I must of missed where Factory KTM bashed Stewart to necessitate having to release a PR to apologize for it.

Mm had plenty of chances to pass stew in the final moments.
Any guy that needs the guy in front to pull off the track and park it so he can get around don't deserve the win anyway.

Stew was tired, gave what he thought was plenty of quarter,
Mm was choking, Dungey as usual had them both covered.

Any guy that has actually raced a bit can see that.Laughing

Big of Roger seeing how he hates stew

What he hates worse is that stew can come out and win Daytona

The 'racers' on here know that a concussion isn't better until it's better

If James is 100%? Roger doesn't want any bad blood

Just let his guys by!!

James pulled over as much as he wanted too!

Wasn't about to make it easy for the team that knocked him out of the 2016 Supercross series!

Roger knows this.... & chose his words perfectly

Few more rounds and Dungey has got this

It's mx/sx racing !

Anything can happen!

Only true champions can pull & maintain points leads!

This is why the chase format will suck

The kids nowadays all need a ribbon

Brayton can't win a championship but if we change the rules ? Maybe he can

And maybe ? just maybe ? We can all be champions

I never called Roger a liar either. His opinion is just different from mine and all the guys i listed. If you took the time to look at Steve's pics or maybe read JT's explanation maybe you wouldn't be so black and white on the subject. But you have always been that way when it comes to James. You'll defend him until your fingers bleed on your keyboard. Even when a bunch of people in the industry say you're wrong.
I saw the pictures and read JT's opinion. I always cringe a little when I see riders pull over, to me that is lame. When I have lapped people or been lapped my main concern is that the person being lapped hold their line, and if you're lapping someone you should be plenty fast enough to get passed them quickly. Now some people might like the pull over thing, that's ok, but I don't. I don't defend until my fingers bleed, but I do get to laugh at the people who will post their negative opinion over and over again. They can't just be negative and move on, they have to force their negativity endlessly. It's very strange and says more about them than it does the rider. Like I said, I'll trust DeCoster, he has too much integrity to lie. JMO

Ok, who (representing Red Bull) outside of the KTM team took the time to give a shit to release that?

Again, this was a racing incident that Marvin could have avoided but instead he chose poorly. End of story....

I'm really amazed at the stubborn dumbassness around here, that keeps people saying that they know what went on and who's fault it is more than JT, Musquin or KTM. Absolutely freaking amazing.

How can Roger DeCoster even comment on the situation?

Has he ever won a supercross race?

This might even be sneaky Roger psychology aimed at MM: he uses tough love and is often the biggest critic of his own riders (I can remember him bagging on Dungey at the MXoN, and for not being aggressive enough in supercross, for example).

Maybe he wants MM to concentrate on himself and not point fingers, even if they could be pointed. He could have double-tripled and saved it. Releasing this comment does two clever things: it underscores that point to MM and disarms James' anger against both KTM riders.

Definitely. There’s a decent amount of angry and assumingly bored people on this forum to keep talking so miserably about something that is debatable, doesn’t really impact any of us personally and wouldn’t have been talked about nearly as much if it was some unknown privateer instead of Stewart.

The most sensible thing I have read here about this whole episode. ^^^

What's with the "RedBull teammates" term?

Soon it'll just be the RedBull vs Monster vs Rockstar series… probably how those companies see it already come to think of it.

The Man spoke. Chico listened.

Doesn't mean Chico believes it to be true, but he respects The Man.

This weekend mm25 should put a flashing red light on his fender for when he laps #7 to get him to pull over since he has experience with one.

Whether James was at fault or not (my view he was) doesn't matter BUT
If it was James and Ryan battling for the win and Marvin was being lapped and did what James did there would be no one stating that Marvin was not at fault he would be thrown under every bus that he could be tossed under.

We will see what happens next time because the way James is riding he is going to be getting lapped much this season.
Can't believe folks are offering the excuse he's not used to being lapped so he gets a pass what a pussy sport this MX is becoming.

Blame the trackbuilders for making that section so narrow if you wanna blame somebody... this is SX not AX.... bubba and dungey hit the inside and made the section, MM hit the middle and choked...You really think dungey was gonna be nice and let his teammate win? He was already nice enough to let him lead that long.
