Yellow jersey? Then he must be riding a Suzuki now. I'm sure he's happy to get off that Honda after all the stories I heard from this year and new Honda 450.

You heard Millsaps complaining?

Funny he was in 1st today but it was him who faded , not the bike.

Did you happen to see the rear end of IT's motorcycle in that 2nd moto? Not good. I would have to say the rear shock had issues.

He just looked like he wasn't feeling it today. Small bike? Rough track? Only he knows- just didn't seem to be the smooth as butter KW that we've seen before. For the record, I think its great that he came out to race- wish other fast guys who don't usually race the nationals would do that.

Stupid fuggin' statement! Look....if you think that , your an idiot. I don't mean to sound like an asshole here....but KW is way to friggin' big to be on that 250. he's made for a 450. he's proven that when he is in shape , he's one of the best on the planet , year after year!

Almost every single fast 450 rider had to prove themselves first in the 250 class....are you saying they all got slower? It doesn't help that about 1/2 the factory guys are out with injuries to boot. But to make some stupid comment like that , either you know NOTHING about MX or you are just an idiot. Hopefully you were being sarcastic.

It could go the other way........take a bunch of those kids and put them on 450's. The power would DEMAND RESPECT , and besides , most of them wouldn't be able to get through the first half of a moto and not feel exhausted.

KW hasn't raced an out door in 2 years , he's been off since the end of the SX series , and he admitted that he was only out there to have fun.

The fucking lack of respect from some of you guys fucking amazes me sometimes.

Oh yeah....DUH , ....KW sucks , he doesn't know how to ride any more.....I'm a fuggin idiot , and so on and so on.

Jesus Christ.

They always hung it out in that class. Always. K-dub is just a rider on the verge of retirement, that wanted to mix it up a little. I doubt he even had much time on the bike.

The funny thing about Windham and this race on the 250f is that he got more TV time for his sponsors ( internet time w/ the 1st moto interviews, ect.) then the winner. Whats everyone talking about? not the winner but k Dub. he will race on the 450 next week and be up in the top 5. Like most on here said at 200lbs. he is a little big for the 250f.

his qualifies times didn't reflect his results.

he was fast once his momentum was up but starts? and racing?

not so much.

next week he may run at the front in the big boys.

He outweighs his teammate Barcia by only about 60 pounds, and in the second moto, he was late to the gate and had to line up on the outside.

How many pounds per horsepower?

Well he sure sounded awfully cocky to me in the pre-race interview. Said that he wouldn't cut any of the championship contenders any slack just because of the points race. Yea, like he thought he was actually going to be up there racing Dungey and Pourcel. I wanted him to do well until I heard the interview. Why would you want to mess with the championship points race when your only racing one race? I'm glad he got his ass handed to him. Retire already.

I don't know the equation for that at all. Wouldn't it depend on the ratio of horsepower to weight in the first place?

But if you're right, that's a 15-hp disadvantage. Pretty big on a bike that small.

Im not kidding about my math skills, my college degree is for communication design, far from number crunching. I just assumed a 40hp CRF250 and K-Dubs weight at 190 and divided.

But there's also the weight of the bike itself.

So that would be K-Dub's 200 plus the bike's 220 or so. That's 420, and if it's 40 hp (nobody really knows on those things), it's more like .1 hp per pound. That still means he's riding a 34-hp bike against guys on 40-hp bikes, effectively.

If youve ever seen Kdub in the flesh he isnt big at all. Thats the first thing i noticed anyway. Super lean and a fairly average height guy. Photos and TV can be deceiving

I have seen him, and after a summer of playing on his boat, he wasn't in the same shape he was when he was 21.

I met him like two years ago and he's tall. He's one of the tallest/biggest racers in the pits for sure.
