I thought it was bike set-up and the 48mm front forks vs the 52mm's he used last year.

Both. That’s why he’s getting lapped every weekend, if not he’d be inside the top ten every weekend.
We all know he’s coming off several injuries back to back. Through that in with a bike that he doesn’t agree with and this is what you get. 
personally I think it shit on why they won’t just let him run what he fkn wants. 
 

he’s been worse and came back better, I suspect the same will happen eventually. The dude hasn’t forgotten how to ride, I just think we’re all ready for him to find the pace again. 🤙

Is that why there is only 1 Kawckasucki in the 450 main every weekend?

I'm talking about factory bike packages, not off the showroom floor.

Any contract these guys can get beyond age 27 is a blessing for them. Surprised he's been able to milk his career the last 6 years

Sadly barcia and triumphs are done 

I don’t understand how a manufacturer just use Yamaha frame and suspension, with KTM engine and claim they have something 

saddly pay media is making a hype but it is what it is 

 

ducati is a legit new bike from the ground up like a triumph should be

Triumph only really ripped off the engine design and a few parts like the swingarm. An interesting option for the price. Not sure what new brands have to do with a tired older rider trying to hang on to his childhood

Perhaps the powers that be at the multi-billion dollar international privately held company think people would buy a Yamaha frame with a KTM motor in it? I don't think any other maker sells one. I think Barcia signed a two year deal last year, they will get the forks figured out, maybe get the KYB units Sexton has.

Maybe KTM frames with Yamaha engines could be Triumph's next move to get rid of all the throw aways they must have.
