful of exceptional finishes to their record, which means guys like Aaron Plessinger and Malcolm Stewart could be due for a new deal.
We’ve talked to our sources in the pits over the last few weeks, and while the dealings are far from complete, there are plenty of things in the works.
