Speaking of Izzi, anyone listen to the Pulpmx show on Monday night? and the rumors Matthes said that were going around?
No, but can you repeat them here?

Speed was good, maybe he needs to work on endurance.

Another pretty cool thing he did was when he was 17, my older brother and my dad took him to Reno and he got our last name "Stewart" and the date they adopted him tattooed across his back.

I should have said: Izzi's bike is still slower than the PC bikes, and his suspension is shit, so who cares?

I guess all the privateers he finishes in front of have the right to be mad.

Where did this speculation come from? Do they just assume any privateer who can keep up with the PC bikes has a cheater bike?

btw guys, i got the first letter from my little brother down in San Diego at the Marines bootcamp, he said it is TOUGH! Really really proud of him, he graduated from highschool on a friday, and that Sunday shipped out to start bootcamp at 5am that Monday morning. So proud of him and what he has been through his whole life. Turning out to be a great kid!
Tell him good luck and I appreciate his service to our country. Being raised by a Marine D.I. I know what he's in for. I'm glad he went to San Diego instead of Parris Island, he will be too!!!

exactly...don't get me wrong, I'm sure his set up is pretty killer...but compared to the big rig teams???

I don't know but i think it's kind of lame to say he's cheating because he consistently get's good starts....that was the claim by the way...he's always up there off the start so they must be doing something questionable

What could a team do for someone to say that, or even make that accusation? Motor...how? suspension....how? frame....how? ...the motor is the only thing I could think of that would make a noticeable difference on starts anyway. He's up there but it's not like he gets the hole shot every moto

I think after how many holeshots the ktm 350s have been getting in the GPs and even here in supercross, it's pretty dumb to make an accusation like that based only on starts. Or remember when Villo holeshot both MXDN motos against 450s? Where they cheating when that happened?

You should be proud Scottie!! The Marine Corps bootcamp is hard because its something totally new to everyone but after he graduates boot depending on what his MOS is (job) he will look back on bootcamp and laugh at how easy it was. I was in the Infantry scout sniper plt (STA) and boot was 3 months in paradise compared to what we did lol Good luck to him

Agreed. But I don't know how killer his set up is. I have a Yamaha 250f with an eleven10 mods engine and carb and enzo suspension (ironically, with the same setting Izzi ran while he was on a yamaha), and I don't know if I would trade bikes with Izzi. The bottom line is someone should give him a decent ride. Rockstar suzuki should just take him and DD and call it a day.

Hey guys, this is not the thread to argue the whole rumor Izzi deal, lets stick to bench racing about what is going on at the race, just dont want to see this thread turn into the usual Vital back and forth blah blah blah.

One thread a week is all i ask Cool

They would make a cool addition to the Two-Two MS team. Izzy is on the right track, now he just needs to finish out the whole season strong and not get injured. I think he is finally riding at or close to his potential, which many people knew about, but he needs to show he can put a whole season together without wadding up to get some serious consideration for next year.
