Does anyone disagree that Roczen made a mistake?

By switching to a bike that will make him better in corners than before? I think he made a good choice.
Of course, I may be a little biased because ive rode ktms recently and they are my least favorite.

I will admit that it was quite a leap of faith to leave from such well rounded team. I hope and pray that it works out!!

He will be lucky to even make the main on that POS junk Suzuki.

I bet his team manager has no.clue about winning races either!

Well...I think the idea is what is more important: the team or the rider? Things have shifted more to the hand of the rider with all these independent teams...Stewart kind of proves this a little...when riders start having to manage a business as well as ride...it kind of gets in their way...these teams like JGR/RCH seem to believe you sign the right rider and that's it....but I disagree...

RCH is an upgrade from Factory KTM?? I think that's a stretch. Having said that, if he like the bike better, he did the right thing, but time will tell.

We'll know how well he gels with the bike in a race setting that's for sure.

Roczen looked pretty average out on that 8 year old RMZ, that brand new designed KTM with Dungey looked real good though. Suzuki the only brand with 3 in the top ten, just sayin

He beat far superior competition (7 and 2) at A1 last year on a ktm.....

I guess what I'm saying is that A1 does not prove much.

Yep looked like a huge mistake ... Kenny is the next heir to the throne, speed , starts and consistency.

He won the 450 MX title on a KTM and won the 450SX race tonight on a Suzuki. He won the 450 opener last year on a KTM. Again the bike means nothing.

If hes going to keep winning he needs to polish up that sponser list speach of his. He got em all in but it was forced. Somebody from RCH get Windham in to give him some tips.

Florescent Yellow. I liked it.

To those guys it does. Kenny said it himself, which is why he switched.
