DeCoster is brutally honest as usual...and I feel 100 percent correct. Does Ryan still train himself, or does he have a trainer/riding coach yet?

Roger called out Roczen during SX when Roczen quit a qualifier to save his energy for the LCQ.

Roger said something like "Save yourself? Its only a few laps"

He tolerates no bullshit as far as I can see.

And he does his riders no favors by coddling them.

I'd say the tone of communication could be a bit nicer here.. I'm no team manager myself but I'd guess a general teamspirit without fingerpointing would be a bit more professional.

Roger just did the best thing he could have ever done for Dungey by stripping away the excuses.

I'm calling it right now - Dungey will be a different rider next year. Stamp it! (my first "stamp it" ever - so proud)

Exactly. I think Roger knows a little bit about what it takes to win.

Thanks for your kind words regarding the interview. I'm just a young aspiring MX journalist - this is huge for me!

My guess is KTM is major butthurt from loosing 2 outdoortitles. They bought the best 2 riders available for money (or so they thought)), and didnt get what they bargained for. Decoster is probably the one taking alot of the blame.

The RD's are both favorites of mine. I hope we hear the other side of the story.

Well... there's nothing inherently wrong with the motorcycle (in design terms) because it's been proven time and time again to be very good. But I can well believe that Ryan struggled to find a comfortable set-up - not sure why Roger is arguing that. This track was probably utterly different to anything he's ever ridden before, and though Eli didn't look to struggle at all (Barcia a little perhaps) ultimately individuals vary. Running Roczen's set-up will never work as well unless you're Ken Roczen, besides he's on a 250. Still that's part of it I guess; being able to get to grips with new conditions quickly. I can see both sides here.

Pretty sure he was talking about Roczen's set up from last year on the 450....they probably used that as a base.

He's right.
It was just MX racing, great stuff as far as I was concerned. Had a great afternoon watching that, roll on next year (When USA will probably win again!! Braaaap!)

My kid came 12 th in an AMA moto, I said to Rodger" but his scphoid is broken and it hurts" his reply" his the professional, thats not our problem, he should be fit" he was so right. I was dumb to send a kid to the USA all alone. The team is not there mum.

Oh it was awesome, a great event and a well earned win for Belgium. But it's the second year in a row Dunge has underperformed, not only of what was expected of him as team leader but IMO of what he's capable of as one of the very best riders in the world. And Roger probably is correct about where the problem lies.

even though I thought ryan didn't ride all that well how can roger say it wasn't the bike. all these guys are different and like different stuff. kind of funny they liked to dismiss the bike right away as the problem. look at what they did in SX this year testing that shock that blew out when it could have cost him the championship right away.one thing was pretty obvious was ryan didn't look like his normal self and who knows what problems really were the issue. Barcia did like I thought he would and I admire eli for hanging it out and not giving up
