Don`t you agree that article was a pinnacle of moto journalism? Why you want to hide it? You should make it a sticky.

You should. Ping and Matthes might get Pulitzer`s for investigative journalism.

here i will put up most of pings part again, although yes matthes kinda slammed them its his opinion and in ama sx a fact based opinion (apart from a 2nd for roczen) so please highlight any particularly offending parts from ping, I will sit here and wait…….


I’m not sure how excited Ivan is to be changing bikes at this point in the season but I’m guessing he’s just happy to be racing. When the 350 project was first launched here in the States the bike still needed some development. In production form it has come a long way since the Alessi/Short days and I can only imagine the race bike version is exponentially better. If Ivan can channel the 250 rider that won him two 250 supercross titles and an outdoor championship he should do just fine. If he tries to ride the 350 like the bike he’s been riding he is going to have a hard time. You HAVE to be more aggressive on the 350 to see the benefits of it. It does have a lighter, more nimble feel than the 450 and, if ridden properly, that could be an advantage in super cross.

When Shorty rode it, he had to rev it to the moon, and struggle to get through some sections. Ivan looks (and sounds) better on it.

Here's a shot from A1. In this flat corner I saw a couple instances where he'd come in, grab a big handful, and have the back end snap around.



I asked around with the team, and was told that he chose to ride it. Ivan didn't dispute it.

So what you`re saying is Matthes and Ping are full of shit about contractual obligations? Typical.

They both reference a contractual obligation for the team to put a 350 on the track, but surely Davi was planning to race a 450? The other 2 riders on the team are 250, so at what point did the contractual obligation to put a 350 on the track come about? That seems odd.

I agree that Tedesco should be happy to have the ride, and line up with a Vespa if that's what they ask.

They can all bag on the KTM 350, the KTM suspension, the KTM not a good supercross bike...but I could see later in the year when Millsaps is back and if Anderson steps up to the 450 class you could see nights when half of the top 10 will be on KTMs.

I is saying your English is much better than my Latvian. But then again, I'm more known for speaking fluent Manglish.

So what you're saying is ... let me get this straight .... You actually talked to the rider and team in question???

Quite the novel idea of fact-finding you did there. Was it hard? Do you think others might learn from your foray into investigative journalism.... ? Yeah probably not. Blink Whistling

Perhaps GuyB is a pioneer and will someday be awarded with a monument.

Does this " Dragging of Ping and Matthes bodies through town " type thread have something to do with " James is just riding around for RedBull Money " ? Just curious.

Gibby will be canonized upon his passing from this earth for putting up with all of us.

Hell the Lama may give him total consciousness too...
