Not funny Mr.

That's why the track looks at times like a dust bowl.

Next time I go there I'll bring my gun, my water gun.

First time on the bike and he's able to stay on McElrath's rear. Once he's comfortable and dialed, he'll be leading that squad.

I think the kid will do well (like Dean said, staying with McElrath is no joke), but I thought Roger/Austria said no more open track days for KTM/Husky guys?

What happened the McElrath? He was the man to beat last year. Now he gets used as traction.

I thought this as well. If I was McElrath I wouldn't want that new kid who's riding a bike for the first time on my tail like that. Bike looked a little wild too.

I'm excited to see what Ram it can do on that bike

100% goggles? I thought Oakley was a team sponsor?

Also, does the KTM Group ban on their riders riding open practice days not apply to the TLD team?

TLD has their own say in the practice regards.

And Oakley is team sponsor, I think the goggles were the one thing Cameron brought himself as they probably need to get him his own batch of product. He'll be Oakley by the time we get to High Point.

So stoked for this kid- one of the nicest dudes in the paddock.
He has done an excellent job of staying on the right track through injuries and just plain shitty luck-
Put his head down and got it done.
Proud of you McAdoooodoodleTongue

Rumor has it basically no one on that team is happy with the bike outdoors. I believe that's why they had Broc Tickle doing testing for them before outdoors started.

I honestly believe Cameron should be on a full factory team at all times. He's fast as hell , pretty consistent , stays healthy for the most part and is good on camera. Basically everything a team should be looking for. Just my opinion.

Well Michael Mosiman seems to be improving his stock very well on the white KTM so I think the TLD guys better pull a finger out and ride the bike. "At some point, you have to just accept the bike and ride it" - DeCoster speaking about Dungey after 2013 MXoN.

Edit. Here is the exact quote from RacerX:

"Ryan thinks the bike was the problem, it’s himself. Mentally, he is not focused on finding the best solution on riding, and finding the best lines. You know, it’s not a bike issue. It was not a setup issue – he used the same setup as Ken Roczen. I mean Cairoli is on a 350, but he has the same options. Ryan needs to look at himself, right now, and deep inside he knows that.”

Pretty sure this applies to the TLD snowflakes too.

I tend to agree but I also tend to think that not everything works for everyone, as proven by HRC Honda and Factory Kawasaki having two riders on two different suspension companies. I wouldn't think there's anything to the bike thing if it was just Smith struggling or just McElrath but I can't think of anyone that is on a KTM or Husky 250 that is doing that great so in this case I'd say Mosiman is the outlier. And don't tell me GP guys because we all know the different rules make things very different.

I mean what's the point of spending all kinds of money and wasting a bunch of people's time to test specific settings for a specific rider if everyone can just run Ken Roczen's settings and be just as good.

Love to see this guy get the equipment he deserves. I grew up racing with him in the Midwest and he’s always had that next level kind of talent. Super excited to see what he can do on the orange machine🤘

The KTM 250f's are great at the consumer level but they just don't seem to cut it for top pros.....
