Charlie Mullins is racing the same model on the KTM Factory Offroad team and has had a mechanical issue almost every time out.
Are you guys nervous at all about his bike holding up outdoors?
(This isn't meant as a bash at KTM at all, I think what they've accomplished the last few years is pretty damn impressive, but so far when put under stress for a longer amount of time the new model SX hasn't faired so well....)

As a fan of James Stewart, I worried about the overwhelming success Dungey had this year in Supercross on that KTM...
Let the games begin!!!
The Shop
What kind of mechanicals is he having? Same ones over and over, electronics?
But with Roger doing his thing in the background, I'm really not worried.
And NO. Not any more worried than any other brand. The bikes these days have become more complicated and that adds more variables that are harder to control.
Pit Row
As far as the engine... well it never seems like coaxing power out of a 450 is a problem if it doesn't have enough.
But I think that's what will make this year really interesting -- Dungey and RD having to work through the new bike as well as Stewart coming in on a proven but new-to-him bike. Bet we will see a lot of refinements over the course of the series.
Honestly, RV and Reed on the machines that they knew so well from last year probably could have cleaned up the first few rounds (at least) because they would have been able to hit the ground at 100 percent.
I'd have to believe Roger has the bike under tight control, and more than ready for action.
The best thing that can happen for the fans is to have Ryan and James on top of their game, both bikes working great, and bar banging battles every week.
Can't wait.

It's been 2 weeks and I'm already getting around without the walking cast, just in time for Hangtown next week. I'll be riding again in another 2 and don't plan on changing that avatar anytime soon...
