I'm a huge Regal fan, but this is not what I expected. Kyle, do yourself a favor and get some results. You're losing more than just points at the moment.

LOL what?! First round and salvaged a 9th the second moto, holding off Dungey for a good 4 laps and Grant the whole moto... I am confused... What did you expect?

I expected Top 5 in at least one moto after all what has happened. I don't want to bash him, I just know he's better than that.

I expected Dungey to win... but hey, we don't always get what we expect. I hope he can "get some results" based on your expectations for him too! Wink

Maybe YOU should show him how it's done.

From what I understand:

He's got a coupl'a weeks on the bike and virtually all the work on it has been done by Merge Racing...

Btw, in the 1st Moto...his chassis set-up was amongst the best...the braking-bumps, jumps, rocks, ruts, whoops sand and rice-hulls don't lie. He was putting that Honda into some very demanding lines and the bike stayed-put. He got some good starts, too...Merge is pretty damn good!

Then there's this: Folks in the Biz don't get along with his/his dad's "plan"...

If he's 19, like I've been told, it's time for him to make some decisions and choose "a direction".

I'm not judging: I'm stating what's gettin' thrown around by people who make some of these decisions...and most of them like this kid...he's jus' got deal with some issues and "make things happen".

I hope he get's things figured out...

Privateering it and a 14th OA and 9th in a Moto seems good enough for the 1st round.

By the results of his second moto yesterday, it looks like Regal already has it figured out. A 9th on a brand new bike tells me the setup is good, and that's all Kyle needs to build confidence and put in more top ten rides.

I was kinda implying in "The Big Picture"...

I'm one of those that thinks he belongs in a really good program and could go pretty far in the right environment.

Regal is a awesome rider but there are way to many proven riders to pick from that are moving up from the Lites class. Regal is going to have to earn it through results..

I think the Regal camp is doomed. They have inadvertently put so much pressure on themselves by dogging their last teams bikes and management. Not too mention the minute they leave the team a rookie gets on the same bike and pulls a top 4 on on it in Vegas. I think Regal and his step dad need to shut up and race. Regals camp talks like he's a championship contender and the kid hasn't even been on a podium. I remember when they switched to the 450 he was twittering that he was pulling record lap times at the Yamaha test track and his results would speak to the reasoning of the switch. Well the results so far say it was a moronic move.

Team green I totally agree with your above post that he could do great in the right program and a positive environment. The kid is fast and seems dedicated. I just think the whole Valli thing was stupid. Kyle should of just put his head down this year in the 250 class and full filled his contractual obligations with the team he signed to ride for.
Remember this is just my uninformed opinion looking in from the outside.

What the hell are you talking about? When has Regal's "camp" dogged his old team. I hear a lot of other people dogging Regal's old team, but I don't hear them doing it. In fact, when has Regal ever publically said anything negative about his old team?

They have moved forward and they will be better off for it in the long run, because you have to be happy to be successful.

I heard more then once his camp saying the Valli bikes were not good. And even if the reports I read are not true don't you think leaving a team in the middle of a contract reflects on what the Regals thought of the team and the bikes. I don't think happy people on bikes they think are good would pack up and leave in the middle of a season.

Like I said though. I'm no insider. Just going off what I read and see with my two uninformed non insider eyes.

You never quit a job you didn't like, Dan? Every time I quit a shitty job, that was the best day of my life.

Give the kid a break. If you don't have facts, and you don't have something good to say, just stfu.

It was a long day but a good one.
Kyle just turned 19 this month and Freestone would officially be a year he has been Pro.
I had some expectations that were, to be consistant, not fall back and to keep it on 2 wheels. 1st moto not so great but it wasn't so great for a lot of the racers. 2nd moto, much better, more in line with what he is capable of. Merge Racing has Jim Lewis who is well respected throughout the industry. There was a reason all the teams were talking about how well his suspension was working Saturday.
Would it have been nice to be on the podium, hell yes!
Is that something this kid is determined to accomplish, you darn right!
Freestone is in 2 weeks.

that is Irrellivant, i am not on here trying to map out some kids career for him...the sooner people understand there is motocross outside of california the better things will be..there is a very strong movement in texas as well as florida, georgia and a few areas up north...California is possibly the reason alot of riders do not make it in this sport

Doesn't look like the 'good environment' was California specific, probably simply a reference to an established team vs a self managed start-up.
