Interesting, considering last week's reported technical issue.

With a new mechanic, you'd think KTM would actually come forth with what really happened

I especially like how the bike didn’t panic rev till the face of the next jump.  If anyone saw and heard some of the trackside videos during the race.   The mechanics are always blamed.  Have to feel for them.  The replacement will be the new scapegoat.

The real question is did Zimm get fired or did he quit?

Steve did an interview with Chase’s dad. There were a lot of red flags in there for me.

They were probably already mad at him for not hiding the KYB inserts any better. Throwing a rock at Chase’s throttle body was just the last straw Silly

Chase typically owns his mistakes, and he’s made a lot of them. I’d imagine this whole “rock damage” excuse and now new mechanic is coming from KTM and not him.

Almost never heard Chase or his dad own their own mistakes. 
 

All the crashes, especially Daytona his rookie 450 year, was JS7’s fault apparently. So they left him and crashed even more the next year. JS7 pointed it out and it made the Sextons even more upset. Then the crashing became Hondas issue. He signs with KTM out of pure frustration prior to 2023 even starting. Now everything is the KTM’s fault. 
 

IDK. You got a vid of him owning anything?

Woof, not a good start for Chase and Ktm. 

-signs deal and is honest about being uncomfortable and no where needed to go racing

-updated chassis right before A1 saved Chase he says 

-“New” WP suspension 

-“Rock causes freak issue”

-New mechanic shows up and Chases personal mechanic (who he brought over from Honda )poof gone 

-Chase still trying components with bike

Lots of issues out of the gate and nor a good start by any stretch.

I know its early, but This has to be the most misinformed comment of the day.. Do you even follow the sport or is there a language barrier issue for you?

No one said it was going to be easy.  I like Chase, like Roger, like Ian, like KTM.  I think they will get it rolling.

I'll tread lightly since you are almost dead last on the website in fantasy so your knowledge on current racing is clearly extremely limited...

But give me a few examples of where I am wrong and I'll counter. Lets have a real debate.

Why don’t you give a few examples of where you are right?
