Because it’s based on the KTM and TV said it wasn’t as good as his GP bike. The Australian bikes are rarely upfront. There was a couple motos that the Huskies started up front but other than that the red, white, and orange versions of the bike have struggled all year. It’s obvious it’s not on par with the blue and geez bikes, and it can be reasoned that the Hondas are only up there due to the abilities of Hunter.
I was really hoping he would work out and blossom with PC being a life long team green kid but it just isn't happening. Hoping he's not another supermini hot-shot burnout, kid has all the potential. Maybe a change in scenery and training program will get him on the right track but whatever he's been doing the last couple years isn't working.
Because they think equipment/bikes is the biggest factor of success but forget that the KTM group haven't had an elite rider on a 250f since Marv.
I have no dog in this fight, but KTM currently has a guy who came to the states with the exact same credentials as Marv.

Hmmm, I don't know obviously but kinda would have assumed RV would be looking at all of it if he's working with him.
I'm aware of Vialle, I didn't mention him because he isn't the rider Marv was credentials aside, at the same time Vialle has not shown his best but his best over in the GP's was not as good as Marv.
My point is they haven't had the riders.
The only difference between Vialle and Marv in GPs is that Marv went back-to-back on his c-ships. And Tom has had a better first season in the states than Marv did. If you're basing "elite rider" off of Marv's overall career, then that's doing a disservice to Tom, because he's just getting started.
Agreed.
I know you’re the great almighty, but I was just telling you what he said to me, and what ML said doesn’t bother me.
Clearly he has work to do, they all do to a point. The kids words were he doesn’t ride relaxed and needs to learn to, because it tires him out quickly. He is still learning.
The same happens to me when I race and it's because I don't train for it properly.
An 18 year old who doesn't quite have his shit together, imagine that, I am stunned. I think he can have a mulligan or two for a little bit, the speed is there.
Mr. Vuillemin's input is invaluable to me as a fan, and I appreciate it truly. But to put Ryder D's season in perspective when Mr. Vuillemin was 18 on a Kawasaki in the World Championship he finished 30 th or so in points. Perhaps he may have been a little younger or older, but their have been plenty of fast riders that took time to acclimate to the pro pace. As historians of the sport I think Mr. Lindsay and Vuillemin know this.
DV has been pretty critical about his own career and mistakes. He's pretty open about it.
Cool.
It's actually not cool but I'm glad It's not what I do for a living.

I was using him as an example of someone who grew into the sport....
Not all these kids coming out of amateurs are gonna make it.
Pit Row
yes i believe so but if he ends up doing the east coast in SX he would be at aldons place. the kid is loaded with talent . he missed half the year with his thumb injury and never felt comfortable on the bike after seeing all his teammates get hurt cuz of the bikes ..wanted to finish this year with getting the experience and by not getting hurt ..might surprise in the playoffs
Because they are Dumbdumbs…
I kid, I kid. We are all Vitards however.
There's only room for a few at the top. Most will fade out after a couple years, especially with so many going pro right now and the timing aint the best with the way deegan is riding.
Yep. That tv show '20-minute workout' when I was 15 changed me into a man!
He will not be going to Aldons.
He never had a problem with the bike.
I respect all the guys quoted above and Im gonna have to say on this one I think the kids needs conditioning help pretty bad. Its almost a guarantee he was gonna fade. He can say his conditioning is good but the results speak differently. He may need to also work on the other stuff mentioned but I got to believe he is failing conditioning class. I hate it too, I had high hopes for the kid.
Wasn’t this guy Kawi’s “guy” since he was on 50s? Didn’t he then have to do 2 years of futures, and they let him do one outdoor season as a pro and he’s gone? Is there that much of a discount between pc and team green?
really i believe his team mates got hurt when they had bike problems at different times during the year ..Joe wasnt happy with the bike most of the year also is what i heard ..on two different occassions ryders bike eitther wouldnt start or would cut out during races this year...not blaming his year on the bike im just stating what i heard,,.I do know he just wanted to make it through the nationals without injury and to get experience.. Ryder is very smart and very talented on the bike he will get up there without a doubt ..
