Loads of talent but he needs to settle down a little bit.

The kid is amazing but he just need to back it down a little, stay healthy and keep it on two wheels.

The rest will come with a little time and experience.

He's on a good team right now and Mitch might not be the best thing for Lemoine. Stroupe and Lemoine are cut from the same cloth. Both need to settle down to move forward and in my humble opinion PC is not the best place to be for either of these two riders.

No disrespect for PC because it's a fact that they are the strongest team in the lites class but it's not a good place for a rider to "settle down".

Well Mitch takes raw talent and molds it. Im just sayin Lemoine is the kind of kid that Mitch files in his memory bank. You cant teach speed, but you can put a solid program around a guy who needs that and create a champion. Im not sayin Mitch will run out and try to get Lemoine. In a couple of years if he is in the same spot he may be the kind of guy that could benifit from the Pro Circut Structure.

If Stroupe rode for a different program he would be a train wreck!

I agree with everything you said other than the train wreck comment. If Stroupe wasn't under so much pressure to perform he would settle down and get faster and more consistent.

Lots of pressure at PC, even if it's self inflected.

During the TV broadcast for one of the supercrosses he said something to the effect of "I am a black guy......" I do not expect riders to demonstrate a high level of intelligence, but his interview was anything but fruitful. He came across as an idiot. One of great things about motocross is the roots of the sport were grounded by persons with personality, but also respect so when I see some young rider who finds himself infront of the camera on television and reveals nothing but shallow arrogance it appears that motocross is heading for degradation much like other professional sports.

I respect his riding skills so please do not think that is what I am doubting.

"nothing but shallow arrogance" im not to sure what you meant by this, but im pretty sure the whole Lemoine, black guy in a white body has been misunderstood. Remember its highly edited for tv so you have no clue what was said before and after that. And also if you talk to lemoine for over a second you understand what he meant by this, the kid is goofy, and has a bit of rap-wannabe in him. Was it the smartest thing to say on TV, no, but we dont understand the full story. Fact is the kid has loads of talent and loads of personality.

His riding style reminds me of Guy Cooper he gives it 100% and does well or crashes trying. If he can stay healthy he will win some races and maybe get some championships in the lites class.

Yeah. I was watching him in Indy, and it was rare to see him do a complete lap without making a little mistake here or there.

Great talent in need of a little polish.

Some of you guys must never had a teenager or haven't been around any in a long time.

Most of them are goofy and haven't had time to develop the rest of their brains. Back in the day when the hero's of the past were young upstarts they didn't have as many camera's stuck in their faces and if they did I am sure not all of them would have come off as professionals.

The Kyle Cunningham of the east coast series. I like both riders a lot. They are both extremely fast, just make a decent bit of mistakes. They will both mature into excellent riders.

I was a fan of the kid until he made the comment about being " a black guy trapped in a white mans body." Total ignorance!
