This is what it feels like I'm doing in my head when I ride Pala, but then when I see video of myself or am on the track at the same time as a pro I get humbled so fast 😭😭😭

Max is going to do well on the PC Kawi. The longer more open bike will suite his lanky stature as well as a great platform to be confident in.

They both look pretty good! Vohland looks to be a little more aggressive on the Kawi and I hope him and McAdoo stay healthy this year.

Max always looks good at Pala. However I expect Levi to be the one that really excels this year on the PC Kawasaki.

Interesting read by Ryder D about the Gas Gas and how it isn't as fast as the Kawi. The only thing slower than the KTM group probably is the Suzuki

Where is that article? I heard him say it isn't as loud as the Kawi.

Gasgas fastest factory bikes in MX2. Cant see US team running anything less than MXGP guys.

That interview is a transcript of part of their conversation on pulp. He said it isn’t as loud and doesn’t seem as fast but he likes the bike a lot.

Why is most of the media now referring to him as Maximus, versus Max?  Not trying to be snarky or sarcastic, just genuinely wondering.

Max is one syllable and still unique, whereas Maximus is 3 syllables.

He requested it.

Supposedly his Mom told media outlets they have to call him Maximus, and she also told the live broadcasters they need to call him Maximus.

Based on that, I couldn't think of a better way to get everyone else (non media) to call him Max.

I think he might be referring to the Racer X article.

https://racerxonline.com/2023/10/04/insight-ryder-difrancesco

"What’d you think of the 250 on a supercross track?
It’s a lot quieter than the PC bike, which is different. It doesn’t seem like it’s as fast, but right away I was comfortable. I went into it trying not to think about it too much. So, I adapted really well. Each time I’d get on the 450, I’m pushing it more and more and more, so I’d get a little bit more comfortable. No problems yet. I’m stoked."

Could he mean that it doesnt seem fast because it being quieter?

Yeah I don't think he was meaning that the bike is slower, he said it was more quiet so I took that to mean it's sneaky fast !!

Exactly, thats what he meant, its quieter so it doesnt sound like its going as fast so it threw him off at first. Its just like when ppl watch Roczen or Dungey go around the track the bike hardly makes any sound cuz theyre in a higher gear but theyre hauling ass. Compared to barcia who looks and sounds like hes going 200mph but in reality is a few seconds slower than the guys who sound like theyre idling around the track.
