You mean like when Justin Cooper quit riding the Supercross series early so he could get ready for outdoors even though Star only had one 450 bike in action…and none for the final round?
Or when Ferrandis didn’t ride the last few rounds of Supercross even though healthy so he could test for the outdoor season?
alot of people dont know but coop rode the star 450 after tampa in 2020. star had a 450 in there 250 truck at the time for test at Ramonos track
Word is he riding the Yamaha when he crashed! KTM found out and that was the catalyst for the departure.
That’s one rumor I heard floating around.

KTM kinda deserved it after they went and redesigned a winning bike. Hopefully we see Webb at SMX
He and Sexton supposedly signed around the same time, and AP didn’t re-sign until recently, so I doubt either had anything to do with it.
They parted on good ways. "The Man" made a solid impression on Coop for the last 5 years....best of luck to him over to the Blue, Godspeed Brother,.
My meager chop skills are showing.....that and it's a bitch to find a the right picture of a Yamaha logo hat in the correct angle....
Have you ridden the new bike?
I
Not really following. Did those guys get let out of their contracts?
I guess that’s what I’m getting at. That’s not normal mental behavior. All I’m saying. I think someone like cooper Webb could inflame that too. Again, not get in his head and make him crumble but I think cooper would totally piss him off and see where it goes. Jett is arrogant.
I think it's hilarious how the perception from a majority on vital is that the KTM factory 450 and 250 are both dogshit
Can’t handle the pressure of THE MAN #104 I reckon???? I no he didn’t like eldons program a lot neither.
Matthes just released a renthal reaction and explained the issue webb had with the bike. Cooper brought his own suspension in for.the first few rounds and was very happy with it. Apparently Ap wanted the same stuff. Ktm said no and made coop start running factory stuff again. Which showed in his results it sounds like that was the straw that broke the camels back. Obviously leading up to this there was other issues. Including ktm not letting coop out of his deal to go ride for craig dack in wsx.
Im going to say the bike isnt good but not dog shit. There has been enough riders say how they feel about the bike to say its not good.
I already did. "Pure speculation". I'll back up though and take your word for it.
Big Suzuki guy huh?
Seems that Webb has gotten soft and MX is too tough on his body. Jet on the other hand is full gas and not thinking about getting back in his motohome with the AC blasting. Webb had his ego deflated when a privateer kicked his “@&!. Jet has everyone covered for a few years to come.

Oooh this sounds interesting. Gonna go listen to it now.

Yes, but the field was so thin at a few rounds this year that I imagine Roger saying: if you can’t get on the podium now…
How that came out? Ktm didnt give him own bike to ride so he was riding own/others bike that day?
If that was really case KTM sure saved tons of money after contract violation?
Sounds like the gossip is getting juicy now.
Good to see the rumour mill spinning up 😂
Gonna go out on a limb and guess he was running KYB fork internals - seems like the superior setup on the pierer mobility machines
When I saw him up-close at Hangtown, he displayed no signs of being "over it." He was riding his ass off and came up a bit short. It's not like he's been dialing it back, unhappy with the bike. He's giving it 100 percent.
I could see that happening considering CDR is a factory Yami team, except Webb said himself he’s out for the summer. So back for SMX at the earliest?
How the f did you manage to work Jett into this thread. One of those "thumbs-down" is mine.
Don't you know the Vital protocol for this? Every thread has to have the Jett is the shit, Star Yamaha is the shit and KTM sucks so badly that your grandma won't even ride it quotes. As long as one of the three is mentioned in each thread the world will continue to rotate lol.
Next WSX race isn't for like 3 months
If true, that does not make sense to me....many people say the advantage of a factory ride is almost unlimited resources to make the rider feel comfortable. does the factory team manager, leadership get so arrogant that they think the factory stuff is the best and force a rider to deal with it? I thought the idea was to win, don't other factory teams allow riders to choose their suspension?
Side note: Am I the only person who thinks that "Pierer Mobility" sounds like a company that sells wheelchairs or those little electric carts you see fat chicks riding in the grocery store?
