Bobryshev and Searle - AMA Nationals?

 

It is a great time in the winter when many contacts end, and others start. All the news of Thomas Covington coming back, there is also the talk from a couple of GP veterans to try and give some rounds of the AMA Nationals a shot in 2020. Evgeny Bobryshev and Tommy Searle have both mentioned possibly doing a round or two in USA next year.

In our exclusive interviews with the two riders they are clear they want to experience something different in the twighlight of their careers. Bobryshev who will race just the European rounds of the MXGP and the British championship for PAR Homes RFX Racing Husqvarna team, will need to look at the calendars of those series to fit in an AMA round.

“The discussion at the moment,” Bobryshev told MXLarge. “Is to maybe miss the overseas GPs and maybe do some rounds of the AMA Nationals in the US. With this team. I mean, for sure I do British and the European GPs and the overseas, we are still talking about that, but we might do Outdoors instead. I would like to do this, it is something new and I haven’t raced in America, only some GP. I races on 85cc races in America for a few months when I was really young.”

Buildbase Honda rider Tommy Searle will race the UK series and also mentioned to us last month that he wouldn’t mind trying to return to America for a round of the AMA Nationals.

“I chose to go to America (earlier in his career)," Searle told MXlarge. "And I did enjoy my time there and I wouldn’t change that. As an 18-year-old kid living in America and that was the dream at the time. I want to race a couple of Grand Prix’s in 2020 and also maybe a round of the AMA Nationals next year.”

With Tim Gajser also mentioning how much he would love to race in America, there is no doubt the GP riders see the current trend of GP domination as a good chance to head to the AMA series and try their luck against the best in USA.
