Yah, he got 2nd outdoors on that KTM, and now? He's sitting in the same spot.

So how did the KTM set him back exactly?

This is what Tony said, Mike had to learn how to ride the KTM becouse it just wouldnt do the things his Hondas would do, and they just wouldnt develop the bike the way they had promised. Once Larry quit as manager it was like riding a year old bike becouse nothing got done. That was Tonys words not mine.

I believe that if they had stayed with Honda and not gone with the money Ivan Tedesco is one championship lite.

Otherwise, his results speak for themselves.

I think RV had a foot up going with the Pro Circuit Team to start with but also going with his trainer had to help get him movng on up. The Alessi Team was used to Sportsman racing and didn't have much assistance going to the BIG SHOW also.

Mike, was expected to win from the start and his family hyped it up that much, then he started to get beat and they look for stuff and people to blame, so what's easier to blame than the bike.
I remember when he signed for Suzuki, and the buzz was that he would be killing everyone and this was his savior, what happened, same results.
If the KTM is not as good, why is there 4 of them sitting in the top 6 in the GP's just now??

KTM boy, I can't believe you are still such a 'tard... You can't get over the fact that MA "might" be running something in his hydropack other than water and now you have to have quotes on something so you believe it...


And if KTM's weren't inferior to the other MX'rs out there, wouldn't they have won more than a race or two in the states? I mean, I'm just letting the results speak for themselves.

I was looking through some pics of some amateur races between Mike and RV and at every amateur race that I went to Mike always kicked RV's ass. Mike was the next "phenom" coming up. Now RV hits the pros, and he hands Mike an ass whoopin in the lites class. So what changed to make Mike and RV switch roles?

Tony, is right there to over see everything regarding Mike, and the bike.
